I'm not against a slow build or 5 year plan. However, that is not what we are in the middle of. Rather, we have stumbled through a series of ad hoc decisions in order to go nowhere in 3 years. Any progress we have made and any hope fans have is due to the good fortune of having Couchmans, Egan, Stewart, Reed, and others come through the ranks. Just have to hope we don't discard these away like we did with Ford, Robson, and others.

Yep this wasn’t a planned outcome where we are at now, the Gutho and cook + Leilua were all knee jerk signings

Just lock our young guys in for as long as we can, retain the good ones and flog the dross. That’s a mantra for any club/GM can follow

Because he always panics and looks to buy a comfortable and recognisable name that he thinks can help him win the next game. Doesn't think long term at all.

Because he’s a terrible communicator and doesn’t know how to get on with young guys. Benji for all his faults is adored by the young kids at the tigers (apart from Galvin who’s shite and overrated)

I was in favour of signing Gutho (but not Cook or Leilua) but it seems like the wrong call now. He's struggling. Though if his halves were decent so he could play like a fullback rather than a 5/8 it would help. Also if his wingers weren't slow as a wet week.

It’s more than just him out the back of shape(which he’s dreadful in) but it’s also his kick returns. It’s such a big issue that never gets brought up. He poses no threat and his yardage carries etc are woeful

Fullbacks need to be able to punish teams with a poor kick chase and he can’t do it

He’s also no particularly great under the high ball despite the narrative that he’s safe as houses

The Cook one I was ambivalent, neither here nor there as long as the money wasn’t outrageous

The Leilua signing was just so obviously bad and the money being touted makes it even worse

A pure desperation signing, this coach was managing our list a few years ago ffs 🤦

I think Atkinson on 3 years 1.5 mil allegedly is the only Flanno signing that I thought was a slam dunk

I think Val is a good signing as well despite the big coin, he’s still actually good at rugby league

Slam dunk but if we’re 0-4 he’s first on the chopping block not his son

Webster is off contract with New Zealand at the end of 2028. He is looking like the best long term target right now. I would give Flanno to 2028 and be looking to replace him with Webster in 2029. But would he sign with us? He is looking like a very good coach. If we could get him, he would be worth the wait. I would imagine there would be numerous other clubs lining up for his signature, including Easts.
