You’re becoming a quite sensible poster this past week.
Well done.

Bobness , think you need to cut back on the cider

So much for the recruitment isnt finished yet brigade
With a team next season of over the hill plodders i would say the club is heading for a reality check when they see the pick up of passes for next season

You really have to wonder if this investor who we know has links to Leeds deliberately put his son in law in charge of recruitment, to pull in all the bang average players he can find then pull out of the deal knowing the fans will react by not renewing passes leaving Adam to ponder whether to soldier on or write off most of the loans so the club becomes more interesting to an investor.
Cunning plan or not?

Whatever the thinking is I’m going to walk away from the club because of this recruitment for me it’s worse than 2024. If we are really in such financial trouble (as it appears we are) I’d rather they chanced their arm to get out of it. Signing unknowns with ‘supposed’ potential was a disaster in 24, but now we have a DOR who played the game and an Aussie coach with huge experience and contacts. I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the Stewart and Rimbu moves but there was that little bit of excitement there and potential to be an exciting watch with those type of players. We’ve now committed ourselves to no hopers, and for 2 and 3 years at that. Even if the financial situation somehow changes for we’ll be hampered by the contracts we’ve already given out. We can also finally close the chapter on recruitment ‘so far’ as it’s done now. There’s nothing left on the domestic market and we don’t have quota places to make a difference if something comes up in Aus.

Jordan Rapana supposedly signed on 2 year deal.

Rapana is a much better signing

Jordan Rapana now linked...... are we opening up a retirement village

I'm never anything but sensible. Glad you're slightly aligned though

I think theres a lot of over reaction going on here. We all know we're a basket case of a club, we all know we're struggling to sign decent players and we've already got plenty of youth at the club.already, what we needed was experience and we've signed it. I think we'll be around 8th next year with this team which will be an Improvement - I don't want to do a Dan Tomlinsonesque roll call of everyone we've signed but there's some decent players in there and don't forget we've got a new coach who's big on fitness coming in, a better backroom, better training facilities. We will 100% be better than this year imo

Fook me, a 35 year old winger when we're crying out for a centre

Surely Rapana will play full back?

He’s a big name, fans fave and a Canberra legend. 35, but still playing every week, scoring tries and kicking goals. Canberra offered one year, Leeds two. He’s surely good enough for us?!

Rapana would be huge for the development of Moy, Martin, Barron.
Still performing well at the top level. Age is obviously a concern but he's about as big a name as we could possibly hope to sign.
We really need a top centre and not sure if he has ever played there though. This would look to me like Walker is leaving as rumoured and Rapana to full back with Moy as cover. Hardaker and Chamberlain centres with Westerman trying to breakthrough and also potentially Litten targeting a centre spot rather than full back.
