Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

- Samuela Fainu is set to sign a two year extension at WT, rejecting the chance to hit free agency. The extension will be worth $1.6 million, less than he would’ve commanded on the open market, amid interest from at least three rival clubs (Telegraph)
Fark..

I may have to change my profile picture for a few days.

I did post that if we managed to resign certain players id change it to I love hbg haha

Sammy was the last on that list!
 
As far as the public record goes, the Fainus havent dictated a thing, whilst AD skipped a game because he didnt like where he was named.

They are not comparable.
I never said they had. What I’m saying is people would be fine with it if they did.
 
Its not a bad thing.. if things improve.

If things go south, then expect another 5+ year rebuild...
It is a bad thing. They’re all in on an average coach. And it peaks everyone’s anxiety that there will be a mass exodus if he was to get sacked. So the alternative is having to persist.

It’s only a good thing if the coach gets the team firing… benji still has training wheels on. The only coaching credential he has so far is rounds 1-8 2026. He needs to find out whatever was working and make it sustainable

I wonder how many players have benji clauses in their contracts

As always, it comes back to the same mob and the circumstances around how a rookie coach landed a 5 year contract that pays him in full if he gets sacked.
 
No. I’m annoyed at peoples double standards
You have created situation in your mind where it would play out in the worst way possible and then getting annoyed "double standards" of fans based on your creation of these events. Multiple people have pointed out how the situations really aren't comparable.

Cannot believe how much attention the Manase thing gets on here

People endorsing the potential signing of Manase to appease his brothers is not a situation I created.
 
Anyone know when the next board meeting is?

Surely there is sign off on a new Assistant Coach & Pathways Coaching Director at that one.

Pre-season training for NRL & pathways is just around the corner and we don't want to start on the back foot.
 
Considering it’s probably linked to a 2 yr deal for Latu as well …I got no problem with it only being 2 years ….

Let’s see if Latu can play some time injury free ….

Interested to know why it’s only a 2 year extension. With these sorts of players, you generally see 3-4 year extensions. Seems a little short…..

Great though!
