Everything bad that has happened to this club is as a result of Flanno's negligence. We wouldn't be in this mess had he taken Doc seriously and made the appropriate moves. If the club is smart they won't be renewing his contract.

We have no control over ASADA and when they deliver their conclusions. But we can make a fresh start with a new coach and without excess baggage. It will provide a degree of certainty for players and supporters.

Speaking of which, when are they going to ping these 4 players. :rolleyes:

This public farce has gone on long enough.

Try telling the media that.

I don't particularly rate ayshford but I'm not death riding him in the last. He made a nice break during the doggies game - more than what many of the other players did. But IDG has had over 2 years to prove himself and hasn't.

In that case we're ****ed.

Even with our window for a premiership seemingly being slammed shut, and the loss of Fifata and lichaa I'd still be happy if, at the end of the season, we have a new coach, ASADA is done and dusted (even if it means a couple players being suspended), and the board start getting their **** together (player signings/re-signings, membership, sponsorship).

There's always next season - but not as long as that clown is still involved with the club.

its funny isn't it... if people didn't try and save him 12 months ago then this stuff would already be done and dusted..

maybe some people have foresight... and others just have foreskin on their foreheads

DeGois has played all of one game this year and it wasn't bad. How bout we give people a ****ing chance. Same with Ayshford etc.
I'm calling for no ones head but his. He was a handbrake all of last year, and nothing's changed. My judgement is on his form over a year and a bit.

All up in your pixels
Next year is next year. I'm more concerned about winning now. If players want to leave for another club, fine, that's their prerogative. Until then they're wearing the black white and blue, and if they're half the players they think they are, I want them to bleed those colours for the remainder of 2014.

It's frustrating as hell, but it's all part of the game. I'm done pitying us; it's time to bite back and show that sharks teeth hurt a whole lot more than a dog's.

Does anyone think emailing the club would help? Letting them know how disappointing it is to have no local juniors in our team. That we seem to constantly loose our juniors and that we as members deserve to know the reason. Come out and say they wanted to retain him but he was asking too much etc. Do you think the club realises members are disappointed?

Jesus butt****ing Christ.

He Peachey, Bukuya, even Frizell and the rest would of been offered contracts, I can promise you!

It's not out fault if they **** off somewhere else, for more money then we are willing to pay. I actually like our don't pay overs recruitment policies. Get over it.

You lot go on like we just said "we don't want you, bye". You can't be that stupid.

Unpopular view, but I'm happy to bring idg back in for lichaa, if he has signed elsewhere.... No need to blood him unless we want to thrash him like a hire car then he will be broken when we give him to the bulldogs....love signing players from under the noses of other clubs, quite annoyed when it happens to us.... Not convinced he has only just signed rekon this deal was brokered long ago... Later enjoy being stuck behind Ennis

Agree, if he gone,no favors needed,leave him in reserves,give someone else a go instead.

I think we do pay overs.... Luke Lewis, Chris Heighington, Michael Gordon.......

We need to look at some sort of retention strategy, if these clubs can see value in virtually unproven players than why can't we?? Every club has the same cap space however we seem to be the graveyard of the NRL at the moment.... Of Peachey, lichaa, frizell, fifita we should have been able to retain atleast two....

If we held onto peachey we wouldnt have prior
If we blooded lichaa last year de gois would be in a parra jersey. (These two, i admit are better situations)
If we re-signed frizz we wouldnt have teeso or lewy.
If the poaching of youngsters never existed we never would have seen gallen in a sharks jersey. Im reserving my judgement on this decision until we finish the season and we have a chance to possibly, hopefully, sign some first grade players.
