Considering some of his salary was probably factored into Luai’s money, I’d say we already have.Agree, but we must replace him with much better player, not AD ver 2.0 like Lomax.

Flanno is right he aint worth $ 700 k , but would be a good payer beside Ollam in the centresFlanagan has come out and said that Bird & Suli will be playing centre with Sloan at fullback. This leaves Lomax as the odd man out on the wing. There's speculation he will be pushing for a release as he sees himself as a centre at the very least. There are also rumours that Flanagan doesn't think Lomax is worth the coin he is on, which would make sense if Lomax will be playing wing (He is on around 700k per season)
I would pay 500 - 600k for him though, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were willing to chip in 200k a season in order to free up the other 500k.Flanno is right he aint worth $ 700 k , but would be a good payer beside Ollam in the centres
On his day he’s a strong dominant defender, that proves it’s mind over matter for him.I don't think AD has a problem making the right decisions and being in the right place in defence ,he just has zero technique and regularly gets swatted away. He's not a dummy like Nof.
He's fixable.
Everyone has put these kids on pedestals, they have done nothing so far , for me untill they get into NSW cup and start killing it there , I say we don’t have anything, on the other hand bula and pole came throw with out much fan fare , maybe we need to lay of the kids till they prove themselvesWe have players to re-sign and good young prospects coming through we want to retain. Lomax won't leave the Dragons and even if he did, I would not want the club to buy him and undo all the good work the club has done on Pathways. I have no doubt Richardson, Marshall and co know this well. .
I can see where you’re coming from, but you must understand young emerging players automatically create their own hype when they are big standouts, winning competitions etc in the younger grades.Everyone has put these kids on pedestals, they have done nothing so far , for me untill they get into NSW cup and start killing it there , I say we don’t have anything, on the other hand bula and pole came throw with out much fan fare , maybe we need to lay of the kids till they prove themselves
It is a double-edged sword in that if you don't make provision in your cap/roster spots for them another club will do it. Richardson and Marshall will be well-aware of where these players are at and I back their judgement. Laying off these young men, not kids, will result in only one outcome which will not be good for WTs. Pole was a well known junior talent and I certainly had Bula as an NRL player before Sheens made those comments. I am not a super judge of talent but it was obvious these young men would play NRL.Everyone has put these kids on pedestals, they have done nothing so far , for me untill they get into NSW cup and start killing it there , I say we don’t have anything, on the other hand bula and pole came throw with out much fan fare , maybe we need to lay of the kids till they prove themselves
Not saying don’t encourage them but if a class player comes available at the right price I think we should take him , if ur winning the kids will want to stay and play with winners not losersIt is a double-edged sword in that if you don't make provision in your cap/roster spots for them another club will do it.

A problem with "no young player in the NRL, until they prove themselves in the NSW cop" is that it nearly guarantee that most of them will go elsewhere! And we would certainly lost Bula and Pole!Everyone has put these kids on pedestals, they have done nothing so far , for me untill they get into NSW cup and start killing it there , I say we don’t have anything, on the other hand bula and pole came throw with out much fan fare , maybe we need to lay of the kids till they prove themselves
That's fine and I am confident RIchardson and Marshall will make the correct decisions.Not saying don’t encourage them but if a class player comes available at the right price I think we should take him , if ur winning the kids will want to stay and play with winners not losers
Both Bula and Pole played in NSW cup before NRL.A problem with "no young player in the NRL, until they prove themselves in the NSW cop" is that it nearly guarantee that most of them will go elsewhere! And we would certainly lost Bula and Pole!
Both Bula and Pole played in NSW cup before NRL.
Pole played 13 games in Cup before his debut
Did I read the Blues were looking at Pole for Origin....
He was in Vic at 13 I'd have thought...
Wonder how that rule gets bent?
