Pretty sure Ryan Sutton is now an Aussie citizen, may just settle for NSW Cup if he can't get an NRL deal

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:34 pm  

just listened to the Adam Pearson interview

as said five coming in from the NRL
added five large forwards mobile and young with good offloads

on a bad news front he said the club have had some more bad news today but didnt say what other than mentioned the reduced Sky TV money but it seems the club have to repay loans to both the Government and Pearson.
He said we get through the next six months and we should be OK
Questioning IMG

my thoughts
I think we have to hope that a deal can be made with the Government about either writing off the loan or extending the period over the next years as this to me seems to be the main financial problem

doesnt make sense to me how sky money is reduced,when the idiots in charge are letting them screen every game live.

Not totally against it, not dynamic but has a good kicking game and is an organsier, wouldn't be too bad with the running threat of Hoy and Walker.

Still have Hoy and Trueman as first choice.

That would give us Smith, Russel, Hoy and Truman as our halfback options. If we could add another overseas backrower of good quality we should have a very good pack to play behind. 2016 showed you don't need two top halfbacks to be successful you have a strong pack.

But hoy, Trueman and walker can't stay fit

You'd have thought if Carlos was leaving it would have been announced before the PotY awards, certainly before tonight's game.

Carlos isn't leaving. He's as frustrated as anyone with the season he's had and is determined to have a big pre season and hit the ground running come next season.

Think some of the comments about him have been harsh to say the least. 8 years service he's given the club and he's been the consummate professional on and off the pitch and always been one of our most consistent players.

Personally i don't think the added pressure of the captaincy has helped this season as well as trying to come back from such a serious injury.

That's why we are another Pivot, along with Smith amd Littwn, we should have better back up than this season.

Add in Harman too.

Has Jez Litten been dropped or is his injured?

Tariq Sims looks to move overseas according to reports in aus. Personally, I think he's done. Plus he doesn't fit in with the "younger" route we're going in
