The thing is with every rebuild you never get all the jigsaw peices at once. Whilst it could be better im happy with how its going so far, a lot of players left who have not taken us into the play offs in years. Replaced with players with a point to prove or are young and can improve.

A rebuild has to start posting results and going in a certain direction before genuine top players will take a chance. It will take a few seasons I am sure and Id rather wait to get some more jigsaw pieces at the end of 2024 rather then a stop gap one in 2023. Our recruitment IMO will be alot better for the 2025 season as the player turnover wont be as great.

I could be wrong but I dont think we need to panic buy given that we have no relegation and some youngsters coming through.

Agree completely, people are deluded if they think the overhaul will deliver amazing results overnight, we just need to be heading in the right direction next year

Is he worth a quota spot? He's a hard working middle who performed well for Wakey, but I'm happy with our middles

Didn't think we'd get anything this week, might announce the kit supplier? Although a surprise signing would be nice too

I suppose you could say the same about Pele though, is he worth a quota spot given he has played so few NRL games, could turn out to be a bienek or a maiava type project rather than a moa type project, same of a player who's nickname is "knock-onbur" only time will tell how they turn out, Whitbread is a pretty solid signing for rovers

Agree, he’s a decent forward. I just couldn’t resist the trophy comment.
I’m sure kr fans like oafy would have done same if it had been fc.
