I can't say that I am too excited about our roster. If each player lifts 10% and they play for each other we may be competitive but they aren't particularly scary. There are players in the top teams who can turn the momentum of a game but I just haven't seen it in ours.
Unfortunately i agree with you Titanic Believer. I just don’t think we put the fear of God into teams. Our so called Masiah is overweight , we had to bring back his best buddy so he plays well. The only 2 players that give me any hope for 2019 , are AJ & Arrow. Even our coach has me some what concerned. But i suppose only time will tell
^^^ premiership odds markets have us battling it out with Manly for the wooden spoon
Where we finished 15th..
Why can’t we sign someone like Peter Ryan. The man is that renowned for his defence techniques that he is taking the donkeys and the reds on at the same time. We have been bad in defence for the past few years it just seems crazy that we don’t look into it.
I hope Leo is doing train and trial. Cause he is leaps and bounds ahead of the others mentioned. And probably a few that are in top 30.
Suprising they have signed players that are similar in size and shape with Pere, Paulo and Arthars all very similar in playing style and age.
I see what you are saying about the similar players - so i wonder if they are stockpiling a bit and its up to one of them to stand out and demand a spot.
A bit like when Henry got Paasi, Peteru, Pulu, Robinson and i think another one or two in the same off season. Robinson and the other guy were never heard from again, Peteru never quite made it, and Paasi and Pulu were pretty awesome at times and built careers out of it.
If one or two of that pack stand up then its been a good tactic imo, and fair being fair -Leo's ability and recent performance should have him in good stead.
