Recruitment just not good enough

I was looking forward to 2011, right now i'd be be happy if were not wooden spoons. Our recruitment has been a f*cking joke this year and I hope Osbourne pays an ultimate price in taking Keating, Mateo and Inu for granted. Fair enough things like Grothe and Tahu were out of his hands but are any of you embarrassed with our recruitment efforts.

I used to be so proud of Parra because we would always blood excellent juniors that would go on to make their mark in the NRL, right now were struggling.

  • Can't blame Parra, they tried to sign Cooper Cronk, Quade Cooper, JT and other decent halves.

  • Said it before and say it again, i have no doubt our recruitment went hard as they could for all rumoured big signings within reason, but at the end of the day there is nothing they could do if those players could not get out of their contract or didn't want to play.

    I think if people just have a little faith our signings and young guys, while not superstars and some may be considered "past their time" by some, might come through to put in a great season. People so negative before the season even starts..
  • I am with the Monster, only decent loss was Mateo. Others were not consistent at all. Club tired to attract players.
  • At least the guty's we got will put in 100%.I liked Mateo but he only played when he felt like it, same with Inu and Keating!   Get over it they are gone....!!! 

  • Look at what Bennet did to St George! They were pretty ordinary until he came along! Amazing the difference a good coach makes.For a player to give his coach everything he has is one thing,but to follow a smart game plan is even better.Our guy's did not put in for Anderson, blind Freddy could see that but I think we will see all of them busting their arses for Kearney and each other in 2011.

  • I hope so Jai, Kearney may be the key but we all said that about Ando too.

    I agree with you guys to an extent, but it's also the reason why i'm bitching. If our Recruitment were better than we would have those players, simply saying we tried isn't really good enough. I'm happy we bought Maitua but I think the rest are duds.

     

    But i don't mind being proven wrong either.

    • I guess it adds a little more excitement to the season kick off hey... not knowing! I for one cant wait :-)

  • Clint

     

    Now your speaking my language. these other parra fans have no idea. They signed the worst players in the clubs history. this could be worse than Tolsen Tollet.

    They will be lucky to win many games next year. Clint i like ur honesty.

    I write things here all the time and they bag me. I am a parra fan but a honest one. I know my footy pretty well.

    Carl webb will be the only good signing.

  • NO toddy boy ....you can't sign blokes ...who aren't available...SK has come in at time where the horse had bolted....mate just accept the few  chosen signed players.... coupled with the existing squad might just surprise the 2011 doubters.......

  • I hope they do prove me wrong. but i dont like the signings and our halves are shit.

    That humble will not be in my squad, they should of kept mateo and played him at five eighth.

     

    well see what happens they have good forwards. but they dont have fire power in the centres to cos the opposition any problems. joel reddy is no frills and so is hicks and co. No more class players.

    Just need to hope jarryd hayne fires all year
