If true, obviously giving the dog extra time worked out well for us!

And it was still a warmer interaction than his meeting with Harry on Tiger Tales.

Why would he say "no" now, but say "yes" if you put a hard deadline on him? Makes no sense. Deadlines do nothing except restrict your options. When we are talking about signings for 2024, we can afford to wait.
At least we have closure

Have you got mail on the next coach after Sheen’s and Benji are scapegoated?

I think we lucked out in missing out on him and Ciraldo. Too much money and too many years.

Those of us who don't believe in fairytales had closure from the day the club made an offer!

I posted this on other forum so apologies that I’m repeating myself but same relevant to this topic.
Agree that apart from Api at hooker we have short term issues to address with our spine and definite lack of star quality at fullback and half position.
However paying Moses well overs at $1.3M, $1.4M or suggested $1.5M is not the answer. Firstly you need to try and remember the fact that he has serious flaws in his game ….. and when things get tough he goes missing. I agree that his game has improved under Arthur coaching both in attack and more importantly in defence where he was turnstile in past years ……. but let’s face it he is no Cleary, Haynes, Munster, Hughes, Dale Cherry Evens, Reynolds and even Hunt.
He is also 28 so no spring chicken, free of major injuries to date and both those things don’t argue well for the future unless you rely on luck alone. What I’m getting at I suppose is to say that although I dislike the guy with a passion he would have been a nice pickup at-a reasonable $900-$1M for about 3 years with perhaps some incentives and TPAs built in the deal. But that’s it ….. we have some promising juniors on line in about 3-4 years and money available for some emerging star signings over next two seasons. Players who come out of nowhere like Reuben Cotter, Jeremiah Nanai, Sam Walker, Joseph Suaalii, Selwyn Cobbo etc
We are in a middle of a rebuild with some key components already in place and other local emerging talent in evidence. That’s a positive and having savvy well credentialed coaching and recruitment people actively in player market with a stack of poker chips available is a definite positive for me rather than crying over some spilled milk recruitment episode.

Why what difference would it make? Didn’t we put a deadline on him last time?!?
Your not taking into account the cap increase plus while I don't like him and would perfer not signing him acting like he isn't a top 5 halfback and pretending that 28 is still old for a nrl halback when half the other you named are either the same age or older(dce and hunt are 34 and 32 respectively) is just pure cope

Musgrove was one of those St George idiots in the drunken melee in Mudgee. Geez, I am glad we got rid of him!
Hindsight is 20/20.
