Garry is not the same CEO that he was he could find decent players and entice big names to the club Furness Anderson carol buderis iro blackmoor kemp cliff Lyons glanville schofield crooks Hanley duneman many more with the money from the Wembleys grand finals wcc the elusive treble and the massive season ticket sales etc we seem to invest less and less in playing staff we can get away with a few cheap cap players but not the majority definite change in tack from gh to his early days it's not all down to the cap we've had that now.

He did alright in 2016, signing both Ferres and Segeyaro and while some were declaring that all he cared about was selling t-shirts and chicken nuggets on match day, he's quietly and quickly gone on to sign an exciting looking (and probably not cheap) replacement for Chicko.

fair points. but he's also let too many players go on to long, they are no longer either reliable or good enough. it was there to see for all, or those who wanted to see, last season. nothing has changed. no decent kicker, either in game or at goal, no leaders, no quality half back or full back. its easy to do things on the cheap when you have a spine of quality players who are also leaders. when they have gone you need to rebuild. you strengthen while on top. the rhinos havn't and I see a few seasons of turbelance ahead, I just pray we don't do a Bradford because I can see us struggling massively. the spine is weak and rudderless. that's the issue

Agreed, this is what troubles me most, the writing was on the wall, the only ones who failed to see it were those who had the power to do something about it.

partly its true though. how many average championship players have we signed in the last two seasons? and while you won't get the top class aussies he does seem to have rested on his laurels and brought in average players for quite a while
