Every contract can be renegotiated or paid out so it's just not true to say that the club has no choice but to stick with Sheens or Benji. It would cost them a lot of money to do so which reflects the absolute madness of what they actually did but we just can't afford to double down on a...
And there have been plenty of other examples of players debuting at 19 or even younger, Sualli, Ponga etc.
The point is that we are pinning our entire future on junior development due to our inability to recruit established players when the uncomfortable truth is that every club is doing the...
Jeremiah Nanai is 19 and already a SOO player, the same age or younger than many of our great “prospects”.
If they aren’t ready for first grade now then it’s unlikely they will be.
Don’t suppose it’s worth pointing out that this is Doueihi’s first season back after a second ACL injury and he hasn’t had a proper pre season for two years now.
He was visibly emotional after the Newcastle game and it could all be just getting on top of him.

100% commitment to the club is the least we should expect.
If we cop this sort of behaviour then we really need to throw the towel in.
It would never be tolerated at another club. Can you imagine a Souths player on the lash after a Roosters GF win wearing a Chooks jersey? He'd be out the door quick smart.
What happens if we play the Panthers in a...
He presented The Tigers with a roadmap to success and asked everyone to buy into it which they did including recruiting multiple players with this vision part of which he was happy to tell anyone who would listen that Nathan was coming to the Tigers.
I'm not buying the decent father line, it...
Kent can stick his dewy eyed sentimentalism where the sun doesn't shine. He fails to mention that Cleary led everyone at the Tigers to believe that his son would be joining him at the Tigers while he was brokering a deal with the Panthers to break his contract behind everyone's backs.

Measuring the success of the club using membership numbers is pretty meaningless unless it is broken down into the types of memberships being purchased, premium memberships against 3 game memberships.
A far more reliable indicator would be revenue from memberships which never seems to be...
