2016 - We can challenge again

[chook75]

I think the capitulation this year along with 2003 an 04 were disgraceful...and that worries me about the back bone of this club. However that aside there is no reason they can't be super competitive in 2016. With Joe Burgess arriving that will allow Fergo to go back to FB with SKD in the centres at least until either Connor Watson or Murphy are ready. Hastings should play 7 with Pearce 6 and we will have JWH back. No reason why we can't be up there again but Hastings has to run the show with Friend as a stand alone skipper. Just my opinion.

My opinion is probably none of what you say will happen

You may be right...or not??

The challenge for 2016 for me is dealing with this websites server that has issues. It's like a rudderless ship. Hope Santa can provide us with a better server.

SOH still a rookie, RTS irreplaceable, and the rest of the team will be mentally scarred from the last two finals series.

The window of opportunity closed for now. I hope I am wrong.

[Andrew Walker]

yes i missed that one and in all seriousness young Connor Watson could also make a mark

[2026]

Top 4 finish then who knows again.

[Tommy Smith]

The window is closed.

At least the pressure is off for a season or two and we don't have to worry about our team choking.

[redrooster]

Strong squad yes but losing RTS and Maloney in one go will mean we may have to wait for a season or two

We had our premiership window and didnt make the most of it imo

[TDK]

Without RTS and Maloney especially Maloneys goal kicking it will be tough. I don't think Fergo is a fullback and hasting plays more like Pearce than Maloney which isn't a good thing. I'm hoping we have one last signing in the wind. Maybe a fullback like Coote. He can play both Fullback and 5/8, we need a ready made fullback not a kid or a makeshift one like Fergo.

There has to be some changes. Radical ones. For us to even be close.

When you bomb out like that two years in a row there are issues that have to be addressed.

I really can't get excited about next year. Even if we end up minor premiers (which is a massive long shot) why wouldn't you expect to bomb out again?

What's do you mean you can't get excited about next year? What else would you rather do on the weekend then cheer on the red white and blue. We still have a strong side across the park.

We need to replace Matagi with another prop cause if we have injury or suspension we will be short.

[The Brain]

You have to be realistic here too we had injuries to major players leading up to the semis.This didnt help .The big mistake Robbo made wa snot resting a few souffs game you could see Maloney shek Moa were spent at the end of that game what was coming against Melbourne was previewed right there.
Mrs Robinson must learn some thing from his semi preps otherwise as I said before he will end up as Rickys assistant at Canberra -same shit as 02-05
