Reading the last few pages, one thing is very clear.
AD and To’a are the new forum whipping boys.
Jerome, Alex x2, Skelton, Royce, Sukkar you are safe!

Iv got no doubt that will be sorted, we also need our depth sorted real bad. We can have a great top 20 but our talent past that falls off a cliff, in a long season where we want to remain competative, our depth is vital. It's been a massive issue for years for us. Now there is an attempt to rectify it shows Richo knows what is required and what he's doing.

Porter? Surely not 😂😂😂 honestly find it hard to believe it would be anything other than a NSW Cup contract.
Even then a slight head scratcher, but who knows the guy could the ultimate professional, helps the young guys etc.

Staines and Naden I can see the merit of, we need some back up outside backs. Just depends on the salary really. 200/225 and under good value, anything above - particularly for Naden - not sure they are worth it.

Lol could very well be right 😂
I would suggest they have looked who we have off contract & taken a stab... We haven't got TayMay locked in for next year. That's priority 1... Naden or Staines maybe... But only one of them... Porter no given he hasn't played NRL this year & is only a development deals currently
I think maybe the DT is making some assumptions there.

I would say that Taylan re-signing is just a formality and will be announced with Terrells upgrade and extension (reported they were trying to do that a few weeks ago). I assume Porter would be a Cup re-signing and needs to fit in the second tier cap.
We would easily still have plenty of money in the cap, but the decision for Naden and Staines would be around how much we are willing to spend on players 18-30 on the roster.
The way that clubs set up their salary cap is that they generally set a $$$ amount for each spot 1-30. They then match the player to the spot and money. Ivan, Gus, Brandy and a few other coaches/administrators have all spoken about it. I spoke to someone at a club a couple years ago who gave me a pretty detailed breakdown as to how they manage it. Every club is different in how they do it, but it always follows the same principles.
For example a club that is top heavy like Melbourne might only have 300k allocated for the 13 slot (13th best player), but a team that is more balanced like the sharks might have 400k-450k allocated to the 13 spot. So when signing or re-signing a player its crucial they fall into the correct number/slot. For example you dont want to be paying Naden 350k if that makes him the 13th highest paid player.

Are you serious richo???
Charlie Staines, Brent Naden and Reuben Porter are all putrid
Only one i'd retain for depth would be staines

Haven't heard a mention of Porter in months. Almost all year...
Can't imagine he's that much of a priority.

Especially when he has been out-performed by Kit, Rahme, Taateo, Murray & more recently Vaka Aho in the middle in Cup.

Do you know if he's related to Famous Amos
Daily Astonisher just throwing darts again
For me there are 2 internal signing we need to wrap up ASAP
1. Tiny May clearly is a must so 2-3 year deal maybe with incentives and a clause for bad behaviour as cover. He clearly wants to stay here.
2. Bula - He is going to be a superstar in a few years so get this man wrapped up before it becomes a circus. This way his grubby agent would get commission because he does the deal.
Richo is building us nicely without blowing all our cap on areas that him and Benji want addressed.
I also still think we will get 1 or 2 big name signings before start of next season.
GOOD TIMES AHEAD for a change

agree Bula & Tiny are a must, which is why they might be being strict with the cap now
Ryles planning to name Dylan Brown in the centres this week.
Always felt this would be his best position.
Has Bailey Simonsen upset though, as mentioned.
Will be an interesting watch.

Is Richo quoted anywhere saying these three are priority? Highly doubt it.
