DCE is finally gone as well as quite a few others. It will be interesting to see what the off season brings. I am personally hoping for the following:
- At least one decent forward signing ( this does not include Kobe Hetherington.)
- Signing of the Tom and Jake on sustainable contracts.
- Positive progress for some of younger players e.g. Walsh, Large etc
- No BS flashy videos but genuine insight into off season training.
- some smart no frills type signings moving on from Lodge and alike and yesterday hero type players.
- the appointment of a decent assistant to replace ennis.
- last but not least the big announcement of DCE signing with the Roosters 😜
Interested in everyone’s thoughts. No doubt there will be some interesting posting in the non footy section 😜
Nice one mate…..the season is done & dusted for us. Agree with your points for sure. Hopefully Tom signs for a few years on a reduced wage. I’m sure he will. As for Jake I hope he has a good break & thinks hard about playing on. I’d love to see him on the coaching staff……run on trainer to give the boys a kick up the arse if slacking off. Although I’d be worried he’d run on & tackle someone 😂. Give our younger forwards a chance to impress during off season training & trial games. Ensure Walsh, Fogarty, Brooks & Large spend as much time together as possible. Simpkin & Zaidas same! Would be nice to get a surprise forward signing or two…….backrow preferably. Finally assistant coach Matt Ballin. I think he’d do wonders with Simpkin & Zaidas!!! Rehabilitate the players properly rather than take risks.
