To the top team. Cleary sees it, we apparently don't value it as much.Losing garner hurts.

Probably wouldn't be a bad move.By all reports Trent is an amazing number 2 but he just not a head coach
Still too passive in games for me. Scoring a few tries and running some good lines, on occasion, is not enough workload. Yesterday was one of Garner's better performances, including some dirty carries, but we've had Garner on the books for 5 years now and we are still waiting for him to cement his position in the side.agree, start of the season I wouldn't have mind - but he's been massive this year.
Where is Ben Gardiner off to?Probably wouldn't be a bad move.
Ben Gardiner is moving on next year as far as I am aware, so we are probably looking at someone as an attack coach for next season at least.
A lot of people think Trent is shit as a head coach so your reference to him as a number 2 is quite appropriate.
I'm as critical as anyone of Nofo's defensive issues, but having said that Junior Tupou misses at least 1 tackle that leads to a try last night that Noffo makes easily.He deserves every bit he gets. It's always someone else's fault for his defensive lapses. He never takes responsibility and he has publicly thrown his teammates under the bus
If I was him, I'd love the club for what it is as well if that club paid me half a mil and never held me accountable for my poor play.
I’m not against letting Brooks go but I have a couple of issues.Agreed. Brooks has looked better moving to the six but he's not worth the big money to justify playing "well" as opposed to what you'd expect from a player earning marquee money.
Let him go, re-sign Madden as we lose nothing between him and Brooks playing outside Duke and it'll be cheaper and free up a spot to chase Burton and put him in the centres with either To'a or Naden.
I don't really know but I'm sure I saw somewhere that he has a contract somewhere else next year.Where is Ben Gardiner off to?
Absolutely Junior Tupou is currently a defensive liability. But he's only a kid and should improve, so we are going to have pain for the gain.I'm as critical as anyone of Nofo's defensive issues, but having said that Junior Tupou misses at least 1 tackle that leads to a try last night that Noffo makes easily.
Happy to see Junior play his 2nd game in the top grade and think he has a lot of potential but if fit Nofo still walks into the team despite his defensive issues until we have better.
Where did the Ben Gardiner moving on come from ? I know some of his family and they say it’s news to them , i would be interested in the source to thisProbably wouldn't be a bad move.

I’m not against letting Brooks go but I have a couple of issues.
1. Brooks is still better than Madden, so we potentially weaken one spot to strengthen another.
2. Who do we sign? We are already struggling to find players to spend the money we have so having another $500k+ (depending on release deal) is useless when there’s no one on the market.
I don’t see us being stronger next year without Brooks unless someone can walk from a contract. 2024 is obviously different. There will be a few options available and worst case Brooks takes a haircut to stay.
Where did you get this from? Can't find anything about him leaving next year.Probably wouldn't be a bad move.

Madden is getting paid next year, with us or someone else…
Problem is Nofa has played 170 games and still makes the same brain dead decisions in defence and has never taken responsibility for it. It’s always someone else’s fault. He’s not fast, not an aerial threat, doesn’t contest kicks and is good for at least one try scored on his wing.
There’s no halves - and a few teams already missing one, without the new team coming….Yep. He also wants the 7 jersey somewhere for an extended period of time. He needs it as well. He is basically ready.
We have to pick our halves and pay them accordingly. Madden isn't going to be a cheap option anymore unless every club is stupid.
I would love Burton - as a centre.Ring Burton's manager post haste.
