- We really have no good options in the backs and Lobb was poor in Cup
- Sezar has to...
Think Olam will only end up being here for 2 out of the 3 years. So a subsidised first 2 years could work well.
Rumour is PNG team to be announced this year for 2026 entry. Olam would be a lock to be signed as an inaugural player and I'm sure we'll be happy to release him for 2026 with 1 year...
I will just say this....
We have one game left. Please play Matamua as a ball playing 13.
He's not a hooker and our halves suck.
What is there to lose.
Morris in as assistant will be great. He's a great coach but doesn't have the media pull that Benji does.
If Furner is out as Assistant Coach I would go with Dean Pay for defence. Despite a much more average Dogs roster than Barrett or Ciraldo, his team's actually had some heart and could...
Step 1 - Remove Sheen's as coach so Benji takes over
Step 2 - Sign experienced assistant to support Benji
Step 3 - Fire Benji after the team doesn't improve within a year
Step 4 - Promote experienced assistant to Head Coach and proclaim another 5 year plan
Step 5 - Repeat
Reading between the lines, Xavier Willison could be part of a swap with Simpkin.
It's well known Bronx want a hooker, and Simpkin moved here from QLD to join us.
We need some experience, unfortunately there isn't much available.
I'd go Sezer, but then also bring on board Austin and TMM considering Laurie is rumoured to be on the way out and Wakeham, although has been serviceable just isn't a first grade player, train and trial at most for him.
TMM is...
Would have been amazing if we somehow won a game with a halves combo of Wakeham and Smith.
Last offseason the focus was on a Forward pack.
Hopefully we start recruiting some backs and halves asap.
From last night's 1-7 Bula, Tupou and maybe Toa would be the only ones that should be in our...
We need to do a Penrith really.
They brought in Wallace and Soward who were both unwanted by their clubs but had experience.
We should be focusing on low cost half options with experience and then building the backs and forwards with the extra cap space while we develop our kids...
Good luck to Brooks, we never found him a good halves partner so now he gets to play with one of the best.
Sucks but we are years away from finals with our lack of halves ATM.
