Preston will be a mainstay of NSW team much before Samuela. At this stage he is turning into the strongest hole runner in the game. The issue we have is we automatically give them preferred choice cause they are wearing our jersey. Sam is a good player but not at jacobs level. Out pf curiosity If he isnt worth 800 how much do we offer Samuela Do u think.

I rate Preston big time. But he only has hole running over Sam. Sam has much better hands, better offloading ability and hits harder. Im choosing Sam over Preston

I’ve been watching the footage and don’t think Latu should of been penalised for this 🤔

I was thinking something similar, didn’t wanna get into it is all…
Preston is a media darling (like Jurbo used to be)
I’m not swapping Sam for Preston any day of the week…
Preston has at least a couple years and probably more games over Sam as well - as well as probably playing in a better team.

Not sure what this means? So Samuela won’t be resigning ? Or will be before November 1?

presuming kade means he will be re-signed prior to November 1

Need another decent prop as well for the rotation and the rigour of 27 rounds in the NRL

Do you know how Luai was restructured? Will it give us more $$$ next year?

Last I heard we’re only paying him 200k off next years cap. So frees up a mil.

Keep waiting for Pole to go to the next level. Still young but it’s not happening fast enough.

The club needs that signature badly after a really awful month.

Where did he come from?
Has plenty of speed, but don’t forget we are not overly keen on fast wingers who score length of the field tries as they are usually not the best defenders.

Knights junior, went up to Qld for Bit then came back down last year

Apparently Preston wants 800k and dogs are not willing to pay

Wonder what we are offering Samuela on potential

Preston would command close to a million. Fainu will probably end up on 900k, hasn't fully earned it yet of course, but there's no one else like him at the club so we pay

Regarding Adrian Lam, I really think where there's smoke there's fire.

So if there's no smoke, there's no fire??

Samu based on only potential $460-$500
Prestons based on what i see $600

You think they're more or less at the same level as Seyfarth??!

Tallis Duncan is right up there with them, if not better than both.

Tom beat ya.

And not everyone was, there was Bruce, David, Chuck, Kareem, Ralph, Mr Myagi, me, and The Karate Kid.
See how only one of the names was an NRL player?
