4 years for a guy that wasn't wanted on the only team that's been as bad as us the past few years was certainly some recruitment decision.

He's too small to be playing on an edge I think. He needs to be a ball-playing 13. Even then he's a bit small for that.

God Luai has been pathetic

Tupou has mistakes in him but a mix of size and speed that isn't really common. Stupid to let him go, especially given his age. I doubt the Dolphins are offering money which is that ridiculous. Not a huge fan of the Blore - Olam swap, hoping it doesn't happen. Luai deal a shocker too. 10...

Missing out on Luai would be a blessing. We'd make him close to the highest paid player in the game when he's not a top 10 (and frankly top 25) player in the game. At absolute best, he'd be a slight overpay for a number of years. At worst, a back-breaking contract which sets back our rebuild...

I'll preface this by saying I'm really not a big fan of Luai at all as a player and think he's incredibly overrated (he's a good 5/8th, but hardly among the elites of the league), but if we were to offer him a deal and sign him, I'd much rather it be something like 3m over 2 years than 4.8m over...

Paying $700k+ a year for centres isn't going to do you much good. Least important position on the footy field. A guy who can catch, pass and tackle will do you 90% of the job from there. Not fussed about missing out on Best at all.

Luai's an average to above-average player. Absolutely no chance in the world should he be getting a million a year. Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if our team was stupid enough to make such an offer to him and doom us to further years at the bottom of the table.

Seyfarth puts in, seems reasonably smart and can ball play + defend well. He's good to have in the squad. Yes he's very limited and he'll never be a game winner, but I don't see the problem with keeping him in the squad. Guys like that keep the others honest too - it's a lot easier to make a...

Missed tackles aren't really a great stat to use when assessing a winger's defensive ability.

Could've been a good hole runner outside the right half and useful in attack but his defence is awful and in particular his lateral movement. That's something that doesn't really improve with time or experience unfortunately. ESL is where he needs to go. He'll be a weapon in attack running off...

In a world where the bounce of the ball favours us, we end up with around 8 or 9 wins this year. Even when we were 0-6 or 0-7 to start the year, we probably should've won 3 or 4 of those matches. Yes we had a slump in the middle of the year and some awful results, but for the most part we were...

Seyfarth's limited physically but watching him play you can tell he's an intelligent player, can ball play pretty well and is great in the effort areas. He's certainly worth keeping around. We shouldn't rely on him becoming a star since I just don't think he'll ever have the ability to truly...

Getting a bit carried away with Laurie but Luai is definitely overrated. By far the biggest flat track bully in the game. He'll be average if he leaves Penrith.

There's a big difference between organising and the attack going through a player. Cooper Cronk had 1 functioning arm and the Roosters did all they could to get him to play that grand final back in 2018? Why ... because even though he barely touched the ball or did anything with it on the rare...

It's always interesting hearing different stories people have of players. I met Farah on a night out and even though he was with other people, he was polite enough to take a photo and was pretty patient through despite the Girl he was with was asking him to leave us and return to her/their group.

Laurie's got some talent. Just needs to get his mind right. Probably won't be with us but he'll be a useful player somewhere.

It's admittedly super league, but his highlights video from 1 year is better than Brooks' from 10 lol.

He was an inadequate replacement for one of the game's greatest ever halfbacks and then struggled in that trainwreck that was Seibold's Broncos. I think he's worth taking a shot on. Could end up being a right footed Brooks. If we wanted to re-sign Brooks it would make sense to try and grab Croft.

Me.
