I don’t think they have a choice but to stick with him. It’s a bit like our situation with Noffa. No one is going to come close to what he is on after all the injury set backs he’s had so they have to persist.

Don’t tell me what to do 🤬

There was absolutely talk before hand that the Sharks were in the race to sign AFB. Maybe it’s just that people didn’t care enough to notice...

Lots of beautiful beaches don’t have waves. Penrith beach isn’t one of them though.

Tim Sheens said as much in his first interview when he took over as coach. We have also released several players who would still be in our top 13 over the last few years only to end up signing no one. It’s always freeing up space for next year, but next year never came.

The thing is you can both develop juniors and try to build a team for today. It’s just our bunch of incompetent clowns wanted to convince us otherwise which in my mind was always just an excuse to fail for another 2-3 years and stay in a job.

I was discussing this with a mate earlier in the week. You sign AFB on $1M+ and he is going to be turning 30 in 2025 when he starts the contract. Do you really want a 33/34 year old prop on that kind of money? You might get value in year 1 and 2 but 3 and 4 could be disastrous. It took all of...

Did I say he was a failure? Why are you calling me David? Please explain.

It doesn’t sound like it given his application to training. Failure follows some people.

I hope you’re right about Alaimalo. I’m not as confident as you are but time will tell. At least as you say we will have some tall outside backs to provide an aerial threat, as well as a halfback who can put the kicks where they need to be.

I posted on this thread back in July that Richardson is the man I’d be going to. Fingers crossed 🤞

What did you hope to get out if the swap? A centre on an over inflated contract? Because that’s all that was being offered. I like Olam and at the right price I’d love to have him, but he isn’t worth $600k and that’s what the sticking point was. I’d rather keep Blore for 1 year then lose him...

Of course he is. Out of those 4-5, chances are none will reach the level Luai has. Juniors are a lottery, sometimes the best turn out to be duds and the average ones turn out to be the best. Buying origin level players is somewhat of a known quantity.

I wouldn’t do that deal, but I also don’t believe the answer is that simple.

So Penrith are taking 2 players as a favour to Isaac Moses? I doubt it. We may be run like that but they certainly aren’t.

When clubs are successful on field, no one cares what’s happening off it.

That’s the dream scenario. A bit like Souths when they landed Asotasi after years of missing out on the big fish and quickly signed several others on the back of it.

I’m sure he could play there, I’m just not sure he should. To me I’m looking for centres who have fast feet, good ball skills and solid defence as the 3 main skills. I’m not convinced he has any of those. Has has good top speed and size, and the possibility of being a real aerial threat, which...

I’m interested in this whole Topou to the centres idea. To me he doesn’t display many of the skills you would usually look for in a centre, and even if he did are centres more valuable than wingers in the current game? Im not sure they are.
