Think weve already spent most of Luais 2028 $$ upgrading existing players..pretty much the same ones (plus the Fainus hopefully)who will achieve a bottom 4 finish this year...doesnt feel like a huge step forwrd
Luai with attitude is superflous next year,and if we can grab another $600k back its another proven 1st grader for 27
Sam will be well rewarded for 28 onwards,and just hope we dont do another Bula paying now and ongoing for what they mite potentially be one day
What and sit out a whole year ,?that ain’t going to happen

wasting $600k to obtain $600k seems typical Tigers thinking..I’m hoping they at least have someone lined up to take his place for the freed up $600k .. if that’s the case then fair enough
He hasn’t delivered & he is already out the door.
Having him here for next year or not won’t be the deciding factor in making the finals.
He hasn’t really stood up for 80%+ of his games with us.
Luai will find a home easily.
If this is the difference between us keeping the Fainu boys or not, you pick this path anyday of the week. Add to that it would probably mean we have more cash to balance the squad out and we should end up infront.
I have a feeling Benji views Latu is ready and can’t wait another year

I doubt PNG would be thrilled with that.....

The Fainu boys are already signed for next season…
Not for the season after…

I wasn't even thinking of bringing them into this conversation. I planned to focus on why and how this has come about.
But now that you have brought it up, is just a coincidence this same song and dance has been happening under their watch?
Always someone else's fault, never any accountability at the top.
You admited yourself that December 2025 was a balls up when Luai was about to remove the clauses. So you are actually correct, this is connected to their actions.
Thanks for bringing it up.

Agreed it starts at the top.
But it's always someone else's fault isn't it. They always point the finger at those they have put in charge and take no ownership.
Same song and dance.
If he goes , I don’t want to see madden in 1st grade , give the kids a go at least they can tackle

So pay them then with all that extra cap money from the new broadcast deal …spend the extra money improving the squad for 2027 … there is a new hole to fill now

Id find it hard to believe that Benji hasn't been involved...
And if he hasn't...
Well shit is about to hit the fan..
I guess we are going to soon find out

Honestly is this news really that surprising?
The narrative was he was "team first" and "if you look after my family I ain't going anywhere" all whilst leaving the joint the first opportunity he got.
That's going to affect team morale, yes it coincided with some injuries, but it certainly couldn't have helped.

Benji would be all over this decision

You would hope so.
I have reached out to someone to see if I can find out where this has come from and whether there is a fallout.
Wonder if he gets pulled from the side on Friday night and we see Latu start?

Nothing is impossible at this club … but who else is making the call ? Benji seems to have had full oversight of the roster a while now

Who knows.
But Benji and luai are apparently close
So if Benji has made the call, fmd it's a monster call and he has huuuuuuge kahunas.
