Enough for a guaranteed starting position in 18 months time?

I don't blame TDS. He can do as he pleases. My point is that you are talking about not putting juniors on pedestals, like not wanting to give guys like Luke L long extensions, while also arguing that we should be locking TDS in as our starting 9 come 2027 despite him being 20 and playing a...

Of course these guys shouldn't be put on a pedestal. It seems this is the approach of the club with TDS yet you are criticising it instead saying we should be putting season 2027 in the hands of a 22 year old hooker who while the signs are good, has not yet proved he will be a great first...

GNR this morning you were arguing that our club has an overinflated sense of how good our juniors are and were arguing against a big extension for Luke Lauli'lii. Are our juniors good or not? Because at this stage it just seems like all you want to do is stick the boot in.

GNR, this morning you were arguing that we have an overinflated sense of how good our juniors are and were skeptical of giving Luke Lauli'li a long extension. It really does seem like you just wait for any chance to stick the boot into the club. "Someone did suggest the other day we sign him...

It's devastating for the club but lets look at each case individually: Onitoni left because the club refused to put in a clause in his contract that if Galvin resigned he would be free to leave. I assume Ashton followed his brother. Galvin leaving seemed a foregone conclusion. He wanted a...

That's probably a fair point. I haven't seen Haywood play so can't really comment on him specifically but the elite hookers in the game have always had a huge creative dimension to them. Just in the last 10-20 years guys like Smith, Farah, Api, Buderus and to a lesser extent guys like Josh...

Finish on good terms and come in hard for him in 3 years time when he is totally developed and on the cusp on Origin? Richo playing 4d chess again.

Great opportunity for some fresh blood to establish themselves and put some proper pressure on these older guys.

Knights will be offering him a starting 9 spot on starting 9 coin. If TDS was going to be convinced by Benji's vision for him he would of decided already IMO. We can't match what the Knights are offering.

I also think Tigers should be angling for a different player if we are going down this path. KPP is on his way here anyway. Gagai replacing Doueihi would improve our team right now. Frizell would also be handy.

TDS last month in cup should have convinced the Tigers to do whatever they can to keep him and Api. I think Api had to stay, as at the moment Benji is very reliant on Api's style. I was really hoping something could be sorted here.

7.5 for running decoys and "continuing to move his feet in defence". I've seen it all.

Some who are talking down Luke will be the first to be angry at the club if he signs elsewhere. The kid is 18 and has been coming along really nicely in Cup and has not looked out of place in first grade on the whole. He is a great prospect (although he is just a prospect at the moment).

Not sure I could get behind a 3 year deal. seems a Dragons or Manly type signing...

Both excellent

Wouldn't it be nice if the game had some quality and thorough investigative journalists who could actually investigate some of these? Instead we are lumped with tabloid gossips who only access information by sucking up to those more important than them.

Ironic

I got the same impression

I think thats wishful thinking. It will take time and some losses for Galvin to become disgruntled
