Did you stop doing Maths at primary school?

It is far from as simple as a 20% increase across your entire squad on a pro rata basis!

Supply and demand will still dictate the market!

Moses is not close to $1.4M on the cap regardless of any pending increase in the cap!

w/reckon he;s not?someone will pay that.
 
Opinion

Sheens might see tuki as a twal replacement

Just imagine a twal duplicate that can do the same defensive work rate and make the same amount of high tackles each game...except every hitup he takes , he is able to offload

Yes pls
 
Interesting how the full back position plays out at the chooks

We all know Full backs are well paid compared to wingers and centres

James Tedesco will turn 30 in Jan 2023. Club legend and Aussie captain

Joseph Manu 26. Brilliant Centre and Fullback. Full back of the World Cup

Jospeh Suaalii 19 yeads old, Winger and probably on low pay. Lining up for Samoa at full back in WC. Could be on the radar of Rugby Union however Australian team are going backwards,

We all know Easts don't lose players due to Uncle Nick and his mates deals.

I would love for WT to throw 1 million plus at Manu to play full back. He is a freak and could change a problem area into a bonus.

Potential Backline

Manu
Noffo
Staines
Naden
Topou
Laurie
Brooks

Much speedier backline to take advantage of the awesome pack now formed.
Happy to let Doueihi walk away to get Manu.

It's a typo mate. It would be best if you educated yourself, height in many cases has nothing to do with ability, more importantly, though it has nothing to do with courage. I served in Vietnam 1966-67 as a rifleman in an infantry battalion. one of the bravest men I served with was 5ft tall.

Did I question his courage? Get a grip. I was IMPlying he is a shit player. A liability to the team and general football banter. Bringing this into something to do with bravery and comparing it to service is weak and pathetic.

Mate, I have no problem with you having a view on Brooks, however, implying people with a disability are lesser athletes and people, needs to be called out. The only weak and pathetic person in this conversation at the moment is yourself. cheers
 
We seem to be confident because of Api ,Papalii , and Klemmer signings a couple of years ago we got excited about the Leuleua brothers and a Penrith prop called Tamou and a year ago excited about 2 Wigan stars Hastings and Gildardt . I agree our pack a bit better especially if Stephano who is a real line buster can stay fit . However our entire backline doesn't thrill me with same half's we've had for years and imo no specialist centers . Tommy Talau used to be a half decent center but now I am told no longer fast enough .
Weve got many wingers and no decent centers . Maybe Naden can adapt ?
Maybe Staines?
 
It's a tired cliche but it's true.... If the forwards can bend the line and get the defense retreating then Brooks will have time to kill...and hopefully make right choices... Everyone's gotta be on the same page though I have it burned in my brain him curing back inside.on the 4th... No one knows what he's doing because he don't communicate... He's swallowed by a couple of forwards and ourr last tackles under a massive pressure
