Re: 2023 in review - Jack Wighton

Nowhere near worth what he was paid. In fact, except for 2 maybe 3 seasons, he's been paid either on potential or as reward for past glories. Happy to see him move on. Another few years of trying to manage the team's performance around Jack's deficiencies would have been depressing.

Decent backup. Normally goes alright for first 1 or 2 games then gets found out by opposition and his limitations in attack and defence get exposed.

Re: 2023 NRL Grand Final: Teams and Game Day

Cleary's performance was the level I'd expect to see when needed by a million dollar plus player. He delivered when it mattered.

If you're not able to do that, your club is stupid paying that much.

Re: Through green eyes 2023

The thing with the men's team stats is that we could have (should have?) finished around 10th-14th with them. And I suspect 8 or 9 times out of 10, we would. This year was an outrider, statistically.

Re: Coaching issues

I'm inclined to think the club should get some PR flunky to do the post match press conferences. For one, it would be less embarrassing for the club. Second, it would have the added advantage of having someone talking who might have a clue about fixing whatever the problems are with the team.

the best 2nd row prospect is Jack, by far. His running game and defense will be just as effective on an edge, and Jack has been stinking it up otherwise.
