I somewhat agree. But before paying up I would look at what other options are available. It appears Campbell is one other option that I think is at least worth looking into. Now I doubt hed be much cheaper (for us) but he comes with a completely different skill set. Which skillset would better...

Don't know about loads more. Was reported as an 80k development contract.

Don't know about better, but certainly different qualities.

Our Fullback is yet to be extended on in my opinion not worth the dollars being discussed. Was wondering what an alternate option would cost.

I haven't watched enough of Makasini to really comment much on his play but most his footy has been as rugby centre has it not? He should be proficient on both sides of the field if this is the case with Rugby being inside/outside rather than left/right. Has he got any attributes that suggests...

Any mention of price?

You don't think there is significant improvement in his defensive positioning? The bloke is 20 games into his career, enjoys the contact and offers quality yardage carries. I'd also assume he is on a relatively modest wage. He is the n.o 1 winger at our club over the next few years in my opinion.

I wouldn't rate us no chance at signing him if we were in for him. Just not seen a reason why we would want to be. He is a B runner only, we need A runners.

Of that list IMO Moale is the only one who is both likely to be obtainable and a player i'd want. His development seemingly has somewhat stalled a little recently but he was tracking to be a very good middle. The 3 Brisbane based players I don't see leaving Brisbane, nor do I see Papallii...

Thankyou. No I did not.

Curious where the evidence is that the Fainu's love Benji. Not saying they don't, just haven't seen anything suggesting they do.

Respectfully BZN if this whole concern of under representation is due to limited Magpie colouring on the jersey I think it is you seeing an issue that is not there. I think there is some genuine reason for Magpies fans to feel aggrieved as until a little bit of posturing recently about...

BZN, I've only been casually tuning in and out of this debate reading bits here and there. So apologies if you have already answered this. Defending legacy is fair enough for Magpies fans as it is for Balmain fans so I won't touch on that. But with regard to questioning governance and wanting...

This has been a bit of a popular topic across most threads recently. Do we know how accurate it is? Has anyone actually compared football department spending here to other clubs? I agree it does look to be true but am curious just how much difference there is.

Identification or development?

No the captain should have made the adjustments to the game plan (kicking behind the outside backs or kicking long early in the sets) mid game. They should also have a structure for early shifts that don't involve positional changes to be called upon when the captain deems appropriate.

I haven't seen it in any of our current players. I don't know if that means none of them have that skill set or simply none of them have been given the opportunity to showcase it.

I don't think our halves looked any better with AD at first receiver. I think AD did a better job there than either of them did, but I don't think they looked better with him there. Quite often he didn't look to give them more time and space but rather just moved the defensive pressure wider of...

We were told the last 3 years that 2025 would be the year we will have a competitive team.

This is a great description of what front loading is and how it can benefit a club. There are however restrictions around how contracts can be front loaded. it's been a long while since listening to the explanation so unfortunately I cannot remember the details, sorry. It also comes with risks...
