I'm thinking the same, @jrtiger . The season's done, so why not show that he means business, and if you're not pulling your weight, you can go. We do have kids that can replace you, you're not indispensable. It'd not like we can move any further down the ladder. Maybe Bateman comes back next season, in time for the whole pre-season, and really shows up. If he doesn't, off you trot, mate.
We're coming last and aren't too bothered about losing the players who have contributed so much to getting us there. Seems rational to me.
No, that’s not true.
Yes it is. Maybe we should have organised replacements before letting International quality walk away?
This is a money ball type of decision...
I think so... not a spoon year
He's a keeper. Like his commitment and runs. Needs to work on his lateral defence a bit.
He was a She ???
Roosters have signed Townsend for 1 year so they are expecting to get somebody by the end of that time. don't know whether its Moses or Galvin.
My memory was they used Mini who played with Teddy in state of origin. What's the bet they are now using Teddy to negotiate with Moses.
They will negotiate with Moses if it helps them win. Suggestions otherwise are utter crap.
Let's not quibble about personal pronouns.
Obviously they wan to keep him.
When you have Luai, Galvin and Latu who are all in and around first grade and Large who is getting some training with first grade someone is gonna leave and Conti was by far the worst (not to say he is bad though)
I get it, however, I seem to remember hearing from the club multiple times over the past couple of years that we would be competitive in 2025.
Under a different management to be fair
Yeah I get that too. We always have excuses though.
I don’t think his best position is back row, will be interesting to see where he plays in the panthers side next year.
