I like how to make the hard decisions. I like Naden too. I love the fact that he came from a dirt poor env and made it in the NRL. Yea, we need to make harder choices and offload him. The difference with 2025 has been the outside backs.. You have: Turuva, Toa, Bula, May (Tyrone)/AD and...

It really depends on the player. Gallen and Mason played into their late 30's. Russell Packer was done a year in after signing with us. Same with Matalino. I agree, a lot of props are slowing down late 20's. But not consistently so.

Sullivan has taken a 100k per year pay shave to stay at Souths. I think his contract was 500k py, we were paying freight of 250k py... So Souths got a decent reserve halfback for 150k/contract minimum. .. That's nuts.

Agreed, yet there seems a lot of movements with juniors at the clubs. Easts pinching people from souths, the Riff pinching off others... Look, Penrith have bush men from west to pick. Mavrik may be a lower prospect but a first grade starter all the same. He raises our front row stocks, even if...

Is it an athlete thing? Look I know a few freaks out there and people are into some mad stuff. But Athletes seem to be next level, or maybe we just hear about it. I heard the Olympic games post event is worse then a certain episode of "the Boys".

... He will only be a 6 for us. Which sounds harsh. But Benji never was a 7, Morris/Hodgson can't coach a 7 and really they don't have the structure in themselves to do it. Scott Prince might, he might not... Doesn't matter he is not here. If Luai joined the Cowboys and hung around Jonathan...

Yea, I mean that is such a great decision. You definately need someone who can be halfback (on overs) when you have DCE at your club right? Absolute manly genious.

SO we will train him to be a halfback for 10 years? By train, we will get a fullback and 5/8 to teach him how to be halfback?... At least we could throw one pass Kimmorley at him!

What really pisses me off is when the politicians get a free pass, but our NRL players are held to a higher standard. Look Sandow clearly was acting off his tree. But so many polie's have done similar things and I would like a NRL body make them front a Judiciary and treat them like the NRL...

Yea, we really miss that great onfield leadership of Luke Brooks. I mean we had fantastic on field leadership in Brooks, Jackson Hastings and Aiden Sezer. It must be that 4 time Premiereship winner that is the problem here. ... Hey you are right, we have always been a disorganised rabble. We...

Wow So Raiders are minor premiers and Sharks are in the 8. Both with the fewest highest paid players. ... Roosters on 5, but it's under the table deals. Goes to show.

With you, BTW was Galvin here when we signed Bud or was it after that he came? I thought Galvin was here already, I also vaguely remember his manager making noise so he got picked in first grade. Totally agreed. It's one criticism I have in that people are signed with massive effort and then...

Yea... You said it and you are right. No offense to Galvin this time. DCE had a massive head on his shoulders when he started, the Manly elite brought it down. Galvin, he really needed a Lockyer or Gallen to just bring him back down to earth and straighten his attitude. Farah would have done...

Boom, you said it Merlot and you are on the money. Bud Sullivan is the looser in all this, we have closed that door. Maybe we are the real looser as we are subsidising his wage. It really looks like this: Adam Doueihi > Bud Sullivan > Jock Look Jock has something too him, but he isn't a...

If Desi is a Dinosaur hiding in the Victorian forests... Who is Wayne Bennett? Seriously Des will reappear, somewhere. I do liken him to Ricky, honestly there are about 3-4 original coaches in the game with everyone else copying Melbourne. Ricky, Des and Benji who is copying Sheen's...

No, ofcourse not. Jock Madden was to force AD's hand a little, but also to get a good halfback for reserve grade. Dunkeys don't need him. It is overkill having him and AD as reserve halves, but I am not complaining at 350k each.

Yea, but Dylan Brown is going to earn every cent of his contract at Newcastle... Also David Fifita is a real workhorse for the Titans, if only he performed on the field he might earn his 1m paycheck. Seriously I bet you there are worse. I believe we are still paying for Sullivan and that's...

Des though is one of the few original coaches. He got manly appearing at the finals level. He got the dogs (with a rigged cap) at the finals level. The Titans had no halfback. They had a monster pack and some talent around their backs. ... Ricky Stuart was off to the Glue factory. He got...

With you. Charlie just did not work out. I don't know why, but it doesn't matter. Cheers for your efforts and best of luck with catalan.

Look, every good CEO will make mistakes. Easts seem to be doing rather well. Yet they let go Terrell May. I am 100% sure they are still spitting chips on that move. Bad move and I hate the Chooks. Yet I am not going to deny that their team is making the 8 with all the noise around DCE and...
