Tedesco might have to be squeezed out of roosters unless he is willing to play on the wing for suaalli to play fullback next year. Suaalli is too much of a gun not to star.

Staines will fit in perfectly at WT.
600K a year is a steal if it happens.

Best player he’s ever played with was the term Benji used
@Demps - I’m telling ya….Just read this about Manly in a SMH article
"The club should be looking at the lack of leadership, accountability, revolving door executive team and low football IQ on the board"
Sounds familiar...
In the same article they mention the roosters will need to lose teddy if they want to keep Suaalii.
Roosters must lose Tedesco to keep Suaalii, warns mentor
The Roosters would never let James Tedesco go, but the task of keeping Joseph Suaalii as well will put huge pressure on the club.www.smh.com.au
It’s as obvious as teddys teeth!!

Sounds like issaslc trying to shaft Teddy. Ted not with Isaac anymore ay?
600k? Fair dinkum he's not worth 400k.
Pay him that then we havnt learnt anything from our past recruitment mistakes.
What you are saying pins a lot on Madge.
I think a lot of people are forgetting that recruiting decent quality proven NRL players is easier said than done for teams who have been struggling such as us.
Obviously the reason we went so hard for Ciraldo is because he has built a big profile and hoping that would attract quality players regardless of our results in recent years.
When that didn’t work, there were very few options available that could potentially attract some quality players, so obviously going back to Sheens with Benji the coach in waiting was as good as we could get in regards to being an attractive proposition for potential recruits.
The big issue is we all know over the past 5 years in particular, we have paid far too much for many players who have not gone close to living up to their price tag and it’s caused but issues for us in regards to managing the salary cap well.
Unfortunately this hasn’t changed and with our position now worse than ever, we will still have to pay well over the market value to get some decent quality NRL experienced players into our squad.
So what do we do, do we pay over for a quality prop such as Klemmer or an ageing Jordan McLean ?
Do we tempt the Bulldogs by offering to buy out the ridiculously priced contract for Tevita Pangai knowing our forward pack badly lacks the aggression he brings ?
Or do we roll the dice and offer well above the market value to try and tempt some young up and coming players such as Lindsay Smith (Panthers), Fletcher Baker or Egan Butcher (Roosters), to try and somehow break their contracts and sign with us ?
I’m my mind, there is no doubt when need to somehow create an aggressive forward pack who can give us a fair chance each week, unlike the powder puff forwards that have only been showing up once in every 3-4 games.

Cameron Murray - like the one that we s the captain of South’s?
He certainly did not play like a 600k player in last night's match.

All teams head outside their boundaries to bolster their pathways systems, we do it like everyone else. Although there is a difference we also plough mega dollars into fostering a junior league for all kids of all abilities. We just don’t focus on the elite. I remember many years ago we had a promising junior who we offered him 10g a year to sign for a couple of years. At the time that was a fair hunk of cash for a 16 year old. Anyway the Chooks came in and offered 80g a year and he was gone. The only good thing he ever kicked on.
Anyway this has been going on for decades and the current administration of the NRL will do what the other ones did….nothing

He's positional play in D looked pretty bad.

Yep
No it doesn't. The only people blaming Madge are those not facing the reality of the clubs current position, or are trying to take the heat of others who have also failed in their part to make a difference.

I meant Radley sorry mate, he'll come back, get knocked out again and gone, sorry mrs Radley.
And yeh, Murray is another.
That's a disgrace. Big tough adult using power over a 14/15 year old kid. It makes my blood boil.
Yes, I would be all for a straight Staines / Peachey swap.
