Imo they should talk to lots that are available. It’s all about building a relationship with players even if you don’t need or want them.
I’d say we will have to contribute around 200 to offload each of Bateman and Sullivan, but that still gives us an extra 700 to spend and I’d say the good form from Naden means a Super League team would be happy to pick up his full 300k contract, so moving on those 3 alone gives us an extra million to spend.
Still wants out eh? If its the case, there's no pay rise and he can go when his contract expires - stuff letting him go early. Latu to 5/8.
Fingers crossed.
Off the back of 2 wins with only 1 potential loss remaining for the year
18yo hollding the club to ransom..haha.....if he doesn't want to be the face of WT rebuild,p**s off
Bird just wants to be apart of any football team that are going to keep him in the pay bracket he and Mrs Bird are used to. I can imagine the convo now. “Mrs, Flanno is not keeping me on, I don’t know who is gunna sign me, I’m old, busted and arthritic. And she goes I’ve seen on the tv how those Tigers are idiots, why don’t you give Benji a call and tell him you wanna help him with their revival. That’s not a bad idea Mrs, I think I will, and Richo is in hospital, so I better go visit him too. “
Mrs Bird is a very, very good sort just quietly.
Our side will be stronger next year. Hopefully a couple of decent forwards are incoming and I still think we might jag To'o. Need to move 5 of the top 30 on which is going to prove a challenge. However, with some strategic recruitment and an eye on who we can acquire again for 2026, the next 2-3 years look promising. After 12 years of suffering, I think we are entering an era of success (with or without Galvin).
I'm starting the 'give Ronald Philitoga a T&T contract' bandwagon. The Jeral Skelton of Qld Cup!
melbourne did it without having spots available for Stef...
