I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8082.jpg |

For me its not just about getting players in but also about redressing the imbalance with the salary cap as in what we are paying and what we have. Its clear for all to see that the current squad should be under the cap by some way but due to poor management we have a group of players that are on deals that simply don't reflect how average they are. This is one of the main factors I think as to why we are so poor and in the mess we're as we have made a pigs ear of recruitment and retention along with inadequate back room staff.
So far the squad for 2025 whilst not being a top 4 side is for me certainly shaping up to be an improvement on this years squad, a more balanced and hard working squad. I also think Cartwright will be a significant addition as Coach and being fresh to SL.

I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

| Quote: Irregs#16 "So lets try and see if we can recap from the start of this season
For me, looking at that above, there is a fair bit of like-for-like and/or unknown quantity, which is understandable given where we are starting from. It's not like we can assemble a top-two squad in one fell swoop and all will be magically right.
We have to start somewhere and hopefully some of these incoming players will bring a different attitude and mind-set to proceedings which would go some way towards improving matters on the pitch.
The key though is Cartwright. Can he weld them into a cohesive unit which is prepared to put a shift in each week? If he can, then we should make some progress, in turn becoming a slightly more attractive proposition to other (higher quality) players and, hopefully, we can build on from there in 2026/27.
We all know this will take time to even clamber out of the deep trench we've dug for ourselves in recent times. No-one is expecting us to be uprooting trees next year, but a higher level of consistency will hopefully inject some much needed positivity into the club. I'm really hoping we are now at the bottom of the curve (heaven knows we simply cannot afford to fall much further, the result of which could be catastrophic).
Hoping next year's squad is the first steps back towards respectability, at the very least, but I reckon it may still be slow short steps for a little while at least. The only way is up from here, with everything crossed for better days ahead once more. Keep the faith(full).

Anyone who we are close to deal with now will be replacing Carlos. If we eventually negotiate a pay off for Okunbor then we’ll have another quota spot to sign someone further down the line. |

I like this Rimbu. I saw him play for PNG back end of last year and think I said at the time, slightly tongue in cheek, he could be our Ipape. He definitely looks the part and at 22 has a lot of improvement in him

Impressive stats in the Queensland Cup, been invited to the Dolphins by Wayne Bennett this pre-season bodes well also.

I have lost interest:fonds blancs/Sid.gif |

Where is all this cash coming from ??
When will the new Investor reveal himself or herself ?
We seem minted currently !
It’s a Renaissance Clearwater revival
Adam didn’t have any cash so I doubt he even controls the Club now !?
With Joe Cator rumoured to be leaving do we spend his wages on bumping up Jordan Lames ?
