I get a sense you are closely connected to the group in some way....Or to Webster - Are you Andrew Webster?
Or are you a journo?
Anyway, welcome to the forum, I'm glad you found us 5 minutes after we were beaten by 60! :LOL:
I don't think there was much to be gained by announcing mass changes today.
All that would have achieved is a weeks worth of columns and interviews etc
I've still got hope a few of those reserves will find their way into the 17 by game day.
I can't think of any organisation that would be humming if those at the bottom working their backsides off don't get the rewards they deserve.
At the moment, if you're a high performing reserve grader at the Warriors, it's almost impossible to break into the team of Dads army.
If you do...
This is a highly underrated comment.
Thurston in his final year looked every bit of a trudging reserve grade half that got his bits and pieces chances every so often. It was hard to watch.
I don't think SJ is quite at that level but you have to think he's only going one way.
We've derailed this thread a bit.
But to keep on track - TMM is likely named at 7 this week considering the injury reports to SJ.
No way can he be selected if not fit.
So, if TMM goes out and hits a bunch of try assists in a win this week - SJ might have played his last game.
That's quite...
That's just a nice cuddly way of saying he has to play for his extension which he won't do.
He is a legend, and my hope is that he doesn't tarnish his legacy by tossing his toys out of the cot (again..).
It absolutely kills me to say it...
But there is nothing difficult about the decision that needs to be made.
Would not be surprised if it has been made and communicated already...
which is what exactly? Newshub reporting from a James Hooper fox sports article?
Roosters never offered him a deal, they discussed what a deal might need to be, but was never tabled to him.
And again, the club have not announced his extension (unless I missed it).
So at this point, there...
Unless I've missed something...
Multiple people have been posting that SJ has been extended.
I don't recall anything from the club confirming that.
In fact, his lack of extension by now could be contributing to his form. By all means, an extension seemed close but you would have to think...
Hard to read too much into attacking stats in a game like that.
He can't make runs when others cough up the ball. Can't make too many metres standing under the posts 11 times too!
Yes - from an analysis point of view we were middle of the pack.
Can't deny the vibes though which is what life is all about.
But, too many people thought the logical next step from 2023 was a Premiership.
My early season prediction was that if we finished 6th it should be considered a...
Personally, I think 2023 has wrongly been put on a pedestal.
Our record in 2023 against Penrith, Storm, Roosters, Broncos, Rabbitohs was 0 wins, 8 losses.
Our end of season winning run included many turgid performances against crap teams.
Ultimately, we were blown off the park in the Grand...
