Me and my mates used to call him “break even Chris” in his early years because for every try he scored he’d also let one in.

Gildart set to join The Dolphins with a contract announced in the coming days.
32 players featured in multiple games for WT in 2022, only 17 remain for 2023.
Fans have wanted players in before players have been released but any movement before next Tuesday is a win for the club when it comes to cap space and contracts commencing.
4 players released from ‘23 and/or ‘24 contracts in approx 6 weeks. Another important part is ‘23 contracts start being paid/honoured next Tuesday.
One criticism previously was coach/club sitting on contracts they never agreed to and then having to ride them out while always having the ‘not his player’ line rolled out. Sheens and Benji have circled the names and got to work to move players on that they didn’t want.

Thanks for the update and I like the strategic approach taken with recruitment and release of players.
Problem was that the ones Madge inherited were on massive money and happy to collect it even in reserve grade.
We’ve got rid of a couple of blokes (Peachey & Gildardt) who didn’t want to be here and had other options and had Tamou retire.
Not much big money disappearing out the door yet …but still hoping Brooks hits the road to Newy.

Not fussed if it was good fortune or good management. Just excited to see the current list of in’s V outs.
I am too… but we’ve re-signed or extended a few who I don’t think deserved it.

Article in the tele from Ritchie, claiming Parra should be fuming the Tigers are speaking to players while they're on world cup duty.
Does he mean the way the Tigers should have been with Matterson and Moses being offered contracts and enticed to dive while still playing for the Tigers.

An in form Benji Marshall made everyones career a bit easier...
I can't say the same for his hole running - As soon as Benji's form dropped off, So Did Chris's.
I think Prime Benji really opened up the game for both Chris and Ayshford in that sweet spot period.... Benji slowed up a bit and they both all but fell off a cliff.

Sheens has a far easier job to clear the decks as no totally overvalued players he wants to get rid of. I’d go as far as say he will be on the plus side with dollars with Lucy and noffa creating extra wiggle room.
His only worry moving forward is to not overvalue players as coaches have in the past

At least he is making roster
moves to suit his game plan.
Always felt during the Madge era we would just sign whoever was available and expected them to play to Madge's game plan.
Madge can coach a certain roster to a high level, he's proven that. But a square peg won't fit a round hole.
Also is moving on Blokes at the end of their deals - Madge had big money tied up over multi years
No chance of moving that kind of cash
But was a smart piece of business from the Roosters to use Mini to entice Teddy in the Italy camp 😒

On another note to 👀
Tim Sheens has held a secret meeting with Mitchell Moses in the UK this week.
November 1 will be very interesting 🙌

The intro music wouldn't intimidate a butterfly ha ha, but the highlights are good hey.
He's quick and very strong around the thighs. He has a good in and away too.
What's his status?

the world cup has afforded WT an opportunity to get in Moses' ear without anyone else there. Farah and Doueihi in the Lebanon side and Sheens is over there as well. if we do the right things chances are he could put pen to paper in England without Parra knowing about it.
Wonder what role unc Benny is playing
In this
Uncle Benny is successful Business man as is his other uncle Isaac Moses.
Its all about the $$$
