Chammas reporting a transfer fee and legal matters to be dropped. Weak. Should be someone we want that benefits the team or nothing.

I agree mate. With the right support systems around him and if he’s getting the best treatment, he can succeed. My sister in law is bipolar also. Had a huge manic episode a few years ago and it was heartbreaking to see. But she got help and medicated and you wouldn’t have a clue if you were...

As much as I love Taylan May, the player, and would love to see him turn things around and become a success story. I just have very serious concerns about his mental health and really hope he gets the best treatment for him and his future regardless. That’s the most important thing. I’ve got a...

I was thinking DCE for 2 years to steer the ship and let Fainu develop his game also and even suggested this a while back in another thread. As long as Luai wasn’t put off by it as he came here to be the main man. However, I was listening to a poddy today with Matty John’s and Justin Horo, who...

Leka Halasima at the Wahs is a real tear away. Kid has a lot of talent.

Ref is giving Parra every opportunity in this one. Missed all their high shots, a blatant strip on Pole and is absolutely hammering us with set restarts and letting them hold us down. We’re going to have to be super disciplined and play it smart to finish them today.

I agree. Problem is I think we have the opportunity to get a real top line signing in a swap. If it’s down to Parra and Manly, the only 2 players on-contract that would really improve us instantly is Ola’kauatu and Lomax. Outside of that I’m not really sold and I don’t think they give up either...

Good point. But I also think if they want someone bad enough they’ll forgot about that. They’ve done it before.

With Galvin looking for an exit door and a number of clubs that’ll be interested. We have a very big carrot that a lot of clubs may be interested in. I’ve listed the clubs who might have current interest. This is more aimed at who we think might be the best targets at each team should an early...

Wasn’t Tumeth playing Ron Massey recently? He’s Top 30. I think you can drop them wherever you want. Galvin probably still eligible for juniors if we want to bring him back to reality a little further. The biggest problem I can see is him getting himself sacked or just not turning up. Eg...

Just a thought with the Galvin news. Should we enter the conversation for DCE for 2 years. Maybe offer Galvin early to Manly for Olakau’atu? Latu continues as understudy with a view of him taking over from DCE who he has a great relationship with.

Klemmer was on a pretty inflated contract so I understand the benefit in moving him on for the salary cap, but this will really test our depth with experienced forwards. He didn’t provide a lot of impact and had a pretty slow play the ball, but always got through plenty of work, defended well...

Or at least brah

Wonder if we’ll end up with the most brothers ever? Fainu’s Laulilii’s Johannssen’s May’s I think Api and Turuva might be cousins or something too.

1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. Toa 4. Doueihi 5. Skelton 6. Galvin 7. Luai 8. May 9. Koroisau 10. Twal 11. S.Fainu 12. Bird 13. L.Fainu 14. TDS 15. Hunt 16. Pole 17. Seyfarth

Just got back from Luke Combs in Sydney. Man that bloke puts on a hell of a show. Always loved country music and this guy has really helped bring the American market to a lot of ears here in Oz.

Sullivan officially released for ‘25. Can return 26/27

Don’t forget the lube for the next wank’athon 🤣 Been awfully dry the last 10 years.

Depends how you look at it. Getting people to buy into a family-like culture is so important. All the players know it’s a business at the end of the day, but a coach or leader that establishes the importance of looking after each other like family is a positive and helps develop the bond that...

Wouldn’t be surprised if he comes to training early to set an example at his new club.
