Gus on his podcast talking about it’s ridiculous to pay a middle $1.5m… funny he said the same thing about our offer to galvin before he ended up signing him. he wants Tino and is trying to drive his price down

More use 3rd party deals, house/appartment and length of deal to drive it down officially on the books.

Gus entering the battle to sign him drives the price up by default.

Here are his stats. You tell me if he's worth 1.2 - 1.5 million based on output.

Tino Fa'asuamaleaui

The NRL profile of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui including career statistics, season stats, games, tries, goals, tackles and fantasy scores.

143m a game. 90% tackle efficiency. 14 hitups.

Sorry, but you can get what he offers for half the price.

You can say he's intimidating, but it hasn't helped the Gold Coast win more games. He just does the bumper bars thing and the commentators cream themsleves. Overrated and will be overpaid.

If Tino was to take a haircut on his next contract you might consider signing him that would be a sign that he has the hunger still left in his belly to lead his next team's pack to push for success.

But if it's money he's chasing forget it you only have to look at his existing club example in Fifita when he landed the big bucks, form went to shit and possible jealousy sets in amongst team mates making team harmony take a nosedive.
 
I’m ok with the Roberts signing , changing our reserves is good and hopefully strengthens them and our back up , I would love to know who is going from our mob
Staines - Feledy -?Bud - Need another 3 min ( Tumeth , Naden ? , ?

Yeah I think big Bunty could be useful amazingly only 30 next year feels like he's been around forever.
A big prop that over past seasons has dented us up the middle Benji needs to get those man management skills to work and convince him to come across.
 
Our attack has been ordinary this season. I'd be looking to target Justin Giteau from the Raiders to partner Marshall. Get Harry to put him up in one of his pads, whatever it takes.

"Our attack coach Justin Giteau (brother of rugby great Matt), I have to give a massive pat on the back, because he's really shaped our attack to what we needed and our style of play," Starling said.

The Raiders had a similar record in attack to us last season, they're now second, behind Melbourne.

Do it, do it

Only opportunity for Bunty Afoa is in Australia it seems as he isn't eligible for ESL under the minimum NRL games played in the past 12 months qualification.
