Could not agree more.

Only 21 years old and has played 20 first grade games while being asked to fill critical roles at fullback, half and lock (bit of bench hooker as well I think).

He has had some really poor moments, but he has also had some really encouraging ones. He has absolutely stood out in the handful of NSW cup games I have watched him play.

Not many 21 year olds with the diversity of experience and to my eye he continues to improve with each experience. I think 25+ year old Heath Mason is a very handy first grader and I think he isn’t the worst use of a bottom tier top 30 contract.

I agree.

He reminds me of Connor Watson

If he was at a better club he would be number 14 filling in at hooker and 5/8 when needed

So we can give Mason a top 30 contract for a few years or contemplate getting him back in 3 or 4 years if/when he is good enough. Definitely the latter for mine.

I’m with you in the absence of something better which I can’t be sure Schiller is

He’s had some poor days for sure but remember he’s played in some pretty big hiding games when we were low on top liners

He’d look better in a team that’s firing which we all hope we will be given a fair run with injuries and no internal hand grenades like the Luai debacle this year

As you said ..winning games would increase home crowds ( and memberships) ..

That should be their primary motivation …. Not making an extra $100-200k by selling home games to the opposition clubs

I don't agree with taking the home game there but it would be much sweeter than $100-$200k for the club.
 
If you look at stats,
Then Latu's stats show up pretty badly in friday nights game playing in a winning team of 36 to nil.

But then look at Luai's effort in A team winning by over 60 points, and his stats look a lot similar to Latu's, and they only kicked 5 from 13 shots so the score could have been closer to 80, so to me Luai's effort was bad for a half in a walkover like that.

26 who we know of officially.

I’d be pretty confident Sukkar is another but no confirmation. Don’t know what contracts Taupau-Moors & Godinet are upgraded to next season either (ideally Development).

Neither had top 30 contracts as part of their original contracts. Neither have impressed enough nor are remotely close to top 30 and hopefully haven't been upgraded

I think both were on dev contracts next year

i hear closer to 500k

samuela has ratchet and origin clauses also, i heard yonks ago it was a long term deal, so interested to see its now 2

the boys love benji

If they love him like they say they do, then hopefully they start playing for him.
Otherwise he's a goner. The players sure played like they hated Benji this season.

Having players linking they're contracts to the coach with the best odds of being sacked is not a good thing.
