2016/17 Squad Thread

[borat]

Couple of points:
1- hasnt the boss man said no marquees?
2- don't marquees need to meet certain FFA criteria? ( none of our current squad would do so)

The boss man also said he wants top 3 in what 2-3 years. The guy hasn't spent a cent and expects miracles

[plague]

Out of curiosity, who would be our two highest paid players? Pretty sure Boogs is one, the other?

Should be Duncan.

Apparently we were in the game at some stage:

We dominated the walk onto the field.

Can we get Vaughn Coveny as a short-term injury replacement then??:

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.

All this guy cares about is some free press in China

Our once great club has become a shambles, f***ing joke!
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!

Con:

Kevin Muscat will eventually be overcome with Kill-Boners and sign himself up as our new player/coach and we will be forced to look at either the front of his head for 90 mins and hate life or be blinded by the sunshine reflecting off the back of his head, AKA his 2nd asshole.

What a mess

[Grimario]

We apparently have Adam Hughes on trial or at least training with us.

Given he only has one leg, he can't be much worse than our other defenders who have one working, one injured.


(might have wrong Adam Hughes, so confused)

34, midfielder, been in China. Doesn't score goals. We'll sign him. Perfect for us. Give him overs for a has been.

With him, we're building for the future. Right. Right?

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

Besides, it doesn't make sense to sign another midfielder when we are well-stocked in that position.

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.

Or we can push them out. They're all cheap anyway. Just means we don't have $ under the cap.

I think the PFA would have a bit of a say if we tried to move them on forceably.

I'd suggest if it was a simple as just saying "here's your money, go away" the club would have already done it. There wouldn't have been an article in the Herald saying the club want them to leave, which exerpts pressure on the players by making the whole situation public.
