unimpressed by the fact that his management is doing the right thing by him in maximising his earning capacity? right.

By getting your agents dad to make pretend offers ?

I wouldn’t be impressed by that …someone you are paying thousands a year to manage you…

maybe it’s just me

Be interested on who you think it could be in your Youtube cast later on. Hopefully not Cobbo! He'd be better at the Rabbits under Bennett. Won't be Staggs managed by one I Moses.

Maybe Kobe Hetherington but I think starting for the Broncs these season has exposed he is limited in attack but is still a defensive beast who is an elite decoy runner & player in support lol (going off NRL stats). Maybe Dene Mariner.

I’ve got a feeling we might be ideally looking at having a crack at signing Mikey Lewis to play 6, provide a top class running game with plenty of speed as well as having a competent kicking game and a good quality goal kicker.
If this happens we would need to persue playing Latu Fainu as our 13.
If this happened I think it would be a great option if all players including Latu were aboard with the idea.
I know Mikey Lewis is under contract for a few more years, but it wouldn’t be the first time a player got out of his Super League contract for an NRL opportunity.
Maybe we could send them Bud Sullivan as compensation 😂

Mikey Lewis would be astute if as you said Latu is all for moving to lock. Mikey has amazing speed off the mark and brings a good kicking game & goal kicker. Maybe both Mikey & Tyrone from Hull KR haha

I’d take any of them at this point although Kobe Hetherington from has been a disappointment so far this season.

Mikey Lewis would be a great signing. He's a winner.

I don't disagree with what you have written but it will be a players' market and Doueihi will be picked up by another team as a back due to his experience and ability to play multiple positions in the backline.

It’s up to him IMO. He can be career 1st or 2nd drop at a position to finish it off or move to the UK and play in his chosen position (halves), or evolve and move to where his skill set best fits ie. edge backrow . And maybe even excel there, if he puts the time and effort in .
Either way , he’s not an nrl 1-7 IMO.
 
Gee reading that article it very much sounds like Reynolds has advised Brisbane that he intends to take our offer and the ball is back in their court to come up with a deal to seal him to the club.
We could be getting a Brisbane extension announcement or a welcome to WT Reynolds announcement in a weeks time!
I found it interesting that Marshall said similar to Richo re who plays alongside Luai next year.

Interesting you say that... I heard he might be close to heading there.

Ok …

I still think Richo would be dealing straight up…given potential conflict of interest accusations…

What do you reckon ?

Logical plan. Adam Reynolds for a season at halfback to bring more leadership & direction. Latu could transition to lock. Reynolds brings exceptional field kicking & goal kicking. Help mentor Latu with his kicking game perhaps and then we have another season to determine long-term goal kicker (TDS, Makasini or another).

So a UK 6 is moving Latu Fainu off his chosen position ? …. I don’t agree mate . Dodd is the latest in a long line of halves who have figured out how far behind the standard of nrl super league is.
Chuck is everyone’s favourite Jackson Hastings as well . Only the knights (LOL) thought he was worth 800k . Bidded against themselves , and now he’s plonked in KOE.
I would never ever offer big money to a pommy half. Train and trial at best …

What we don't know if any plan has been set & agreed to by Latu for his position moving forward. Maybe he is all for moving to lock.

He mentioned in a recent story he doesn't care where he plays but probably prefers 5/8 because that's where he grew up playing. But that sounds a pretty standard response.

Someone has definitely been in his ear. He was quoted as saying "Cherbourg isn't going anywhere" in the context of moving clubs, which makes it sound like he'll be moving away from Brisbane and has come around to the idea of being further from home.

I agree with you on that standard …no thanks

Strange though only caught a quick glimpse of the Dogs game looked like the Rat king was running direct and not doing his crabbing crossfield running.

He had a clear role to play and did a decent job as the link man. Also coming on in the last 20mins when it was obvious Parra had run out of steam is not really anything to hang your hat on. Wait till he has to create or is playing without Critta outside of him. Parra should have thrown more attack down his side yet were starved of the ball and Critta was there to cover in any case. What I found interesting is Sextons comment about being surprised he was told to go to 9, looks like Galvin may have been promised Sextons role even though all the talk has been he is happy to play anywhere, and it sounds like that is what they are selling the team as well which we all know is BS.
