Same coach, same assistants, no Fergo or Lussick, and no new signings. Is it just me or will we finish around the same spot next year or worse? I wish I had TCTs confidence. One final question. How the hell have the dogs squeezed all these new signings into the salary cap?

Garbage
Parramatta have too pull there socks up before they fall off the rails and we go back to square one.
Lussick played a handful of games did bugger all to be honest as for fergo big loss but seeing dunster in that final think he is more than capable of taking he's spot . As for signings it's been a less than a week after the season wouldn't stress to much about it
Yep, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome, is the very definition of madness.
Seems near enough is good enough for those in charge at our club.
Was hoping sterlo might come on board as a analyst and mentor the side , a motivater
One more season without more progress and then you simply have to change the coach. He's done an outstanding job but if he can't achieve the goal the club so wants and deserves, then someone else must get a turn.
Only us and the Titans yet to win the premiership in the last 30 years. I'm sick of saying "next year"
And the Warriors. Not that it makes it any better.
I think we need some speed - we can't have our 5/8th being our fastest player in the side, we need a fast winger/center.
Our forwards are our strength but we will need a decent backup hooker - overall I think we will be there or thereabouts again but definitely not favourites.
To change opinions in the media, betting agencies and with NRL fans, we will need to show that we have fixed our defensive structures outwide and show that we can put teams to the sword when we are winning. This is what it will take before we will be considered amongst so called experts as a red hot chance.
You got it exactly right Heisen, speed on the ground and speed between the ears.
I do agree with that, we definitely could use some real speed, or a really damaging edge forward in the David Fifita / Kikau mould or both. We definitely need someone who can bend the defensive line out of shape just by their mere presence.
I think we showed in the finals that our past defensive issues on our right edge are more or less resolved with the addition of Will Penisini at right centre, his defence is exceptional. Our left side wasn't ever as much of a problem. Teams will still score down our right edge on occasion because every team attacks right to left so well these days, even the Panthers got scored on pretty easily in the GF down that side.
We definitely need to find two more quality dummy halves, particularly given the unreliability of Nathaniel Roache's health. Mitch Rein is a solid back up who we are clearly looking at, Melbourne have let Tyson Smoothy go, he went OK when Brandon Smith & Harry Grant were both injured, I'd have a chat to him.
