Couldn't agree more !!!!!

It's pretty obvious what our pack needs but between Peter Blunt and Agar, they have given contracts to Radford, King and Dowes for next season, and now they're even talking about Cusack's new contract !!

It totally baffles me !!!

Agreed, when it was revealed that we had started talks with Cusack about a new contract my jaw hit the floor.

Because he is the only go forward we offer? He will vastly improve with Hame playing

It seems that we prefer forwards who work hard without actually doing what they're supposed to.

Graham Cayliss Fasav'lau (sp) Puletua etc..

Ryles Carlaw Ferriol Fakir Croker etc..

Morley Carvell Rauhihi Wood etc..

Peacock Leului Lautiti etc..

Cusack Dowes Radford King ??? Thackray and Manu are our only forwards with any go-forward ability at all.

Someone needs to grow a pair of b0ll0cks and get rid of most of the $hite that is in our pack.

Think you could add Vella, Fozzard, Newton and Galea to that list, far better than we have.

did anyone see NQ cowboys against souths this morn? the cowboys had 2 big ruff buggers up front, scott & tronc, not big names but big hard foookers backed up by o'donnell (who squared upto crocker btw) and a kid called bolton? theres plenty of talent around,not big names, just blokes you need when the goin gets ruff and mongrel the opposition.

our problem is we have no contacts in oz who watch these type of players week in week out in the NRL, we sign blokes who come for their payday as its the easy option. the last kid we signed who was a no namer was probably colin best at the time.

Well said. Absolutely spot on in my opinion.

Peter Sharp did name Jamie Soward as a potential signing back in 2007.

Now how good would that have been?

yes i remember, why didnt we sign him? probably because kath and co had never heard of him???

Probably because we got Matty Head instead. A great short term signing but Soward could have been the long term answer for sure. I think he was on the fringe of first team at the Roosters at the time.

top post, agree completely, Dowes, Radford, IMO are not good enough, and should be released at the end of the season

Have to agree the players seem to have a rest when they get tackled rather than getting a quick PTB which always puts us on the back foot

And backed up by Webb also .

our pack contains to many plodders and until we change where going to still have half backs that can't operate at there full potential, we get dominated in every tackle turned onto our backs so were like upside down turtles resulting in slow play the balls, you watch the likes of leeds saints wigan wire and there forwards are on there knees when tackle is complete ready for a quick play the ball, additionally a few of our forwards just have no leg drive at all they hit the 1st man and go down like a sack of sh*t.
Until we get some nasty bast*rds in our pack we won't dominate games.
