The team needs to start from scratch

[Rocky Rhodes]

I raise you a Toddy Byrne and a CrissCrosseyed my man.

But I agree with your point, it's not all about breeding.

For us we badly need a few experienced classy players with that something we lack, the key.

Baloneys a start, $BW would be great, I'd take a Mozz for a year and it would be great to snag a classy FB IMO.

I raise and see you with Paul Green and Chad Robinson, two more brought not bred.

Point is all our success in our history has come off the back of key astute signings. Look at the 74/75 squads as well.

This youth ONLY policy is just a politis pipedream. The Mason mistake has scared poor nick for life. Buy but buy smart.

Under the youth policy we have achieved nothing yet and they are starting to ripe us apart already (eg. JWH).

[bondi-boy]

Buy better players - shock horror. If you think buying better players will solve the problems with this club you are dumber than I thought.

The Chairman makes recruitment decisions.
The football club is run as a personal fiefdom.
The board is a farking club of cock strokers.
The coach can't get rid of the dead wood because those "marquee" players have a direct line to said chairman.
The CEO is a powerless figurehead.
The players know there are double standards within the club culture in that some players are held accountable for performances and some aren't.
We have a recruitment manager, 3 NRL coaches, and a host of ex players on the staff.
As a club we have no ethos for success.
We have lost our ruthlessness.
We reside in party central of Sydney's East and that party culture is well and truly part of this club.

And we've been doing the same "buy better players" dance for THREE FARKING DECADES for one GF win and you want us to resume that? There is far more wrong with this club than buying better players will solve.

Chook.

You left out "The NRL, or is it the ARL these days?, and the referees seems to hate us bigtime."

[Rocky Rhodes]

I'll explain it to you in simpler terms, you are after all Rocky Rhodes and words with more than 2 syllables confuse you I know.

We had Fittler for more years than the one GF and WCC win and we didn't win anything in those years. Do you get it now?

Chook.

Just post normally oh great clueless one...your posts already show you to be a simpleton.

lol COP OUT. You clearly said we won FA in the fittler years (that includes 02/03). I'll let the reader decide and pronounce you lord Goose.

You had my attention until you mentioned leaving Braith in the halves combo.

I put him there because I honestly believe he is the best at that position that we have & because he is captain he will be in the team & I just dont think backrow is the position to play him.

Next year I would have Mortimer or Mark Kheirallah at 1/2 with Maloney at 5/8.

If we have to have him in the team, throw him in at lock. he can tackle when he puts his mind to it.
He was shite in the 2nd row because he cracked them at not being allowed to play his fave spot (5/8). He spat the dummy & played accordingly.

Agreed on Morts or Kheirallah.

I'm all in with a Wade Humphries, Mark Mini, Kylie Luelai, Gorrge Azzi, Mark Leafa, shit googles great.

I agree again though, buy but buy smart. I believe we are trying to do that for next season. That's what I was trying to convince Coggy of. We don't need to change everyone, we need a few key signings, we get it right we will be very competitive IMO.

We are on the way with Maloney. He at least looks like a footballer. Throw in $BW and a good fullback and we are just about there.

Then again it will take SKD five more seasons to number up in defence and JWH four more seasons to concede less than three penalties per game.

By that stage we'll have no liver or brain cells left so we won't be able to remember it.

I looked in the mirror last night & thought the same.

Sorry but none of these guys were key members of our 02 squad.

kool. We are almost on the same page then. IMO we need SBW, Maloney, an established FB and perhaps an established class winger for 2013. Then in 2014 we add a couple more to fill needs.

P.S - and Morley in a J Ryles type role.

George Azzi...LOL.

He came from the bench in Flegg to first grade when we had a thousand out against the Cheats. He actually beat the first defender every hit up.

LOL, who said we have any liver or brain cells anyway maaaaaate.

But yeah we are getting there IMO too. Shame it's for next year but still you never know this years far from over and miracles have happened before, I read that in the Bible.

Bullshit Stacy.

Nose too close to your arse again AfricanArseMonkey???

Lol, I just found all the biggies who debuted that season mate. No-one said I couldn't bluff in poker.

Yep we are in agreeance, is that even a word??? I could live with $BW, Baloney, a FB or a winger and Mozz. I reckon one of the wonder kids could play on the wing, some of them are quite athletic and couldn't defend worse than SKiDmark.

[stsae]

George Azzi...LOL.

LOL, What ended up happening to him mate???

I wonder if The Mack knows???

Anyone???

Bueller???

Fry???
