Absolutely. This is his last year contacted. I’d be extending him for two more.

His leg speed is amazing. I want him to become something.

Bula is a good player. But lacks speed off the mark. Not worth the reported $950k. We have been “Isaac Mosesed” again.

It still needs some work though. A few off target on right to lefts. Otherwise he has been as good as advertised. Great to see.

Manly and Warriors also looking big, fast and physical. I hope we look the same in our trial later!

They didn’t want Lomax because of his contract and agreed to release him on certain conditions, including Parra providing permission if he is to play for another NRL club. Parra are trying to leverage it for a player swap. So they should, contractually they hold all the cards.

PVL was very quick to say players leaving for R360 would get lifetime bans from the NRL. But if Lomax can increase ratings and revenue I suppose he is allowed back…. It’s another great reminder that it is only us fans who are fools. We are the only ones who genuinely care about our teams...

So do the bulldogs and roosters. For whatever reason, we seem to prioritise slower, smaller, weaker, and/or workmanlike players in our juniors.

I think he was the Australian schoolboys rugby full back last year?

I don’t want my state importing and paying to house QLD crims.

I agree this is an often overlooked but extremely important component of us improving this year. If Douhie consistently kicks it 10m longer on average than everyone else (which he does) it is huge in terms of flipping the battle for field position.

I said a long time ago on this forum (before Galvin walked out) that Galvin reminded me of Hastings. Slow runner and too many touches for not enough impact. I was shouted down on the forum. I will be watching the next couple of years of Galvin’s career with interest because if he keeps serving...

When Fittler first retired he was being paid $250k to run the water….

Agree, promoting young blokes before their time hasn’t worked for us in past years. Although, the identification and environment hasn’t helped.

If those figures are true, it’s a great deal for us. Needs to tighten up his defence a bit but the raw ingredients are definitely there.

I’m not sure why he waited until the end of the season to have that conversation.

Bunty will take one. I feel with a team that *needs* to make the top 8 this year it would have been beneficial to have at least one other proven first grader taking up one of those spots. Depth has been our problem for years and we got very lucky last year with injuries and suspensions.

Bula was gone as soon as we went to the media saying we were confident of re-signing him. We have Moses everything he needed. We never learn.

I saw Phil Gould last night. At a Chinese restaurant. He was waiting for takeaway as I was leaving. I asked him if the Bula rumours were true and he responded “no comment”. Make of that what you will.

Richo is gone.
