With another season in the books and another year we fail to life the premiership trophy, I know we won't be winning it in the 2-3 years but is there anything to look forward to that can gives us some hope? Young kids coming through promising through any good?
Shame 09 lost to cheats and 22 ran in to a once in a generation team who were at their peak.

Next time, make it a little more depressing hahaa. At least we made a GF. Canberra have made one in 32 years. Warriors 2 in 30 years. We have made 3 in 25 years. Slightly better than most. Hell, North Sydney made 3 GF's in their 91 years history.
First we need to get into a position where we are actively filling key gaps in the roster before they become problematic. We tend to react to situations rather that predict them. Secondly we need the entire club on the same level where KPIs are agreed and measured. Nothing less than continuous improvement is acceptable.
We can get there, but there will need to be major changes to how this club is run.
All we need to learn is how to rig the salary cap like the Rorters. An example we sign Pezet for 500000 Rorters sign Chery Evan's for the same.
I don't believe anyone on this site will still be alive when they finally win another one.
It will be our time either when we get a financial backer that can get around the salary cap and buy a competition like the Storm or Roosters or when we can develop a squad from our juniors and have lof term success..
Moneyball is what we have tried to do over the past 8 years and that doesn't work...
Moneyball worked for us in early 2020's. Issue was is we relied on it too heavily in 2023, the team fell a part quickly as we bought players like Murchie, Momoisea, Doorey and the likes thinking they will be Isaiah Papali'i. Moneyball worked well with the likes of RCG, Cartwright, Blake etc. Where other teams paid for their contracts, that is where it worked well. But as with everything you need balance.
We are pushing onto our pathways. Just hope with Mike Rush, we can get good people in to see it through.
Our only chance right now without a competent front office is if we get a generational group of juniors that come through at the same time
Its about luck with injuries/suspensions and/or having momentum heading into the finals.
Also, luck with the big moments. Big moments arent just about being good either. Sometimes moments are "won" because of refs stuffing stuff up or random cheating like the panthers trainer in 2021.
Technically we could make the gf next year. But just like newcastle we would need a lot to fall into place.
Newy, didn't get it easy Nitram
100% not easy. The opposite in fact. But it still needs to fall in place.
