Re. Livett. I spoke to guy in pub not long after Harvey left, who claimed to be his dad. Asked him why he'd left, in a nutshell said he never stood a chance under Price as he had no faith in the kids. Given Powell's rep for bringing the best out of average players, maybe not such a bad idea?

Ese'ese would have probably just turned into a pudding if he'd come to Wire - it's just what too often happens here (with the occasional noble exception). Imagine if we'd missed out on Sam Kasiano. Everyone would have been saying "Oh no, we had the chance to sign Kasiano!", but when we actually did sign him, he just faded away into being another under-achiever who was blowing out of his backside after five minutes.

Nothing surprises me at this club anymore. We are a circus. Having heard what Musgrove had done it's no wonder he has been sacked. This is a bloke who had numerous convictions for assault before we signed him, yet we still proceeded to sign him, do we ever learn?


I can't believe there has been no club statement yet to ease fans fears over the incident. I was told about this incident on Monday yet here we are five days later and absolute silence from the club.


I thought I'd list some of the dud signings we've made over the last few years:-


Greg Inglis, Alfie Johnson, Peter Mata'utia, Ben Pomeroy, Anthony Gelling, Chris Sandow, Tyrone Roberts, Zane Musgrove, Brad Dwyer, Leilani Latu, Kyle Amor, Dan Russell, Luther Burrell, Billy Magoulias, Josh McGuire, Roy Asotasi, Lama Tasi, Welsey Bruines, Oliver Holmes, Greg Minikin, Gil Dudson, Mitch Brown, Bodene Thompson, Samy Kibula, Keanan Brand, Gary Wheeler, Ryan Bailey, Matty Blythe, Matty Smith, Mitchell Dodds, Dom Crosby, Rob Butler, Sam Kasiano. 


There's probably more I've missed.

That was quite emotional reading that list.  

I quite liked Bodene Thompson but it is quite a list & some pretty poor signings.

I heard some whisper about a weapon involved. Shocking if true. He's a wrong 'un as even a basic search on the web will attest. 

That recruitment list is so telling. We have made some standout signings : Ashton, Vaughan, Walker and some decent ones like Tai, Yates etc but they are very few and far between. 


Then we get this type of crap from the chief clown himself crowing to the press


"The big things we looked at are character and leadership qualities. Were the new players aligned with the culture we want to create? The first thing was, ‘What’s their character like?’ We’re seeing that".    We then sign grubs like McGuire and Musgrove. 



RE managing the PR, the club are always behind the ball. I understand a disciplinary process may be underway but a place holder statement could have been released before we have to read about it in the RL press, Facebook and on here. 

Circus - great description and it starts at the very top.
