A clean out is not the answer

[Wombat64]

You are exceeding yourself Biff . pardon my ignorance but i have never heard of some of the terms or words you are mentioning today .

Biff has spent all day looking up big words on the internet! Yay Biff! Well done. You'll get a gold star.

In a season where the team is getting reamed by the opposition every weak, I guess even Lube Tube has its place ..............

So now we’ve established a clean out is in fact the answer, who goes first? Do you think we will release anyone this year or it will all happen next year?

Bradley Parker, Lachlan Croker, Jack Gojetski, Jorge Taufua, Martin Taupau, Morgan Boyle...come on down.

Messrs Reuben Garrick and Curtis Sironen may join them.

Your just an ultracrepidarian mate... admit it you looked it up like 99% of ST

A bit ultracrepidarious of you to think that, no?

Yeah cant believe i left Sirro out..he's washed, with his best days behind him unfortunately. Garrick i would have agreed with two weeks ago..i feel a bit better about him now. But thats probably a mistake.

I’m no “ Technical Coach” but it’s clear to me now that the Des / Donny Singe combination whilst hugely effective a decade ago is now “ old school “.

They haven’t adapted to the new game at all.

Whilst we have a few very ordinary players I’m with @Snake , a complete clean out isn’t the answer but one in the coaching set up would be a good start.

Who would you keep out of the current roster. Me.. maybe three or four of them..

Did you look it up? I don't think you used it right old mate haha

I’d get rid of the known under-performers but depending on who else is available some may have to be kept.

Well yeah - you assumed 99% of the forum looked it up.

Garrick has lifted last few weeks to be fair to him.

Garrick has lifted last few weeks to be fair to him.

Yes he has BUT he isn't worth keeping on. If we are having a clean out let's do it properly. A half assed clean out won't cut it.

A clean out only works if you can replace with better players.

Riddle me this.

Who in their right mind would want to come to our system in 2022??

Our ONLY path is doing what Penrith did , recruit the best possible juniors we can , play them , learn to live with the losses in the hope that eventually they come good and gel as a team.

What you say is so obvious it defies belief Mark. There are enough senior players in this team to throw the kids in. We have three guys who started for Australia last time round, a seasoned kiwi representative prop and five eight and a centre who is still young and was judged the best in his position three years ago.
I and almost every manly fan I know will cop ordinary results if they see the future.
Croker Boyle Parker and co aren’t the future. We have five or six players in our 17 who wouldn’t even be considered for top 30 spots at other clubs.

So f***ing spot on.
I would happily lose if Parker, Croker, Garrick, Boyle were dumped for ANYONE ELSE.

We already know that these guys can't cut it and should not be part of our future.

Des is a f***Ing idiot.

I dont think anyone knew the meaning except me. Im the 1%

Quite presumptuous of you mate.

Absolutely agree with you Mark. A clean out to me is not bringing in overvalued and overrated players from other clubs, who are only here for a paycheck. I am talking about a two stage clean out. Firstly, we need to clean out four, possibly five of our current seventeen, and replace them with younger squad members. When Saddler and Burbo can be brought into the team, we do that as well. In fact I would like to see our younger players be given a real go this year. When we come to the end of the season we should not re-sign 10 out of the 13 currently uncontracted players. Then look at bringing some more juniors into the 30. Then top that up with some players from other clubs who are really motivated to be with us e.g. Andrew Davey
I have no real interest in chasing players like Nathan Brown et al
