Yep, He is only worth half that.

The question is did the rank attitudes cause conflict with Benji or did the conflict with Benji cause rank attitudes? If it is the former then it is poor recruitment and on Benji (and Sheens) and whoever else was in charge of recruitment and if it is the latter then that is on the coach. My...

Not necessarily. There is every chance Tigers thought the world of him but he preferred what the the Storm offered.

I agree that Da Silva is nowhere near ready to be a starting 9 but I think it is way to soon to determine if the correct decision was made.

I still question Benji's tactical coaching credentials and believe the questions as to why so many players that he (with Sheens) recruited were seemingly off him very quickly. However; He has been phenomenal in turning what could what could have been a chaotic event of the board being sacked...

Galvin deserves plenty of criticism but he always put in on the field. Moses is the only play I've seen not perform to get out of a contract

I completely agree with that. I'm not saying that the playing group was ok with the instability or there was no effect. I agree that everything seems to suggest the overthrowing of the board that led to Richos resignation was a stuff up. I just don't agree that Bula was about to sign or that...

Sorry mate I think you are reading something that isn't there. He spent the previous 30 seconds talking about how Luai has repeatedly shown his commitment despite the clauses.

TBH I don't believe this at all (the info, not that you were told). Why would Jerome remove his clauses, what is his motivation to do so? He had been repeatedly asked about them and always deflected and by saying he is committed and they are nothing to worry about. For him to then all of a...

We also have 6 months to sort out an extension for him. I think this is a bit of a blow up over nothing. It should trigger a conversation from SM to May along the lines of "I saw your comments and I do want you here long term. I'll speak to you in the coming months once there is clarity around...

I think it is especially sound given he has the option to fall back on. Unlike others, It's not like he is risking an injury in the meantime jeopardizing his future earnings. Without that option as his manager id be recommending securing your future but with it, it's the most logical play in my...

Or worked for anyone else? TBF In most occasions I think they don't work because the player was leaving anyways. I also don't necessarily think that is the case for Bula. My opinion from the start (purely because it is what I'd be advising as a manager) was he will use the opening couple months...

That 38 minutes was over multiple stints in a game with unlimited interchanges. I'm not writing the bloke off, particularly after all the preseason puff pieces but I don't have high hopes for him. That is after initially being pleased that he signed thinking he would give us 20 minutes of power.

I don't think Richo ever did say Bula is just about over the line. Richo said this in November “I don’t want to do a pick-up of the option, I want to do an extension long term.” “He wants to be here. Unlike Galvin, who didn’t want to be here, he wants to be here.” “You never count your...

Thanks, I'm not a football guy so would never have known. Do they do extra time or penalties for the 3rd point?

You'd still be starting from 9th on the ladder. 8 teams having lost will have a negative for and against

Your not missing anything. 4 point games is what I and another poster suggested. With the split you have outlined for GP. TigerTarl suggested 1 point each and GP winner gets an additional point. Doesn't work in my opinion. Agree piss it off the best solution

I think Hunt probably does scrape into top 19 more often than not but if we are using rep career to justify it why don't we bring back Bateman or Matamua? Heck Rua played for Cook Islands recently didn't he? He could be our bench hooker.

I have no idea why they do 4 point games when they don't have extra time. It makes no sense to me

Yep. That's why I always suggest 4 point games with the different splits. Unlucky and losing in the 79th, well bad luck it's an 80 minute game. Unlucky and lose in the 81st well you deserve something because it's an 80 minute game.
