So basically went back and forth on will we make the 8 and contend the title. Riccio said no, squad is not good enough. Kent blamed players, Crawley blamed coach. See what you think over this.
They did sort of say the old adage last year, that BA is overachieving with this squad.

LB i cannot disagree with much they all said, besides Anasta as I don't rate him. I would not say its our final chance ton win a GF but with this current squad, yes. Who knows what we look like next season but a clean out of some depth players will be needed and or spine. Riccio made the point about we don't have an X factor type player like Tedesco.....i would say who does have Penrith have who is an X factor? They are just well drilled and have a v good half.
Oh, well I'll be fucked. It's like listening to myself. Whilst individually there's some drongos here in their own rights , it seems as a collective they all agree with everything I've been saying. Our superstars are not fucking superstars and it's Brads job to wake up to this and realise it's time to do something about it.
It seems these 4 have gotten together and unfairly pre planed their bias against our big shots hey Ploppa ?
. BA is a good enough coach to get this team to play above their weight , but he seriously lacks in his ability to make the tough call and move people along and bring in some talent that can lea$ this team to get the job done. Funny both the fullback and halfback positions were mentioned as examples.
If we sign Moses for 5 years we are fucked. Especially If something dramatic doesn't happen with Browns development. These senior players need a massive change in attitude from what we've seen if we are going to do anything.
Kent said the players need to be standing up and yes its the coaches job here to ensure they fire.
Coryn, that is spot on; i also think we need more from Mahoney out of dummy half ( running etc and putting doubt in defence); he should not be allowed to kick though!!
Good point there, Coryn. Also agree with your other posts around having MM & DB pop up on the same side of the field more
I've used that analogy for a long while, we are squeezing this lemon as much as we can, a rebuild or reboot is inevitable yet we can keep squeezing to see if anymore juice can come out. Some is coming out but not enough.
Big game player I agree with and sort of tried with Staggs being one went hard for, Manu a little interest. Is that O'Neill or BA or both?
in regards to both sides, I agree too, when we win both players and BA deserve credit.
Agree. Don't understand it either.
Grunts , I don't think any club that played finals footy would've been there without their halfback. Does that mean that Moses is the best fit for our team ? He's a good player no doubt , but it's about the right fit . It may not be him that needs to be swapped out , but unless something clicks then someone does. We are way too soft in the head and way too predictable. You don't throw 5 year deals at players that are the main playmakers in teams that are losing to all the cellar dwellers and looking stagnant. He has to own his fare share of this years rubbish just like the coach has to. That's what these guys are trying to point out. Moses in the media is a protected species, fans will criticise him, but no way with the actual media or commentators , same for Gutherson. It's about time there is a microscope put on out players and all this shit about Athur is now finally turning it onto the blokes on the paddock.
Might be the wake-up call they need.
Agreed Grunta, Moses is still a top 5 half. I have said this before and will say it again, in my circle of mates who are footy fans, every single one hates Moses and says they wouldn't want him at their club. All of my mates, bar one who supports Penrith and only started watching league full-time again in 2020 go figure, support clubs that are not in semis.
I counter by saying, put Moses in your teams and automatically makes you better, whether that is going from 15th to 12th still better and that is the point of buying a player to make your squad better.
Hodgson could be a god send for Moses to calm him down, or could be bad in taking the ball away from him.
I didn't hear anything we haven't already heard,
