Yeah, I've blocked him and deleted the posts. I'm getting enough shit for derailing threads over stuff I said without being drawn into a flame war about stuff I didn't say.

Not really just a fan of people knowing what they’re talking about. After reading page apage of how smart he is but seeing no evidence, it’s exhausting.
You know why I don’t talk about the Russian revolution? I don’t know anything about it.
Might be something in that.

No, I don’t mean that. This is a long term thing with you, before billy was even a name in rugby league. I don’t like to make it personal but glass houses and all mate….

Genuine question - what do you think Kev should have done about the hooker issue when he became coach?

I want to be very clear on this: no one here is advocating for any specific player. It's that we aren't buying into this nonsense that in the course of the three years we had no other options.
I am absolutely not arguing we should have signed any of these individuals, but names such as Edwin Ipape, Api Koroisau, Sam Verrills, Brandon Smith, Reece Robson and Reed Mahoney have come onto the market during Kevvie's tenure. We wouldn't even keep Danny Levi on minimum wage. That's off the top of my head.
Even Adam Reynolds has a first class challenger in the top 30. Somehow the coach's son doesn't. It's hard to look at that scenario without blinking a bit.
Had we finished the season on a high we might be having a very different conversation. I can't speak for everyone, but I know I would not like to continue along the trajectory we were on at the end of the season.

I dunno. Lockyer?

I'm not aware of them chasing any hookers. Or if they did they managed to keep it quiet. Darren Lockyer alluded to us going after one at the end of the season. Maybe it was Tyson Smoothy.

I think I read he rejected interest from a few clubs including us.

Y'know something? I think you're right.
That seems to contradict the narrative some seem to be running with in this thread...

“There was interest in Reece. Specifically, St George, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Canberra,” his agent told News from the UK.
