Pretty much confirms Gutho is done, he can’t play at the NRL level anymore

Allegedly Their about to sign a soon to be 29 YO fullback on a 3 or 4 year deal

It’s all very reactionary/knee jerk/scattergun whatever you want to call it
No way, not another old guy on a long term contract like Gutho and Sami.

Very confused now if we have signed Drinkwater or not.. Fuller for 2yrs I thought was a good get, not sure hes gonna come for like a 5mth contract..

Nth Qld had a young player named Jaxon Purdue who looked pretty good tonight. I don't think he is officially signed for next year yet. I would offer him a million dollar long term contract to play fullback for us. He could even play 5/8 if Burton lives up to hopes and expectations.

If we have signed Drinkwater, I expect Nth Qld to play Purdue at fullback next year. He was said to be close to signing re-signing with them for a reported 750K a year for a number of years. If they get that deal done, they have got themselves a bargain. With Deadon on a reported 750K a year as well, they will have 2 of their spine positions covered with top shelf players for relative cheap prices. Great cap management on their part. I would love to have them 2 in our team for that money. I know some of you don't rate Purdue. lol

Part of why I want a rookie coach is recruitment wise they don’t have all the juice and power to say to walk all over Ando

Think they’ll be receptive and very open to logic and reason and take Ando’s word for lots of player evaluations

More established coaches can have an ego and might want more power like Flanno currently has

It’s not the 90’s anymore, player development/recruitment/retention is so different and on a much bigger scale

A head coach can’t do it all like they used to, allow the new head coach to just manage the footy team on the field

Watsford and the rest of the staff need to step up because this all trickles down from the top

It’s not that the forum don’t rate Purdue, we’re just sick of hearing you froth about him in every comment on every topic. Like your other fascinations, we get it, but clearly you continue to flog a dead horse. LOL
