Maybe I’ve got my tin foil hat on too tight but do we think the long, high value contracts offered to Saab and Shuster had anything to do with the Keith case? Not suggesting anything untoward but maybe signings based on emotion from the clubs end?
I wouldn’t sell Koula. His potential is untapped and his skillset suits the modern game perfectly. Needs to add a bit more movement before the line but once it clicks he could be one of our most talented players. I do agree we need some middle stocks but wouldn’t sell Koula or Garrick if they...
I only name I’m concerned with is whether they name him Fullback or not.
While at his best he is a generational talent I’m just not seeing it from Turbo atm. I say play him at #14 for 10/15 mins a half, also great cover for anywhere in the backs. If he can get to full strength the conversation...
Turbo for brooks. Manage him back to hopefully somewhere near his best by playing him 10/15 mins a half. If he can’t play 80 come the back end of the season some serious discussions need to be had.
100% agree with this! The poor decisions and lack of time we have invested into our junior pathways since the 08/11 era has caught up to us. Multiple good players let go, investment into the wrong type players have shot us in the foot. How do we not have a single prop coming through the junior...
Biggest issue is our coach believes replacing Burbo with Corey Waddel is a viable replacement. Fainu got arrested 2022, Shuster left us almost 2 seasons ago yet we have failed to replace both positions. We need to focus on our grass roots, how have we not developed a prop since Paseka.
Problem is when we had Barrett we were in the business of winning premierships and knew what it took to get there. Now we sign wooden spoon coaches and wooden spoon players. I think our Gus was Bozo and after he passed our direction left with him. I’m afraid how long we will continue to be...
At best he should be our #14 can cover any position if needed but should be aiming to play him for 10/15 mins a half then rest him. Watching him is sad
Something I just can’t wrap my head around is the difference between our best and our worst games. Not only does it appear to be an attitude thing but it’s also an ability and coaching issue. My blood pressure can’t handle it lol
Probably the same reason we haven’t won a premiership in 14 years. Complete lack of game awareness. some are born with it in spades, others never develop it.
Signs were ominous. As a team we need to find a way to find back momentum once it’s lost. Seems that we continue to crumble at any sign of adversity. Love my team but they make it difficult for me. History suggests we go 13+ next week
