When will questions be asked of these two regarding our RETENTION/ recruitment decisions ? Or are they simply untouchable? .

Give it a rest we are 5 games in to the season. If you can celebrate 3 successful seasons you can put up with a rough start for once.

Is it Dejavu or has this thread been started 3 times before?

Yep 5 games for 5 losses, plus stats that show just how bad we've been.
I'm competitive, so sorry i expect more from a professional club. If you're happy or think its acceptable with what they've dished up, on and off the field, I'm guessing you never played a game in your life

Our recruitment and retention from 2015 to 2016 is the worst I have ever seen by any club. Simply disgusting the amount of talent allowed to walk out the door with absolutely zero signed to fill the gaps.

POS in my view has been a joke. He has "unearthed" no one. Just been allowed to throw the cheque book at established young stars without actually getting hold of anyone of note at an early age prior to other clubs being interested.

Robbo has this season to prove he is not another Ricky Stuart. Feels very 2005 to me right now, though

You're a whinger and nothing more. You celebrate the success but cannot dig deep in the hard times. You would be the last person to be in the trenches with.

Thats your mistake mate. You aren't even playing the game, just chill out and enjoy it how you can.. As for being competitive, if you cast your mind back to when you did play, I'm sure you'll remember many games where your team played their guts out and still lost.

I cant be sure, but your spray sounds a lot like bad sportsmanship to me, something that seems to be overlooked these days.

As for when we start winning, IMO we are close, we just need an edge of class, experience, and a bit more depth. That will start to appear in the next few weeks.

It's not our attack that's disappointed me as that's understandable due to the loss of some genuine attacking weapons, but it's been our defence which has really pissed me off. Some really poor organisation in defence. Paper thin defence. That falls back on Robbo and the coaching staff a lot imo.

The poor attack I can tolerate due to the aforementioned reasons but defence not so much. This really comes down to attitude and fitness.

It's also been in the back of my mind that Robbo can't be ruled out as a Ricky Stuart type. So many posters on here were adamant he was far better than Stuart but the fact is Robbo inherited a pretty damn good team. Now that we've lost a few players, we've turned absolute shit. Robbo's star is fading away quickly and we need to get some points on the board soon.

**** this forum can bitch. Stop complaining about recruitment and retention when you have no idea what happened or is happening behind closed doors. Sometimes players just want to leave and there's nothing we can do. We have the side to win games. We have a lot of new faces. We've lost two games due to not having a goal kicker and lost by a point today. Hardly the end of the world. No coach would have got a different result from the current team we are putting on the field which is obviously under strength.

Yeah where's Moderator? I reckon he needs to step in...

Oh... In which war did you serve?

As frustrating as 2005 was we just missed the eight.

The spoon is more likely this year.

You give it to teenage rookies in one thread, then preach patience in another.

Uncle Nick really wants SBW for 2017. With the upgrades to Hastings Cordner Ferguson Tupou and co they needed to clear a few good players. SBW will cost round 1mill per season.

When they let the players go they werent forcasting Pearces stupidity and Cordners injury

Its been a horror year.

In some good news Parra should be stripped of points next week
