We are also missing Matterson, Simonson, Lussick. Believe it or not, these are our in best 17 but poor form keeping some of these guys out. Yes recruitment is to blame here. We relied too heavily on juniors this season, but they are only getting a taste of NRL now. This is poor management from the club.
In the offseason everyone was praising the great signings we'd made , we cut some overpaid players and had oodles of money to spend , and yet upgraded some poor options and bought virtually nobody of note other than Fox. Cant blame that on the last coach. Whilst I think we must give Ryles a chance , blaming BA is just wallpapering over the fact that we recruited poorly leading up to this season . BA has been gone for almost 12 months. They had almost a whole year to get their shit together post BA . And here we are .

"What worries me is the left over millions we have on the cap. We will end up paying huge overs for dogshit blokes that belong in reserve grade at decent clubs. This is when blokes like Moses come sniffing for more upgrades. I.e Dylan Brown. If we…"
"I don't mind being a Lifeline club, however I am not sure that routing callers with suicidal thoughts through to Margo Kneel's office won't just add to their trauma"

Can't sack the new coach lol, he's just doing what he can with what's left of the team. Might take a year but have to reshape the whole team
Agreed. We have half the Reserve Grade out there at the moment. I'll hold my judgement until the best 17 gets some game time.
He's basically stuck with 90% of what BA roster was and some rookies lol

That's bull got rid of our best forward in Gillard and our captain it's all on him

Shows his arrogance
His cleaning bas mess, not his fault lol

Correct Parrapowa, it's a huge mess that needs to be clean up - can't blame Jason it's not his fault but of course others will disagree
