You spend a hell of a lot of time on this forum deriding other's thoughts and suggestions in this thread you claim to hate without offering much of substance yourself Tom. Who would you be recruiting?

Centre would be my spot for him but look at the depth chart - Who plays fullback if Bula goes down? Who goes into centre if To'a goes down? Skelton? At the moment our depth is Staines, Naden and a still developing Luke Laulilii. Next year it will be May and Makasini too, who would both be touch...

He would be a risk but that is not big coin and there is huge upside - I don't think we can just sit around waiting for Laulilii, Makasini and May to come good.

750-800 for 3 years which would ratchet with any possible increases to the cap. Cobbo is already a good first grader with the potential to be elite. We have to have a crack.

Re Roosters - I would think if Manu is coming back then Cobbo would be unlikely. They now have a number of top-line centres and wingers to the point where Dom Young was considered surplus. If we are competing with the likes of the Dragons we would have to be in with a red hot crack. I would...

It's interesting they are developing both Mason and Mapa as halves, preferring Luke Laulilii as fb. I wonder if it is Luke L they see as the best fullback of the 3 and therefore next man up if Bula goes down? I know there are a number of fullbacks coming through that are 18 months/2 years off...

Didnt realise he was available

I was on board with Tupou but now im not sure about it. Leaning more toward resigning Staines who has actually improved this year. Isaac Tui'itupou also impressed me over the weekend as a depth option, his numbers in cup are great. Then Makasini and Luke Laulilii along with the May signing. I...

Pretty sure the Leniu stuff has been shut down multiple times by Spencer and the Roosters. Its pure fantasy

Thats interesting. I think they need to review that. To me it has been blatantly obvious for years that teams are "flagrantly" giving away 2-3 (multiple) infringements on their line, ruck or offside, Often an offside and a ruck infringement in the same play. I don't remember someone being...

My problem here is that the referee has stated its a "mandatory sinbin" for repeated infringements. Every week we see teams giving away repeated infringements on their line. I actually don't see how giving away 3 ruck infringements in a row is all that different to a ruck and then 2 offsides...

How often do we see that escort he was penalised for too?

It happens every week. The binning of Luai was harsh.

I heard on @jrtiger on his pod saying there is a way around totally filling the top 30 because you can count players who are no longer at the club but were there at the start of the season. If so I imagine May gets 4 or so weeks on a train and trial and then into the top 30 (assuming form and...

Gee you would think this is all happening wouldnt you?

The constant flashes to him are nauseating. As is the matty johns voice over. To be fair its not his fault but still

I don't know this story. Why?

I must be watching a different Bula to you this year

The salary cap has tripled from the days of Adam Blair... 500k then is nowhere near Alex Seyfarth money. 500k then was a ridiculous contract for Blair even by todays standards

At the moment it is just a vacuous space for people to troll. I enjoy the range of ideas on this forum but the debate has gotten pretty mindless and stale of late
