So who would you sign?

[King Salvo]

Penrith are legit & aren’t on anything illegal. Sounds like sour grapes to me if people think that.
Did anyone say St George who won 11 comps in a row were on something or the great Parra & Canberra teams?
The Panthers are going through a golden era thanks to Gus’s five year plan which took 10 years.
If someone like Gus could run the Wests Tigers properly & fully relocate to the Macarthur area they could also be a powerhouse & so could the Warriors.

Penrith just work harder in games than other teams do across the 80 minutes week in and week out, which obviously is a reflection of the way they train and prepare for games.

Players are regularly tested as well

I’ve been saying this for a couple years, especially with how they tire teams down with their relentless fitness & not by beating them with finesse or exciting footy.

a bit of peptide powder mixed in their Powerade for endurance is easily down these days without the players even knowing.

I reckon the truth will come out eventually and this era will be tainted.

Mate they are on something for sure. May not be roids but there something not quite above board with that lot.

The steroid supplier at the riff.

That would be an excellent acquisition to the club

Pedriff assistant coach Wallace to replace Matt King.

That's a fair shout

He recently re-signed with them I think

Don't know his contractual obligations but Brian Kelly would be a handy acquisition. Just what we need with the Joey's departures !

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Anyone hear the rumours that St Merge don't want to resign Hunt now? Wouldn't mind him on about $800k for a couple of seasons.

[Easts75]

Gold Coast have a few surplus players. They’re stacked in the front row plus their backs are in abundance.

Id go for Jayden Campbell at 6. Indigine that can do it all

True mate.

We will have another end of season review and Robbo and the coaching staff need to be honest and address the chasm between us and the top 2 teams.

Last year the review saw Robbo admitting he made some mistakes and undertook to rejig our attack a bit to yield more points. Tick.

We need a harder edge and a tougher resilient mindset when the cubby house falls down. Have to build that through a varied system of training and preparation. Plan A hasn't quite worked.

You mean the top team Jack - Penrith didn't get out of third gear in the GF - Storm had no answers to the boa constrictor game of Penrith's and the score line flattered them in end - Penrith were more than a 8 point better side - Storm are allowed to jump the gun in D and regularly move up in D before the ball clears the ruck - Allowed to wrestle and what not as well to slow the play the ball down which is often not policed as well by the Ref's

It is not just about signing new players, it’s about the systems, structure and coaching as well. Look at Penrith and Melbourne, they don’t have teams full of superstars but are well coached and drilled to a system. We need to change our philosophy on what Roosters rugby is too challenge the top teams

Great post. This team has to learn: how to go for 80 minutes, win more games, or go down swinging. Not concede 48 for f%&$s sake in a prelim final.
