Yet not one of those clubs outside the bears would have or spend $1.2 million on a fullback let alone one based on potential to deliver in 3yrs time to his potential. Let alone some of those clubs zero chance he would be at fullback for anyway. You have been complaining about the inflated...

There won’t be a single club that will sign him for $1.2m let alone 900k.

Wonder if that means Drinkwater will be inducted into the HOF next year as well. Cowboys prefer Drinky over Purdue.

This is where you lose credibility in the conversation. You have zero issues paying $1.2m for an unproven fullback & a mid range center that can’t defend to save his life, struggles under high balls & looked out of place at 5/8th when asked to ball play - and in his 30+ games across 2 seasons...

Would you pay Jaxon 800k+ to bring him to the club?

Doesn’t explain why you brought up Mason. Re 900k, most people agree at this stage he isn’t a 900k nrl level player on the books. Issue is for some reason you keep bringing up the 900k but the club or Bula haven’t actually indicated that’s the value either, most people here aren’t even...

Why did Mason name enter into the topic? Bringing up a 20yr old Mason who can’t even lock down a position in NSW cup & will never become an NRL fullback when talking about Bula is strange.

You’re guessing and assuming. He could activate, he could have offers of more, he could be working with the club or he couldn’t give a crap right now etc. The fact you keep harping on about it all the time is rubbish. He changed managers, activating the clause isn’t in his management’s...

I assume that both want a longer deal first and foremost. I also think the fact we haven’t activated the $900k shows more of the direction we want to head than that of Bula for the future.

You keep going on about Bula not activating his clause is a bad thing, yet you have zero idea if Bula and the club are in the middle of working through a revised contract which would be a good thing. We know you aren’t the biggest fan of his but his clauses are short sighted and doubt the club...

Doesn’t fill me with confidence outside of the line re working with Benji on player development plans and into the lower grades.

Bula’s wife won’t be here next season….

Agree. It’s about balance. Most the high performing teams this year had an impact prop in the 17 that just runs hard & direct, quick play the ball and momentum / space shifts. With the lack of squad depth previously it has limited our ability to play the forwards more effectively. I like...

Be interesting how we plan to use KPP in attack. Richo roasted the right edge defensively at awards night and then said KPP was brought in to help fix that mixed with his attacking presence. He seemed really excited about him coming & has high expectations. We just need to manage his...

His workload this season was one of the highest for backrowers in the comp.

The other statement of the night was Richo bagging the right side defending & its clear they have view of KPP especially defensively.

Makasini is a giant at 18. He would be the tallest and widest shoulder wise in the club already - if not very close to it. He is an absolute beast. If we can keep the KGs off and hold his speed a few full pre seasons the kid is going to be a clear beast.

Prefer Brown over Bird if we had to have one.

@teddy23 sorry to nag but who is absent? Didn’t see Bird… but he & Bud weren’t on the farewell list either.

Other options really only Hope and Murray. Tony played 15 games for us so makes sense. Let’s hope Makisini and some other kids enter the race.
