Can our club please just approach Victor Radley and offer him 3M for 3 seasons?
Just watch how the Roosters attack in numbers. Ever tackle of every set they have at least 2 players next to the guy receiving the ball who hits the ball up. Very rarely do they send a forward to the line with no support.
Now watch one of our games.
I rest my case.
I cant sharp on this point anymore. If our club and management cant see this, just boot us out if this comp coz I'm sure there are clubs out there who can do better.

+xWhat vid ref just say??? something like “ample opportunity to make a play”... does that mean inside shoulder not a thing anymore???... not saying it was inside shoulder just weird not to hear it... I thought it was poor from video ref. I thought the bronco player was disadvantaged enough to not be able to wrap BMorris up, who got the ball away and scored. In any case, if Broncos arent careful here Roosters will put a score on them. They look dangerously slick tonight

+xIn regards to OK and CHN, I believe that they should have had some form of punishment for breaching club rules, but terminating their contracts was over the top and way too harsh. A fine and a few weeks on the sideline would have sufficed, but the clincher was TTT going all gangbusters and de-registering them was totally uncalled for. Regardless of what the sanction was it should have included a period, or at least a time before which they could not apply for registration. Without this I don't think justice is served. If it's life so be it. For god's sake with all his transgressions Shane Flanagan has a timeline.

We were already amidst the Covid-19 shutdown and the club should have let the virus headlines take over and allow people moral thoughts to subside. But instead the club saw it as an opportunity to pay 2 less players their money and tripped over themselves to sack them. Now I bet they regret their decision. Poor management by the club on this one. It’s that stupid theory the club has at present....
Good people 1st, talent/excitement/x factor etc a distant 2nd

+x+xhd, you're right nobody likes losing... except for maybe Dean Pay. I thought Dean would give the team a new outlook and direction, but it appears that he is no different from the former clown we had at the helm who refused to make game play changes, relegate underperforming players or give the youngsters a taste of NRLol. Yes I do feel we are persisting with a form of Desball but in Pays case he continues to place players out of position which is making Desball seem somewhat successful. In additionI think the Board should put the glass barbeque down, stop basking in their successful election, and take a good hard look at is what is being achieved (or lack thereof) on the football field. You call him a clown.... I call him fwit idiot Des same same I prefer the latter....

+xQuestion? Would you take Jayden Okunbor and Corey Harawira-Naera back? Next year I bet Jayden will be at the Sharks. And CHN will probably be back at the Panthers. They will be the REAL winners. Why we look so Stupid. Me personally, Andrew Hill needs to speak with the NRL and have CHN re-registered and free to play from round 11. JO needs to sit out the whole year. And allowed to play for us again next year. Would they want to come back to us???

Why we look so Stupid. Me personally, Andrew Hill needs to speak with the NRL and have CHN re-registered and free to play from round 11. JO needs to sit out the whole year. And allowed to play for us again next year. Okunbor is the worst offender, and offers a lot less as a player... Personally I didn't think CHN deserved sacking, he deserved big fine and long suspension ... However regardless if what we think in moral terms, CHN is an excellent footballer... IMO both, part particularly CHN should be allowed to play NRL in 2021.. Okunbor might not get an NRL gig and shoudl perhaps play 1-2 seasons in the UK or even Rugby.... Footy is their career... In terms of either coming back to our club, that ship has sailed... Most probably we are getting a new coach for 2021 and that coach will shape the squad for 2021, with the players we have, and some sensible additions, we will have a good team... For this year no doubt the loss of CHN has reduced our chances, perhaps we beat Parra round 1 if he plays and the season pans out differently, wining momentum and confidence are important.. This season is really showing up some deficiencies int he coach and squad, problems we knew were there all along but had been hoping would not bite us.. Bateman is injured and seems mentally mixed up.... I'm glad he isn't coming... If the coach makes best use of the talent already at the club we go better, maybe then 1-2 smart additions get us somewhere... In terms of the game against the Dragqueens, both side know how important the game is both should step up, I think we probably win but all outcomes including getting flogged are possible. No one enjoys losing, but sometimes losing teaches you valuable lessons, start winning a few games the season will be different, that is still possible. I have no idea what to expect next game, fixing our problems via recruitment in 2020 is a tough ask, we need to fix our problems then add what is missing via recruitment.. There are so many problems, we don't all agree on what is important, I think the club would like to sign 6-7 players ASAP, that isn't happening.. for 2020, but should happen for 2021. Lose against the Dragqueens this season is about developing young players... and building for 2021, player development is then more important than results, but young players are exactly what the team needs, make the call on some of the current squad and drop them... I totally agree that JO was the was offender. Still what we have witnessed since in regards to Latrell and Josh Addo-Carr we have been punished too heavily. But I believe that this year was going to his year. I just know he be at another club next year fulfilling his potential why we continue to struggle. With CHN, he is going to be one of the top 5 second rowers in the next three years.

