The best particularly when they are high profile also cost big money.

So the club needs to get value for money, ensure that the player is a good fit for the club and we are spendingly the SC wisely.

Sometimes it is better to sign 1-2 quailty players in key positions and 5-6 average players.
We then need to fill 3-4 positions with lower priced players, some of which may be young or below average.
IMO yound and unproven is always better than below average.

With Latrell Bennett is a master of motivation, Latrell had to get fit to make it at fullback he might not have done that at another club. It is also the case the Anthony Mundine has a long standing grudge against our club calling us out as racist a few times over the years. So there is a risk Mundine would get messed up in any relationship we had with Latrell.

So while Latrell is a great talent, he would have been a high risk signing for us.

Is the address Belmore Park, next to Central Station, handy, to shops, transport and the CBD?

Location, location, location.

The key benefit with Latrell is that he injects himself into the game and sets up tries or breaks.

It relieves the pressure on his halves and hooker and provides that extra option. Cory Allen hasn't developed that as yet, and we probably need that attribute more than Souths do.

The pricetag on Latrell at the time was justified only on the basis of him playing like he is right now. But it was difficult to see it happening. 

Abit of egg on our face now, but I'd rather spend the big bucks on players that consistently play at high level rather than hope you get them at their peak.  Good luck to him.

I really hope Joe Stimson can fire up today and prove why we signed him in the first place.

This guy could have had a premiership ring had he stayed at the Storm last year but came to us to play regular first grade. I know he was injured for most of last year, but didn't look like even deserving a spot in our team in the games he played. 

He needs to fire up coz he is playing under a new coach and needs to get into Barretts good books. His handy ball skills need to be seen today.

Looks like Keary’s gone for the season and that’ll be Easts too.

Feel sorry for Keary but Easts can suck it.

even before Keary’s injury I thought Easts were on the slide, Souths really exposed them last season and so did the finals and they’re weaker this year. Weakest of the “big 6” prior to last night. Might be lucky to make the eight now.

Good.

The chooks might rue the decision of dumping Flanno. Their loss is our gain.

Looks like Hutchison and walker. Is the boy up to the hype?

Nah.
Too many good players to miss the 8.
They have firepower all over the park and just need a set of halves that get a pass mark and they'll be easily in the top 6.

Losing Flanagan will certainly hurt them now tho...

Joseph Suali will come in and save them.

The last time we played the Broncos, TPJ tore us a new one.... who’s marking up on him today?

We keep him quiet, then we win the game 

Our kicking is atrocious.  We haven't found the ground or created a contest

Hoppa being found out big time

Time for Avo to go into centres for Hoppa and Lewis into 5/8th. We need a kicker in the attacking 20m that can get results.

The alternative is swap Avo and Allen.

This could be a 4-2 victory with no tries scored....

What a train wreck.... 

Fekk me.
We are worse than last year.
Diabolical.

I must admit.... Newsreader getting involved, he’s been the standout for our team so far!

Yet again, nothing from the forwards or our halves.... I hope they turn it around in the 2nd half

Hopoate.... is it me?

He looks even slower & uninterested!

It's like we are in a nightclub, staring at the hot chick at the dancefloor, geeing up ourselves to go up and talk to her, we finally go up to her, she turns and.....and......and .......we get fekking stage fright. 

We have been in their 20m on numerous occasions and our last tackle play has been abysmal. Flanagan and Avo are deers in headlights. Its cringeworthy.

Two minutes on the clock left in the half.
We have a scrum on their 20m midfield.
The Broncos are already packed in.

Yet we nearly get timed out when it's our fekking scrum with 2 mins on the clock.

Are fekking serious??

Are we?

Barrett should fekking slap every player that was in or suppose to be in that scrum. Smack them like Nathan Brown did to Barrett for far less.

Tell me more about this nightclub & hot chicks please Doc...!

Back to back zero scores is about where we are at.

Not sure if it's ever been done before.

Allen does a lot of things well, but he seems very pedestrian speedwise

I expect Barrett to tear into his halves - even in the press conference.

He better.

I'm convinced Hoppa should never see first grade again. 

Game over

Embarassing. How are we worse than last year? 

Justified result.
As bad as the Broncos are, they are at least trying to win. They are let down by bad mistakes and have a weak roster.

I have no words for us.

I prefer our crappy 2005 and 2008 teams.
