Correct me if I’m wrong, but does the intention of moving on players such as Bateman for this season, mean their remaining salary for this season is now covered by the club they are joining and meaning we can use that cash to throw into the bargain to try and temp someone such as Stef to stay ?
An extra 100 - 150k to pay Stef for this season while not effecting our salary cap moving forward ?

I’ve seen estimate of $100k to $150 k ….which can be given to Stef

Lol. I relocated here 7 years ago to be closer to family but so much I miss about the north.
Just getting ready for a months holiday in Sydney including 2 WT games at Leichhardt. That will feel so good, along with a day at Randwick, Rosehill, Canterbury races, it’s been a long time.

Sounds like a great holiday Hal.
Enjoy Rosehill before the government sell it off for housing.
 
Gus did have that smug look he gets when he goes all quiet while Weidler was talking.about Stef the other night expecting for him to add something and it was crickets..it crossed my mind for minute then nah put it down to being paranoid.
 
I honestly i hope doggies get stef . Hes not worth the money , too inconsistent and no heart. Worked out good for the Bulldogs the last big money frontrower they got from us, from memory I think it was Aaron Woods haha. Stefano plays a bit like a Stefanie just like Aaron played abit like Sharon. Similarities.

Stephanie and Sharon sound like the front row of an NRLW side.

Probably waiting for a formal offer from the Dogs.

If he is to leave, he would be silly not to go to Melbourne. Its probably the only place that will fix his biggest issues as a player which is his soft mentality. He is way too inconsistent and as soon as anything on the field goes wrong, he puts his head down and is done for the game.

His only good performances for us is when everything is going right. Bellamy would be the best at building resilience and mental strength in Stef. I can still see him slightly improving at the dogs, but can't see the Dogs or any other teams getting him to reach his full potential as an elite level prop.

Look, I understand the dynamics, I played up until Flegg myself before being distracted by parties and girls.

Between the 3 of them they've had less than a handful of good games this season.... which to me shows they arent standing up and making themselves counted. Atleast Api tries, he's had a few games he'd rather forget, but he still busts his ass. The other blokes I mentioned if they put the same effort in as Api, which they should (considering how much they are paid) then our team isn't coming last.

How many good games has our halves had? Our fullback?
It’s all of them

And what do you guys assume Wayne Bennett would do with this current team as soon as he arrived, he would do exactly what Benji & Richo are trying to do,
He would offload at least 60% of the team, And you would say he is doing the right thing.

Its a real laugh, on 360 Tuesday they were prepared to Praise Jason Ryles for his clear out attitude of Parramatta's players that were not performing.
Then in the next segment they were talking about how bad we are for basically the same thing,
So for a team coming 2nd last we respect them for allowing Ryles to get rid of players that aren’t worth keeping.

But the team coming last with a bunch of BLUDGERS playing are doing the wrong thing in trying to change there roster,
And do the same thing.

Besides, even I we offered Bennett 2ml a season he would not come here.

So stop dreaming.

Who were we criticised for moving on?

Stefano? We are trying to keep him.
Bateman? He has only been moved on for 6 weeks & is back next year.

The other difference with Bennett is that he would have players wanting to play under him.
