Extremely noble of you but weren't you slagging Radders to high heaven pretty recently?
Our recruitment was awful and if Radders had any pride he should walk seeing as he was both arrogant and ignorant.

Nzoungo wont be here next year
I've probably forgotten someone but without the 3 to come in that's a better pack and better depth than some current SL sides.

I'm optimistic and realistic about our current season. I'd consider it fairly successful for far. I have absolutely no idea what your referring to in regards to recently surfaced posters.

I think there's 3 camps.

1. Opposition fans that are envious of our recruitment so want to point out a deficiency that isn't there. These fans support teams that on paper will almost certainly have a worse pack than ours next season

2. Our own fans that opposed the Fonua signing and are just desperate to give their argument some credibility

3. The rest of us that are pretty optimistic about the team next season, and excited about the 3 forwards coming in and complimenting a superb set of backs.


4. Those who can't see the squad imbalance

So we have

Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Savelio
jones
?

griffin?
?
?
?

So 4 gaps if we use griffin as a back rower. unsure how many games we'll get out of ellis if he stays otherwise we're asking one of the youngsters to step up every week plus no specialist back up hooker if houghton gets injured.

Does that make it easier for you to understand?

Nor should you, as it wasn't directed at you.

I think people are seeing an imbalance when looking at announced signings, not rumoured signings.

Interesting times, after last season if you'd offered me 3rd and a CC playoff in early July I would have taken it.

If we can't count Ellis in the list, then Wigan can't count O'Loughlin. Matongo, Fash and Lane are maybe young but should all improve upon this season. I'd agree with the hooker point, but Houghton's played through us losing Cunningham, Hodgson and now Litten so nothing's changed there.

You're willfully ignoring that we've already said we're signing 3 NRL forwards. Of course there's an imbalance if you're not taking our recruitment into consideration. It's griping about absolutely nothing. The best teams only have around 7 top line forwards (if that) before they're drawing on their squad players and youths.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Jul 02, 2019 4:39 pm  
Why wouldnt Lane be counted, more than holds his own, and Matongos shown big strides this year when hes played, so theirs 2 to add to the list

Lets not forget Sao can play prop too, i fully expect kelly to drop into looseforward and Sao to revert to prop during games

Too much jittery panicking going on

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Jul 02, 2019 4:50 pm  
Kelly would get absolutely pummelled at lock, granted he’s a big hitter in defence, but tackling props 30-40 times a game would seriously impact his running ability.

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Jul 02, 2019 4:53 pm  
Is it just me that wonders if we considered making any move for Pauli Pauli from Wakefield? Rumoured to be going to Salford next season (and I know he's spent time on loan there - so that might have given them an edge), but he's just the type of impact forward I think we need - ala Pritchard - plus he seems to have played quite big minutes in recent games.
