Yep, that was bloody keystone cops, amateur hour stuff, if I ever saw it.
Hagan took over from Bullfrog becuase (apparently) Bulldog didn't want others like those involved in Oasis running the joint.
Hagan was just too old and later on was sick, the train ran off the rails in that era, and we are just getting it back on the rails.

Oasis, the salary cap, Coffs Harbour and Des, cost us plenty.

A good management team would have avoided the mess, or kept Des on a tight leach and that whole era would have been better.

Good management of the club isn't a luxuary, it is essential.

Thank goodness on the cleanout.

We have (rightly or wrongly) been a club that "looks after our players" by keeping them a year 2 longer than most others. All in the sake of respect and honesty. 

Unfortunately, I dont think it has been reciprocated except for 2003 when our big name  players took paycuts to stay together 

Last couple of years we didn't have much choice and we made a few bargin basement purchases that didn't work out.
A lot of the stuff that is on sale, is usually on sale for a reason, it takes great judgement and skill to pick up a player on sale who can be turned around. It is a gamble.
You guys coming through the grades are a known commodity in all respects and good value for money. For good NRL players you need to pay accordingly look for quality and pay for it.

In an interview, Billy Birmingham was relating how Tony Greig told him that he played a 12th Man album to Kerry Packer.

Billy asked “Did he like it?”

Tony replied “He lorfed his orse orf.”

F%#k..... Captained Munster & after 40mins = 7pts

Awaiting Supercoach’s words of wisdom......

Swap teams when Dman isn't watching...😉

Wasn't  it Bennett  that said better to let them go a year too early than a year too late. 

Apart from 2004 and our appearances in 2012 and 2014 it cost us 20 years..... yep that is plenty.

Wade Graham HIA. A bit of a worry with his  recent  history.

I've seen better defence in blindfold touch footy.

Nice move that one.

Will it sore DFaf at this rate...
Im gonna hang up the SC coaching boots after this year while I’m still a chance of snagging a consultants role...

Sack Holbrook...

Well the Tits are going great. Disintergrating after surrendering a 22 point lead. Just goes to show that no matter how much you pay or how many you buy, imports are not always the answer.

We're  buying plenty so I hope it works sometimes

Mdog we have bought a few but we are sprinkling a lot of juniors throughout as well so I am hoping we get the balance right. We look 100% healthier than the Des era.

Well TF..... Fifita scored as well as Munster so it’s still game on

That game was queensland derby rugba leeg at it's best. High attack, high scoring and p!ss poor defence. Isn't that exactly what V'landys thinks the fans want.

Their defence was ordinary and their attack is repetitive.

Broncos fullback is poor positionally cleaning up kicks, but great running the ball, neither side can tackle.
That is the first half in ine sentence.

Tits didn't offer much threat in attack 2nd half.

The defence was poor, I would not blame the rules, this time it was all down to the players.

The game showed the ref will always back the Brisbane crowd. That new halfback milked three penalties including the binning. All were rubbish calls. The ref was either incompetent or deliberately cheated to ensure the scum of the league won. 

Mate, there's  nothing up with buying. This week, 6 of our 7 backs and 4 of our 5 forwards and more coming next year. As I  say nothing up with it

A lot of forward passes and I mean a lot were conveniently overlooked. Brisbane were given lots of favours but the Tits didn't really put up much opposition either.

The Broncos contained Fifita well. After a burst of early points, without Fifita dominating, the tits had nothing.

GoDogs !!!!

The kayo pre-game show spent the entire segment talking up the eels and blowin' smoke rings out if their arses and we never even got a mention. I hope that's a good sign for us.

That soft try up the middle wasnt....

We need to defend this set.

I'm calling it now.
We are the worst team in the comp.

We cannot defend the 6 agains we willingly give away and we cant apply pressure on the opposition.

It's like betting on a result that has 1 in 30 chance in winning. No hope

Bugger....not looking good.