+x+xSo how does a germoulist reporting live with a camera person get ‘attacked’ by a protester allegedly shouting ‘admiral akbar’ without there being any footage or audio???... #dramamerchants... The media has officially suspended corona virus while the protests are on. Will return with new episodes at a date to be announced. With the level of COVID-19 still present in the US, and in particular in the Black community, no way are these protests are good idea... There is a warning for all countries in this, becoming a divided nation with a lot of inequality and poor standards of education never ends well. It is the same in everything, countries, business, sport, unity is strength, division is failure..,

+x+x+xThere’s not many coaches on the market, thats the problem. It might change by seasons end or might not either. I discount most of the available Griffith I’d have in a junior development category and in fact would chase him, but he probably wouldnt want the job, I wouldn’t let him near a locker room because the room divides around him. Toovey does appeal but then again so did Des. Wildcard is the English coach just appointed Shaune Wane. He wants to coach NRL in the future but with coved f***in up the international scene the future might be here. Big risk but so is everyone else Toovey is a very different personality to Des,,, We could get Flangan, if the NRL allow it... There is also Trent Barrett and a few other ex-NRL players with coaching experience... First criteria, we need to believe the new coach is an upgrade from Pay... we can look beyond their win /loss ratio to player development, team selection. man management etc. Also Kevvie Walters, Ben and Shane Walker,Jason Demetriou While the Walker bothers and Demetriou are a gamble, they are a gamble with a lot of upside... in reality any coach is a gamble, if you are bold and gamble big, and you win, you win big, in the NRL winning little and getting acceptable results isn't history. being bold and winning big is what it is all about.. The club just needs to manage the cap so the coaching gamble doesn't put the next coach in the same position as Pay. The right coach isn't buying high priced talent, they are making high priced talent.. the kind of mess Pay inherited is not that common.. I'm leaning towards being bold, because the club needs to shake up its mindset... we need to be a leader, not a follower.. I'd take Kevvie in a flash. He can articulate 2 sentences together and looks like he devise a gameplan to compete in the modern game. Only problem is that he talks too much. But then again, with him as coach his son wouldn't be too far from joining us when his contract is up.

+x+x+xI’m starting a new hashtag..... #AttackingPlaysMatter I only got to see the first half, so I can't comment on the whole match. There's 2 things that stood out to me - still struggling in attack - the other was how easy the Manly backs got through the Canterbury edges. Before I started watching it my gut feeling was Manly by 12 if Canterbury had their defence in order (maybe even taking it down to the last 10 mins), but if the defence had problems I expected a blow out if the prolific point scorers in Manly's backs had a field day. After seeing the final score, good grief, the less said from me the better. Now that they've had a run after the break, I'd like to see the defence improved against the Dragons, but can't expect miracles in attack. We can improve a lot in both areas, the left edge defence is terrible, we will not be competitive until we fix it. Attack was summed up for me by the pass Cogger threw well over Meaney's head, Meaney was out of position, but Cogger should have looked before passing, and passed to the player. There wasn't a lot wrong with what we were trying to do, but the execution was abysmal.. Then we gave the ball to Tolman for no apparent reason , he got thumped and dropped it... Everything was wrong with that play.. The team is capable of a lot better than that, no excuses.. BS Tolman would have put himself in the position to receive the ball no matter where we are on the field. Im surprised he doesn't stand next to Lewis on the 5th in the hope JMK finds him with a pass......
