Shartstragics doom and gloom.
He really is TRAGIC
Feel like loading up and giving him BOTH barrels.
47 years I've been on board and will be forever.
We will survive and eventually prosper and that day when we win the comp.
Everything will be magnified. Savoring the journey we trod to eventually concur.
Just don't nead to read DOOM and GLOOM
Give me both barrels you douche. I've been supporting this club almost as long as I you claim to.
At least I can articulate and type correctly. You sound like an 11 year old virgin stuck in his parents basement.
Good on you clown .

Past tense and a past participle of tread.

issue is we will try to lure Lui from cowboys now and his an offender himself.....I'd be going for Isreal Folau ($1m plus) and Matt Cornish (cheaper) otherwise throw everything we have at Cherry Evans.

Don't want Folau as he would switch codes after a year, we need someone who'll be at the club long term.

Question is, do we throw 800,000-900,000 at Cherry Evans, or do we look at signing Reynolds (450K) and Hunt (350k)?

I'd go the latter as that would solve both out halfs and five eight woes.

1. Holmes

6. Hunt
7. Reynolds

9. Ennis

14. Brown

That's a pretty damn good spine if you asked me.

Think your dreaming if u believe we could get Reynolds or hunt here on $450 and $350..personally don't think either will leave their clubs but we need to be well over their market value, if Bennett goes to the broncos next year no way hunt will leave.

Funny seeing these names chucked up, which of them are actually off contract for next season ?

1) DCE
2) Hunt
3) Reynolds

I thought it might be hunt but that was it ???

Also any other good halfs (even good juniors) off contract that anyone knows of ?

Reynolds has been told by souths that he can look elsewhere.

far out that would be a major win if we got Reynolds, why would they let him go?

Also what are people thoughts on Penani, in regards to potential ?

Time to move on from Carney and we have plenty of cash to do it. Here is what we should do. As we will have trouble attracting stars we will need to be clever with our recruitment. Probably time to start a complete rebuild of our aging squad. I would be searching far and wide for young talent. There are not really any good halves on the market for next year, but 2016 has a few so I would probably go for two young halves and take the hit. Brown will be one, but we will probably have Robson next year, unless we can lure Luke Walsh back from SL. Here are the players I would go for next year:
Josh Maguire, Dale Copley, Matt Duffie, John Folau, Eto Nabuli, Bodene Thompson and then look for some talented young kids.

I would really be looking closely at the QLD cup for a half. There is bound to be a hidden gem in there somewhere. If we want to break that premiership drought, we need to stop with the desperate signings. We should never have been even looking at Benji, it reeked of desperation. Penrith have shown the way with their rebuild. Clever recruiting to supplement talented juniors. Of course we can't compete with their junior base, but we can be clever. We need to expect to miss the finals for a few years with a young talented squad and build something special. Gallen will not win a premiership with this squad, but he can help a talented young squad become better, quicker. Thoughts?

Oh.. and Wade Graham is average at best. Not sure what the club sees in him.

A fair bit of sense here. Throwing massive coin at an established half is not the silver bullet that we wold like it to be. The club needs to address the many issues in squad and be smart in recruiting. We are not an attractive proposition to players with options. We need to be targeting players who are looking for opportunity because it is really about all we offer.

I've wanted to see Brown/ Penani combo for a while (when TC and Robbo both injured) and suggested this a number of times.

I think we need to see how they go, cos Holdsworth just doesn't do it for me.
