    Think they are both mercenary opportunists in varying degrees....totally unrelated circumstances btw Were just a soft touch ,and everybody knows it Both brought the club down in very different ways Both were shocking BS artists..."on the bus" vs team first" Both regressed WTs by a cple of years

    Douhi is dodgy in many aspects at 7...first issue is if he wants to stick around.Am sensing an off season dummy spit..parting of the ways Either way,we know Latu's resilience definitely cant be relied upon.. ....we also know Madden isnt NRL standard.. so Volkman is a bit of a no brainer...

    OFFICIAL Q&A Club discussion with Shaun Mielekamp

    Thanks Shaun Youve got a ridiculously challenging job,but youve done it before so we have faith,whilst understanding the nuances of the various competing influences you have to confront every day. Not easy. The supposed "division" amongst supporters is not really the biggest issue(apart from...

    Havent seen anthing from Latu to suggest hes a 650k player Atm,hes still a project...and is optional ..we need to seperate Samuela who is proven from Latu unless it helps rather than hinders retaining Samuela

    Samuela Fainu #280

    Almost too reasonable to be true..am ok to include ratchet clauses on this,Latu remains my major concern... Just havent seen enuff to lock him in as our half for 3 or 4 years,so if u want ratchets need a performance clause for him Am ok with Samuela..he will be very good with or without...

    Roster Breakdown: 2024-2029

    1 year at $350 with 1 year club option...nobody in NRL will pick him up at whatever age he says he is,so its either us or ESL I am concerned about hiring other clubs bench players,particularly late in their career like Bailey and Mann But we need a better "balance" (cough! )in this squad,so...

    Roster Breakdown: 2024-2029

    All great in theory...these guys(except Volkman who Id sign in a heartbeat,and cld be out of options) are established NRL players in high demand.... but who realistically wants to come to WTs,without a similar significant premium to what were already paying Bula/May and co(crazy btw..) Our...

    All depends on whether ratchet clause is included in his base deal...if for example Sam wants to start at $1.2 and include 67% ratchet by 2030.. ...makes him $2mill in 2030 ...and hes simply dreaming If he wants to match the Chiefs post tax....heres your one way ticket on Air PNG

    Cap estimated to be $16 mill in 28...which is 33% more than current cap..and $20 mill in 2030..which is 66% more than current cap His value today..as a non representative player and arguable whether he ever becomes one ...cld be as much as $800k,particularly to us Ratcheted up as a percentage...
