It’s not his option to decline, it’s the club’s.

Yeah I think he’s similar level to Bunty, and Bunty is probably more the archetype prop that we’re missing and he’s probably not in our best 17. I’d keep the powder dry until there is a starting prop available.

We wouldn’t get him here for less than 600k. He’s underrated but a downgrade on Bula. Can’t afford to be stingy here, fullback is too important.

Good signing. Not the player he was but he adds depth and is exactly the style of prop we need more of.

As others have said, it’s highly unlikely Bula will get Walsh’s level. Is May going to get to Haas’s level? It’s the wrong question to ask. If Walsh was off contract now he’d easily get $1.5M and probably more. Bula would get about half of that but that doesn’t mean he’s not the best option for...

When did 23 and 28 become “not young”?. Man I feel old.

He’s only struggled at our club. Every other club from NRL, ESL, International, Origin won something. I think WT are just an outlier. You could say the same about Ivan Cleary. He couldn’t achieve success here but won multiple premierships with a star studded Penrith side.

And Latu needs to be Temu Nathan Cleary and if Pole can become Temu Payne Hass we’re going places.

If last night didn’t prove it was us not Madge nothing will. He might not be the players best friend but he gets results. The stats say 2 of our last 3 former coaches have won the last 5 premierships and neither were able to make finals at our club. Speaks volumes on how much harder it is here.

Coach themselves you say? Why didn’t the blues win the series then?

His time with us was under massive salary cap duress and we sacked him before his first year out of it and gained 3 wooden spoons. There is no doubt it was the wrong call, but it’s water under the bridge now. Decisions as a whole are much better now without Lee and Pascoe.

Brisbane. Madge proving we are the only club in the world across the NRL, ESL, International, State of Origin that he doesn’t win something with.

His tackle technique is where all of his injuries have come from bar the hamstring issues. Needs to fix that and looks like he won’t get the opportunity in the off season now.

Richo mentioned about $1M. Not sure if that was the profit, but we let go of Klemmer, Bateman, Galvin, TDS without replacing them. That’s close to $1M between them, not to mention taking home games away. So in theory if we played with a top 30 like every other club we wouldn’t have turned a profit.

Agree. Sounds a lot like a Pascoe ask the boss segment.
