Recruitment & Retention 2027

Just on Holmes if I was the coach I would pull him aside and tell him to take a 3 week break from it all , go away come back fresh and with a clear head ....... Something is not right with him ........

I'd give him a couple of weeks in reserve grade but not a 3 week break. He's on about 1mil a year!

He is playing injured from all reports, so a break would be better than running around KOE cup, we are so short of quality depth that guys like Gutho, Holmes and probably a few more have to back up week in week out, this is what you call a cluster f*ck of recruitment by Incompetent clowns..

If he's playing injured, I agree.

Ai Gutho can barely run and is on 1 leg... I think Val has a shoulder and some sort of injury effecting his speed..

In an ideal world they are being rested, but thats how dire our depth is right now... I do wish the club was more public with this stuff so fans could appreciate what they are putting their bodies through so we can field a side each weekend... rather than bag them.... but I get it.... maybe not wanting to share that info with the opposition..

I think back to Flanno days and I hated how he would play CT either injured or fresh off an injury.. but the frustration was because we actually had fit kids like SFinau and perhaps Tamale before him begging for opportunity.. and even a few others that were passable (we had a lot of wingers for a while there).. this is different now.. we're very very lean 1 through 7... the halves situation isnt rly our fault though, 2 longterm injuries to Reed and Hammoud, the outside backs is our fault cause although maybe Heidke, Williams and Lyric could have been pushing.. we ultimately are missing 2-3 more gun outside backs in cup applying pressure.. we now have either flegg kids like Toby or Kirk... or more nsw cup standard players like TPH, Lawson, Afu.. this has been a hole for ages..

Nah don't agree it will make it worse , needs to get away from it all ....... As I have said before something is not right with him put him in reserve grade and he may jump off the gap .......
