| See your point. But if we all decided enough is enough the club would fold within 2 years. It's a juggling act. I agree we need to start to up our performances. Can't argue we have been crap the last few years. But we have a new coach and a fairly new team. Our facilities and reserves etc are one of the best in SL. Imo we need to get behind them . But in return the team needs to start strong as well to give us all something to get behind. Always the optimist. Ps Happy clappers a name given to me

| Graham isn't suggesting that he will give up, he's pointing out that even having bought a season pass, he didn't turn up for some games because he knew what to expect (a probable 40/50/60 point dubbing). Cards on the table here, I did exactly the same; and really wish I'd done it for the last two home games as well.
The club had already had our money (and vital point here, will get it again next year despite the home "performances"icon_wink.gif; if anything, this is showing a true level of commitment that many of our players utterly lacked, and have done since 2018.
IMHO, the club needs a massively improved offer to firstly retain, and then hopefully attract those who are not "diehards" (or insane masochists as we seem to have become).
Not just on the field - and I am hopeful (it's the hope that kills you) that the squad changes will see that begin next season, but also off it.
Revenue streams have been mentioned often, and one in which our club has historically done well is in merchandise sales. Whilst the kit itself has looked good, the standard of the rest of the stuff in the club shop (again IMHO) has been dreadful in the Hummel era. On several occasions each season I have been in one or other of the shops, 100% willing to spend a decent wedge of cash if there is something worthwhile for sale, and EVERY time have come out empty handed. The gear in there would not be out of place on a tatty market stall selling knock offs - screenprinted or ironed on club badges on thin polyester rubbish in colours that bear no relationl to the club's colours or kit, either home or away (or third, fourth...).
The club has seemingly been drifting for some time now, and there are lots of examples beside these two.
Venting on here isn't going to change anything; but for a game in a seeming death spiral, the degree to which our club has taken things for granted is baffling - that's why even "diehards" are almost in despair.

| Happy with that, gives us halfback and hooking option, played well when I watched him for the Knights. Been called up for New Zealand too.

| Seems to follow lots of the team / new signings on Instagram too, good signing if he can start the season at 7 and move to 9 when Trueman is fit too

| Brown to 9 in 2025 when Danny retires and hopefully we will be in a better position to sign a quality half too.

| I don't think Dan runs that story unless he's signed.
As well as Pearsons quote in his interview. I think it's safe to say he'll be in black and white next season.
Gives us some real options moving forward. Similar to if we signed Cust.
I'd say he's a better 9, but I haven't seen a whole load of him at 6

| Looks like he can cover goal kicks as well so a few options in that respect with Sutcliife, McIntosh and Hoy.

No disrespect to Hoy, but he shouldn't be anywhere near the GK if he's like he was at Newcastle. He was woeful
I'd give it to Sutty to start the season

100%, it will be announced in the next few days.
I know it's not that accurate but has a very impressive highlights package, features a couple of our other new signings too.
Decent age and unlikely to have a release clause,.
3 Dogs players too, so they will know each other and make it easier to settle.

A bit of pace,good ball handler,and a great step.
Will liven us up at halfback although like you think he will develop into a top nine in S/L.
Good signing considering we are getting a genuine 2 in 1 who can also kick goals

Would agree with that and if Clifford not had any first grade chances in 2024 wouldn’t be surprised to see him back for 2025.
As has been said it’s been very quiet on the signing targets and only seems to leak out once the deals have been done.

That would be ideal if Clifford was to come back or someone of that quality. Or as mentioned above in an ideal world one of the young halfbacks at the club makes the grade.
