Why? He can play straight away under both contract, but the t and t carries less risk/commitment from the club's perspective. To reiterate, I dont think hell be 'straight in', just that it will earlier than the 4-6 week period that Richo loosely alluded to in his quotes on the signing in the...

They wouldn't have offered a t and t if they didn't think he could contribute this year. I think you're on the money. He'll be there sooner rather than later, with the obvious caveat of his return to the NRL scene being a smooth one. Could play out a number of ways. I'm optimistic.

I think, given the obvious baggage he carries, it is indicative of us knowing we need something extra in the backline right now. And we all know it's likely Doueihi's spot if he can hit the ground running.

I would very surprised if that's not fast-tracked. There are only 11 first grade games left. They will not want to go through the process of bringing him into the system, but not running him for a month or so, leaving only 5/6 games left to use him. The season could be well and truly gone by...

Correct. That's the entire purpose of most of the threads on here, to speculate on the likelihood, and/or outcome, of certain events involving our club. Reyno has 4 kids, mostly school age. Certainly would be a considerable factor.

If the contract is only a year, it doesn't mean the move has to be. Positions post-football, either with us or elsewhere, if based in Sydney, may mean that the 1 or 2 years is not the sole deciding factor if they're looking for a permanent move back to Sydney anyway. I'm not saying that is the...

To have had him named on the Reserves bench to receive a couple of mins in Cup this week is a completely outcome to think is possible.

A large part of me agrees. But the thought of teams targeting him in behind the ruck would be terrifying...

a) it's not illegal to hit somebody from the side when in possession of the ball. b) 'almost flipping him' is vague. He didn't go past the horizontal and landed safely. It, by definition wasn't a dangerous or careless action as he did not end up in a dangerous position. A woeful call and one...

Also played 80 minutes. Seems unlikely.

Could be Taylan shortly mate.

If we've got the likes of Skelton, Tito, Taylan and To'a in the backline, with Luke L, Staines, et Al as backup, a major benefit is not needing to rush a prospect like Heamasi. The more time he gets to play in hhe pathways, the more complete he'll be when he steps up to a debut.

100% Ive been pretty bullish on Luke as a possible centre for quite some time. He has all the attributes and if thats his best pathway to first grade, it's worth investigating early.

Agree, but it's not far. There's only probably a decent centre to replace Doueihi and a couple of NRL-standard middles left to be able to jump into that next tier in my opinion. We will also have Seyfarth back in the middle with KPP arriving next season. Taylan May. And a couple from; Corey...

These aren't the types of debuts we should be making. He's a clear level below NRL and to concede such a crucial and impactful penalty at that point is just about the worst thing he could've done in his short time on the field. Came on at an unusual time just before the break and only impacted...

Ah, so you made it up. Checks out. **edit - either I'm dreaming or you originally used the word 'desperate' as below. Going back, it now reads 'happy to see the back of'. That certainly softens my approach to below. You said they were 'desperate'. Granting a release to benefit from some cap...

The purpose of providing a reference is legitimise an argument. If that reference is poor, as ZT is through easily proven inaccuracies all over their website regularly, then, generally, the original argument isn't strong. That's all. Don't overthink it.

Don't use Zero Tackle. They're most definitely worse than simply canvassing the major outlets. Half the time they don't even list the squad members correctly. It truly baffles me that anybody uses them as a source for anything. Can you link me to where anyone has mentioned $550k? I'd be...

Fair enough. Given the RLPA's stance on not releasing contract values, we can never be certain. But from all reports, the four year contracts were worth up to $2 million each. I've heard Latu's was even less than that. They were all reported to be growing over the course of the contract for...

Receipts please.
