Sims staying at St George for 2022.

100%. At minimum wage, most clubs have guys who contribute very little. So even if Taylor doesn't play a game, its just a minimum contract player who opens up more money for other contracts

TITANIC PAY CUT: Former @GCTitans Ash Taylor is close to taking a $900,000 pay cut to continue his NRL career. He is set to sign a train-and-trial contract with @NZWarriors - taking his salary from $20,000/wk to just $1000/wk in the hope of securing a 2022 deal. #NRL @cmail_sport

Im not here nor there, but I think he is better than Brooks, and a legitimate competition for Brooks wouldnt be a bad thing. In saying that, I would offer him $230k max. Id be happy to gamble on him for that

I can understand people having him above Dufty and Meaney (Who tore us apart in a style that if one of our players played, we'd be talking him up). But not sure how people can have him above names like Brimson, Gutherson and Kennedy (Did anyone watch Kennedy this year?). Edwards I don't think...

I have been thinking about where our players fit in the grand scheme of things in the competition. The first one up is Daine Laurie. Certain Forumers are calling out for us to pay him big money, before he gets snapped up, but who would actually be after him? Rank the NRL Fullbacks: 1)...

And how many really. If I look at that list, I think only Stefano makes either of the teams today. Even Laurie, as much as we love him, may make only 2-3 NRL Clubs. Brooks probably the same.

He just needs to show us something. Show us we are improving. I have not seen anything to suggest we are improving like some people say. Have us compete, have us play the storm/roosters/manly and put up a fight and lose 24-10 and we will all walk out and think we are having a crack This year we...

Mate, most of these players were let go as they were not in Madge's long term plans. With these four players we are not a spot higher on the ladder. The thing about these guys mostly, they are stop gap players who can 'hold down a position', while the other players excel around them. Similar to...

Well its all about quality. Reynolds was never a 800k player and Mbye was never a 900k player. Anyone who watched closely knew very much the level of their capabilities. I knew straight away these were both poor signings. BJ as a strike centre at 600-700k, probably not the best idea when other...

Hi all While it is great to put faith in our juniors, we do need to get one big signing to get the ball rolling. Unfortunately, at the moment, if we are up against any other club (basically anyone), we will lose unless we pay overs (and sometimes we still miss out). So while Maguire/Pascoe...

Depth player at best. Can't compare him to Benji (whoever said that). Benji was setting up tries left right and centre last year. He made people think Nofo was an origin player.

Exactly right mate. Who on earth is going to make a line break in that team? Our best chance was Simpkin coming off the bench against a tired ruck but that didn't work out. The comination was well out (Yes we missed Mbye out he back). Even miss Garner running some lines on the edge.

Dumb post mate. They just are not good enough.

Sick of hearing people say the boys don't have heart....that is all we have! Look at us here defending with 11 boys running everywhere. Thats all we have. We have a bunch of guys with no skill. Unfortunately you can play with heart and still lose by 40. We had 10 sets on their line today and...

Yeah you are right. Unfortunately he can't bring players at the moment (and thats the only thing thats going to get us out of this).

I just think we need a new face for recruitment. I understand its a terrible team for Madge but with how we are i don't think anyone will sign. Dogs brought in Barrett and they became more attractive than when Pay was there. We need to do the same. We would have half our cap available for...

Madge has alluded to the youth coming through turning the club around. Are they any good? Stefano is our best player, and Laurie has made a huge difference (Although not as good as many forumers think). But are the rest actually any good? Will they actually be any good? Cini Talau Madden...

We have Mikaele, Twal, Tamou, Stefano and Musgrove already as props. I know a few of them play lock, but none are natural backrowers. Unless the player was a freak prop, we need backrowers. Our prop depth is good but backrow is shocking with only Blore, Luciano, Ofa, Seyfarth, Tuilagi and...

However Penrith have conceeded 280 points this year and we have conceeded 676. Id say alot of Penrith's misses are less detrimental with guys going for strips or a big hit at a non dangeorus part of the field (EG - Defending with opposition on back foot). Our misses are bad. We sit in with...
