I think if we offer McQueen its a fair trade

Haha! Surely someone will take him off our hands?
 
He had a huge game.

I've got DF in my NRL fantasy team, he scored 76, but I thought his effort last night was worth more than that.
 
When David Fafita and Payne Haas were showing talent scouts how good they are at Keebra Park , we had punted our Keebra Park champ , and struggling with Jason Taylor and then Ivan Cleary.

Fifita, no contest. He’s 7 years younger than Tedesco. As it stands, I think the 3 most valuable players in the game are Fifita, Tedesco and Haas. Don’t let Fifita”s performance overshadow how good Haas is. He’s just as good. As for what Fifita is worth? Taulmalolo is on a million a year. If that’s the benchmark, he commands at least 1 million.

I think HAAS has resigned FIFTA still available
I think put the cat amongst the pigeons 4 million over 3 years

You can offer, but he’s not going to come. He won’t leave Brisbane.

Put the pressure on the donkeys with there roster they will have cap pressure being QLD beach umbrella pressure

They’ll release players to keep him if they have to.

Depending who the discards are could be some good pick ups

Dark years, terrible scouting and poor player retention - Tedesco, Carr, Moses, Papenhuyzen, Koroibete and Taupau all lost.

I can only imagine how many Premierships we could have possibly won in the last 6 years if our back office had done their job.

Sheens was really big on fostering a strong relationship with Keebra Park High. What happened? Did we just stop bothering or was the responsibility officially handed to Broncos and Titans? So many good players coming through KP.
 
Throw all our money at Fifita. Sign him for a million a year for 10 years. Offer him a brand new car every week and a private jet. Whatever it takes throw everything at him

There are 15 other clubs who have supporters who’d want them to do the same.

Yeh, I know Happy, makes me want to cry.
Easts Tigers have signed a 2 year sponsorship deal with KPH, so they will get all the good talent coming through now. ET have $40m in the bank and are making all the right noises to become the 17th NRL team. They just need to change their name cause we’re the Tigers. ?

Three reasons - Potter, Taylor and Cleary. None of which focused on scouting or building fresh talent. All of them concentrated on burnt out first graders in order to get quick results. History shows that didn't work.

What I like about Madge is that he's starting to create a nice balance between experience and enthusiasm.

Redcliffe are in a far better position and have the stadium to boot

Do you think some of the older players in the nrl lack some enthusiasm? I often wonder about that. The other night on 360 Benji and James Graham we’re asked if they train just as hard as the younger players? James sheepishly replied, he might cut a couple of corners. While Benji said he’s never trained harder in his life. ?

Benji's a gun and he's turned back the clock.

But I can't comment on your question. I work 9-5 so I haven't been to a WT's training session for a few years.

What I can say though is that some of the vets have excellent memory reflex on-field, the best players will recall a similar game situation and react to get the result.
 
As the saying goes... You have to be in it to win it

I understand it would be a very very long shot to sign him but I sure hope we have at least tried to have a conversation with him or his Manager.
