If we get May for reasonable coin, is that a win over losing Stefano?

@innsaneink - Cheers for that. I thought Gus was pushing for him but may have been mistaken.

3 years. 1 - 550k 2 - 650k 3 - 700k 4 - Club Option Performance Bonus for SOO selection and top 8. No Stefano type clauses though.

Perhaps even more if we lose Pole.

I thought Tony Sukkar didn’t do anything wrong in his debut. Would like to see more of him but thought he showed some potential.

It was awesome! Used to make me laugh 😆

I used to love Laurie Daley’s pearls of wisdom amongst the best was..”Whoever scores the most points today will win the game”.

Aside from the attitudinal/relationship issues which I’m not sure can be addressed, I think we need a strike edge forward. He just didn’t seem to have any tackle busting ability. I am not sure how much is fair to stump up for him to play elsewhere however I think we need more than he offers.

My guess it’s as much about the top 30 spot as it is the cash. Additionally, the negative influence and media attention a move like that will garner is not favourable. Whilst unpleasant, I think in this instance we take our medicine and move him on.

I think the real issue for Jordan is that the game is evolving to a point that leg speed is as, if not more important than size. He doesn’t seem to be blessed with good leg speed and footwork? He seems more a lumbering, roll forward type player. While perhaps a bit premature, We may be better to...

I am sort of on the fence regarding if Benji can or cannot coach. Like most of us, I live in hope and my feeling is that he probably can. What does need addressing is the voices around him. The spirit of 05 needs to be balanced with others with different experiences that will challenge and...

Seems to me that they chose a bit of a soft option as Hodgo probably wouldn’t be a threat to Benji for the top job. Loved Hodgo as a player but I think we needed an experienced, non affiliated outside voice. Interesting that the announcement was at pains to highlight the recruitment...

Large is obviously talented but I also think we need to develop these players at a pace which is optimal for both parties. If he proves himself and is readily for NRL the by all means. But if the reports are true and he is being promised a NRL debut next year then I’d rather let him move on...

Benji always had a high opinion/rated Talau. I think he has gotten better as he has had an injury free run. Interesting that he is playing wing successfully though. I think we tried him there with moderate success. Seems to have found a home there. Aside from his try scoring (18 tries) he makes...

Not sure what this means but just read this… Meanwhile, John Bateman will return to the Tigers ahead of next season, with the England international amongst a five-player departure list which Warrington Wolves announced on Wednesday evening. Not sure he has too many options open to him. He may...

Latu to Five eight. Galvin to be a direct swap for Bradman Best.

I kind of agree and disagree with you about Klem and Alex. I thought Klem’s go forward was down and his defence still very solid. I doubt he gets his go forward back but am happy to keep him as long he continues to secure the ruck. Alex was a bit of a puzzle. I thought he was very timid coming...

I think Benji and Richo knew the season was over from very early on (I think Richo said they started planning after round 7?). The high amount of debutants to me was like an investment for the future - see who looks like a first grader and who will be in our future plans. In that area, Mason...

Whoever they choose can’t have ambitions of being a head coach. Ideally a former head coach who is happy to take a back seat and guide and direct (but not be a threat). I like Hook. No nonsense and good with junior pathways Wonder what Michael Hagan is up to?

Interesting choice in terms of forwards. Could we be imitating the Dogs? Leg speed in both defence and attack with footwork at the line and an ability to ball play seem to be the way some teams are heading. With Stefano leaving, we don’t seem to have a big bopper (Klemmer is a little past it...
