Turn it on its head and pull his contract. We can go buy who we want. Why wait for this clown?

I get the point and I wish we were a club attractive enough to be able to do this to players - but the reality is, we lose a quality (all be inconsistent player) and we replace him with someone like Klemmer....

It's all fine to cull players but we need to be replacing them with better - so far we have not.
 
Hmm not losing sleep we are no better or worse whether he stays a goes , his form surprisingly is only up as he is trying to up his worth in the market. If he had this commitment, origin spot would have been a formality not where we sat as a club

I agree, the big head has grown a big head. Api knows he’s going - It was was obvious after the game last week at Leichardt. When Stefano walked up to him Api gave him a quick tap on the chest then turned away abruptly, small thing you might say but it spoke volumes.
Please piss off so we can move on .. Madge can have you at the Raiders, he’s already laid the foundation by enacting your clause.

If he can’t see the club is really working hard to put a very competitive side together for next year and beyond, then show him the door now. He is being offered 800g a year, that can be used to buy two NRL standard players.

Yep - after his gratitude to the Tigers following the treatment of his brother by the Eels...

Paid too much money for him at a young age - which skewed his notion of his actual salary value when he has not shown any improvement/maturity in his application to the game!

Needs to watch and replicate the effort of Fonua and Samuela before he is a chance of being worth his asking price!
 
It’s disappointing. He will play Origin in 2 or 3 years time IMO. But we need to move on. Don’t know who we target. It’s really disheartening losing existing players that we make good offers to.

Yep - but most are young upstart punks who prefer to listen to managers & media hype rather than their fricking coach!

Stefano needs to take a look in the mirror!

It certainly appears he will be off at the end of the season? His headspace is everywhere but in the game. Has to endure the same losing events as Api, Seyfarth, Pole, Fainu and Sezar but struggles to cope. Hope he stays, however; the sooner he makes the call, the better, either way.

If he has decided to move on, I hope he has advised Richo, so that Richo can shop around confidently knowing there is a top 30 spot available and an extra $800,000 to shop with.

YEp..

I hate to say it. The market is super SUPER slim at the moment.
I honestly think we may have to buy Taupau, not because I want him. But if we loose Stef, the replacement options are worse.

It's a shame as Madge struggled with a very poor pack. Then Madge leaves we get a very good pack but really lack a backline.
