Situation is that Richo and Benji could be working on a FB that comes on the market Nov 1 for a 2027 start date, Bula is with us no matter what next season, unless we release him. the 1 year extension is for 2027. we are holding more of the cards in this negotiation. If we activate the extension...

In 2027 we will probably view that 1.2m as unders for him, partly related to improvement in his game, however I'm also guessing the market for players in general will be much higher with new teams in the comp and a new media deal.

sorry, misunderstood you...yes we did pick up Bunty.

The NRL list is never very accurate...which is odd...considering its the NRL.

If I remember correctly, it's just the one clause, and once he decides to continue past 2026, he's locked in for the duration of the contract. He has to activate it by April 2026, and I'm guessing if he does nothing, it automatically gets removed. So if I were Luai, I'd leave it there and maybe...

I think it's power not speed, bula needs to develop more strength in the thighs/core. To bust through the first line of defence.

Junior Paulo has slimmed down, improving his stamina and lateral movement, and he’s been outstanding for Parra this year. The game has become faster with the six-again rule and longer ball-in-play time, so while battering rams are still crucial for maintaining or regaining momentum, they also...

Bump

he (Hunt) has been posting training sessions on his insta feed for the last few weeks, he is either focussed on getting in shape or setting up a PT business.

doesn't mean they have not paid him. They probably negotiated a package with him to walk away. That way it's a clean break and he can sign a contract elsewhere.

they still didn't turn up in the first halves of their last few games.

That is putrid

100% he is critical to our team, we don't win much without him. My original question was not should we sign him, but how is Richo playing this one out to get his preferred outcome. You would think it should have been put to bed by now, and the longer it drags on the more I begin to wonder if...

That's the million dollar, or should I say $900k question...is any other team willing to pay Bula $900k or anywhere near that. Based on current output there are probably 2 or 3 players that compare that you could get cheaper...however the ceiling for Bula looks higher. Richo will be earning his...

If we don’t exercise the option in Bula’s contract by Nov 1, he goes on the market. Is Richo confident that no other club will offer him his current salary, leading him to take up the player option at a lower amount or perhaps sign a new extended contract? While I don’t think he’s currently...

Interesting thing is that none of this would make the news if they did not also own a rugby League club.

Geez that Samoa forward pack is stacked. Luai is going to love playing off the back of their go forward.

Brown gives us a bit of experienced depth in the middle...will also hopefully fire Kit up as they are both a similar build and style.

Wonder when Cichton will drop out...brave of them to use Turbo in the promo

Not sure if it’s just recency bias, but Yeo is a standout 13, a triple threat with ball-running, passing, defending, and even capable of a decent short kick. Pearce was exceptional as a reliable 13 and played a big role in making the game more professional. Clyde was probably the best of that...
