So how much are they going to offer him then ? It’s another potentially risky decision

Like you, I have no idea. I wish I did have more insight. I can only go off the short snippets I have seen and that is of a player with good potential. It is a risky call, but potentially taking our time with him means it is the right call, at the right time.

The anticipation is nearly killing me - but I trust it is worth it.

if they retain him at likely above $500k …he needs to work out for them …I don’t know how they can be confident based on what he has shown to date…the sample size is too small … we’ll all be hoping for the best …and they don’t often end up getting lucky ,,,

I have just finished a deep dive on "The Club v AD". When I started the analysis I was of the opinion that AD needed to be out on his arse on Monday. That didn't happen. Looking at it will less emotion and more objectivity - I have changed my tune.

The Deep Diive is here - interesting to see if you agree or not once you taken a step back.

I thought the players in tears after the match was quite telling. One of the journo's was also reporting that AD received 5 text messages/calls from other players, including Luai offering to stand down for him.

I truly believe the players are capable of acknowledging things have slipped and they threw away this season - and against the eels we see them play to a benchmark much higher than we have the last 10 matches.

Team List Tuesday is part 1.
Part 2 is the actual match.

It's going to be an interesting week.

This vaping etc sounds like a Mosess/ Douhie camp clutching st straws trying to put a positive spin on things.
I vaguely remember Douhie hosting the tigers at his house and they were all jumping on the hubbly bubbly . Not that I am condoning vaping but gees come on.
Also how could bulldog Ritchie keeps straight face with all that dribble he was saying pro mosses and Douhie.

Take it easy on poor old Bulldog.

Bulldogs dribble and drool mainly due to the unique shape of their mouth, loose jowls and short nosed facial structure. Their open lip line and sagging skin make it hard to keep dribble inside, all of this plus the fact that he's a journalist (and a dog).

Some weird picks from Benji across his whole coaching career, we are not privy to the reasons. However for me not picking Latu to play 6 or 7 when AD and Luai were out at different stages is the one that stands out the most. Would love to hear why he did this.

Benji learned off Sheens so what do you expect?

Actually, Sheens would have had Latu in the prop rotation. 🤣

A very nice summation Jolls. I don't have your many years of experience in the army, but do know exactly what should happen to deserters.

Are they that daft that you can keep things in house when you are not in control of the people who are talking especially when they want to control the content.
On one hand they are they ones sharing the leaks - truth or not it doesn't matter - because it keeps them in a job, and the next they say they should keep it in house.
And we all are reactive to it and very little about the product.
How long till fans get jack of it because the product is arguably getting harder to watch.

Exactly. The leaks are not from inside the tigers, they are from Moses. None of the journos are brave enough to say this for fear of losing a source or Moses forcing them to stand down from channel 9 whenever a Moses client is on the panel.
