This should have been done in the off season. Miller wanted it done and now look where they are. It was obvious the depth in our squad was beyond bad and could cost us like it has.
I predicted at the start of the year that the club's around us had strengthened where we had not and we would come last. The only thing that has surprised me is what Miller was able to get out of the first XI. Another spoon is a lock.
Theyll still count towards salary capQuote:

Or we sign an actual quality for once
Out of curiosity, who would be our two highest paid players? Pretty sure Boogs is one, the other?Quote:

That sounds like a challenge the club may take on.Quote:

Pretty sure if they're all over third party deals then they will have second party ones well covered. Although at least if we lost all our points doing this we could claim we should have finished higher than lastQuote:

Pretty sure the "marquee" criteria is a thing of the past. They're essentially just "players outside the cap" now.Quote:

Could be and almost certainly am wrong.
Correct.Quote:

It's too late to wait until confidence is shot and everything has gone to sh*t. It should have happened pre-season.Quote:

David Lowe's two cents:
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/43...edown/?cs=3398
You know your team is struggling when the opposition coach says stuff like "jets fans really need to stick by their team in times like this"
What does that mean, times like what? We got a brand new rich owner, "times like this" were meant to be a thing of the past.
New owner, same old jets... yet again!
I have been a member since day 1, i am starting to find it really difficult to support the team but
At least previous owners talked a big game before getting our dreams crushed. Marquee players, glamour friendlies.Quote:

What else is Arnie going to do than stick up for his mate.
Can't wait to watch players leave and then return in another team to stick it up us.
Time for a new strategy...
Forget football, lets just go out every week with the explicit purpose of taking out at least one player (preferably more, bonus points for marquees) from the opposition team with a season ending injury.
I'm thinking two footed challenges, head butts, eye gouging, sack wacking, etc
Pros:
- the whole squad is eventually suspended on reds, we don't need to watch them mince around the field any more.
- the whole squad is eventually suspended on reds, we get to blood some youth.
- people will fear our team (rather than feel embarrassed for it).
- the term "mongrel" gets more use.
- memberships soar as the knights fans confuse jets home games as NRL matches.
- our position on the ladder wont get any worse.
Cons:
- none that i can think off
Make it happen people!

Don't believe he is here as a trial. Here retaining fitness.Quote:

And even then, we don't have a squad spot available so we can't sign him. We need to move someone on.
Pav, Brennan, Cooper. All going in Jan.Quote:
