Satan - blame me not the coach and only one pick mid season

Post: # 1904050Post MC Gusto »

Thought lethers words were a bit better than the prez. Still just words but a clearer articulation of the matter

What has me gobsmacked is he suggested we’d only use one pick (if that) mid season

I just would’ve thought with everything that went on last year, combined with our lowly ladder position, this mid season draft offered a real opportunity to find some talent that was overlooked

Even if it doesn’t, what is the risk / loss? Surely worth a crack??

Do we have salary cap issues?
Why else would we willingly short list ourselves?

Surely 3 or 4 rookies for 6 months wouldnt effect the salary cap. Its probably more likely the fees they have to pay the clubs the kids are recruited from. Even so thats bare bones stuff for a professional club, when they cant afford to recruit players who are the core of the business that everything else is linked to.

If they only take one pick at this draft I am done. I cant continue to financially support a club that is this poorly run!

Maybe the club has plans for it's vacant list spots, plus the spots made available from the vast delistings at the end of the 2021 season, that don't involve any or many
of the players that have nominated for the June 2 Rookie draft.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Lethlean's words were no better than Bassett's. Especially there being no problem with recruiting or game plan. Nothing to see here.

Marshall on the bench? 😂
He’s probably our most important player!

Might be a reason why leffers said we may only take one pick.

"Greater Western Sydney has a selection but is still tossing up whether to invest $50,000 into a player it will sign for six months."
