He is a far more natural ball player than Jack Wighton.
Great news if he has agreed to an extension.

GreenMachine

It's a glimpse into our future.....we need to be patient regardless of the result.
Still see hooker as the weak point and a MUST in terms of finding the long term solution....

GreenMachine

Slowly but surely, we will drift towards where I thought we would end up this season - bottom 4...

We're just not that good a team (personnel wise) and we have horrible coaching and recruitment and retention.

But our poker machines have never been healthier...

GreenMachine

Imagine the only complaint our football club had over the game was the shark's trainer and not the abysmal football we play....

GreenMachine

Levi is poor and the fact we have settled for him tells you all you need to know about our ambitions as a Poker machine club running a football team as a side hustle..

GreenMachine

Tigers will win a premiership before we do if Ricky is still coaching us for another contract term..

GreenMachine

Lmao...
Did people seriously think we were anything other than a bottom 4 side this year?

GreenMachine

Horse and Mooney should be in the team (bench).

Whitehead should be dropped...i don't understand how he is ahead of Hosking or anyone else in that forward pack to be honest...

But yeah, our coach will never.

GreenMachine

Not the first time Ricky picks a captain not fit for first grade...
Seems like he's always a year or two behind on captain selections .....wait...team selections in general.

Mind boggling really and we will probably be punished for it come Friday arvo...

GreenMachine

Gee this place is ridiculous. Why are we going so well to start the season? Because the club, and it's staff, knows what it's doing. People crying over a team list named on a Tuesday. Trust the process. Blaming Ricky for a team named on a Tuesday like he has just dropped a premiership. 1. It's unli...

Change a winning team for what? Loyalty? ****...

GreenMachine

I can't believe people around here are entertaining the idea of Whitehead back into the team.....tell me you know nothing about football without telling me.

GreenMachine

All this talk about "game plan"....
We have a game plan?

GreenMachine

what premature ejaculation looks like as a thread...

lock us in for a spanking....

And Whitewash was only benched due to a 'calf injury'...which probably means another one of our new signings wouldn't have made the 17...

This season has 'long' written all over it...

GreenMachine

We can't beat the Knights when we're flying, so I fully expect us to get trounced...

GreenMachine

We are far from the best packs in the comp...
The best packs can defend AND attack with discipline...
And "grindball" ended my Kayo subscription...will only catch the free to air games and follow from a distance online...
Sadly, Ricky has killed my joy for the game.

GreenMachine

Penrith have won 3 premierships in a row and whilst they’re a very good defensive unit, they’re also a team capable of putting on 3 tries in 17 minutes on 2nd best defensive unit in the league You have to have more tools in the toolbox to win than just grind. And the cattle argument is just rubbish...

GreenMachine

We're bottom 3 comfortably this season with Ricky as coach and this squad.
A better coach could have us run 9th to 10th IMO....

GreenMachine

going to be a long season...and I don't mean playing finals.

GreenMachine

dodged a bullet with this one...thank God.
Ricky can't get out of his own way...

Exactly.
Average overpaid plodder IMO...

GreenMachine

Everyone is an expert with hindsight. Coaches don't have that luxury. The team as a whole will be better for last season imo. It's been acknowledged our attack needs to be addressed in a major way, along with our defence. I don't think anyone was happy with the way we played. However, we did win ga...

GreenMachine

Last time I checked we won more games than we lost and made the finals. It's easy to criticise but we finished higher than teams with much better rosters. You should be happy with that. We beat Souths, Parramatta, Manly and the Cowboys. All supposed elite teams. Whatever happened with Savage is irr...

GreenMachine

Geez we love the bottom of the barrel...

GreenMachine

So we signed a Nobody to cover...well... Nobody when you look at our 'defence' from last season.
Great.

GreenMachine

Ill believe it when I see it...

GreenMachine

Great, another Potato to add to the meh quality recruitment process....

GreenMachine

Awesome, let's try this **** a third time....

GreenMachine

Jeez our recruitment is diabolical..

GreenMachine

These are essentially the transactions we've made going into 24: Croker - Morkos Frawley - Weekes Schnieder - Strange Valemei - Sasagi Webb - Smithies, Puru Wighton - Stewart, Asomua We still have substantial $ left after these transactions to make a significant play. Which we are very clearly tryi...

we just don't need him. It is as if the Club is just happy for anyone to sign regardless of whether they solve a problem for the team.

Well we are a loser club

Yep...a spade a spade.

GreenMachine

Josh Reynolds (who played against Smithies) spoke of him this morning on the Big Sports Breakfast. Stated he was a real goer, tough and loves the niggle. Said raiders fans should be excited and sees him being a success given his work ethic and toughness. super excited for more niggle, grind and pen...
