Message: [QUOTE="Pigskin, post: 2477629, member: 1858"] All need to remember that the cap is getting bigger than it ever has been. The figures bandied around are rising with the times. I assume Hodgo is still somewhere around the 300k mark, and it does seem absurd that Norman would get considerably more at this point. But its just the state of the game currently. What do I want to see ? 1. My team start the season showing us what they have worked on in the long off-season. A move or two. Something different in attack. We beat the Dragons, but they are gonna run 15th. 2. The following on field changes - *Glenn made captain immediately. Sam is not a captain. He is not a front rower for that matter. *Norman to left centre for an extended period. I seem to remember him playing a few games there and looking ok. *Hunt to a new club. *Wallace turned into a hooker slowly. And this year is a good time to start while Prince is here. *Gillett to the bench permanently. *Reed to the backrow. *Timu given a shot off the bench now. Limited minutes to start. Unless he or Hala come good semi immediately, we are a decent big man short in my view. And this was before Maguire went down. Anderson is rubbish. 3. We pretty much have to take a punt on Dugan. He is exactly the type of player we need on the footy side of things. Can bust the line and has good pace. Like all, i wish his attitude didn't suck. But back ended contract and strict clauses on behaviour. Also, make him shave. Can we make him wear arm sleeves ? He could play for us for 10 years if we get his head right. He could play a lot of origin etc in that time. Within 3 years of good behaviour be a big star in Brisbane and get all the benefits. 4. Failing this. We do need to enter the player market. Over estimating the ability in our crop of players coming through is not so bad and can happen. But not recognising the fact and persevering with all of them is. 5. I don't know if Hook is that bad and don't necessarily want him fired. I do think we can now see that he is no super coach however. The coach is not counted toward the cap. For soooo long we have been told how successful and wealthy our club is. Never in financial difficulty. A rival for the biggest clubs of any code in the country. Although many around here disagreed with me at the time, we should have thrown whatever it took to get Bellamy some years back. Pre-Henjak I think it was. Its too late for him now as he talks of retirement and is more than settled and signed up. But ffs spend up on the coach if the occasion presents itself. Get the best in the business. Cheers Oink !
