Ah, from memory Bud was signed before Sezer. Which was McDaniel?? Time.

Pre Fulton. Fulton would not have signed Bud because he knew who was available in the Manly sheds.

Bud was a Sheens signing from memory. Guessing Benji got some input too and they all watched him guide St George in demolishing us one game.

He was a Fulton signing - 100%.

Been lurking, just saving up all the shit posting for election night.

not sure...to be fair, it would not be great for Bud rocking up to training knowing the coach and club dont want you there and are desperate to get rid of you..

Hopefully it makes him want to leave.

I reckon they just name him at front row in reggies until he decides on his own to leave. Problem solved.

This is the Wests Tigers way. The board had a recruitment manager at the time, Fulton. Pascoe was also negotiating with Bud. Neither of those 2 knew that Benji and Richo were in talks with Luai. The old saying "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" may well apply.
I doubt if those board members, who secretly parachuted Fulton into recruitment knew what Benji and Richo were up to, otherwise they could have jeopardised the operation. LOL
Was Pascoe sacked or did he leave? I'm hoping he was told to resign otherwise we have more pain to come.

Scott Fulton still collecting Centrelink?

I thought i saw him the other night at Townhall station selling 2003 copies of News of the World.

I’d assume the rlpa would step in if he had a problem with being moved to the front row

Looks more like Noffa.

😂 I think Bud is showing some courage to stay and fight for his beloved 7 jersey in the face of adversity. I wonder if he would refuse to leave if the club offered to pay the balance of his $2.4m or what ever it is?

Getting paid that much not to train or work,i am 71 i would happily take that offer in a heartbeat.Where is Lee when you need him?

Yea,

But also it's a bad look.
You sign a young halfback for 4 years and then want to punt him from your team year 2.

So you throw him into the front row. Now most teams the players tend to forget. i.e. Easts Punting Mitchell Pearce. But I reckon this kind of behaviour would haunt us just a little.

TLDR: Don't make dumb signings and don't make them for 4 years.

Move to French Polynesia.

Latu has the 14 right now. Any half that goes down will be replaced by Latu. After Latu it's bird. Bench replacement will be TDS or Mason. Sullivan is way down the pecking order as you correctly point out.

Idk why everyone is so keen to play latu out of position where he can’t develop. Let him play cup, let either hope or bird be 14, someone who doesn’t have the label and expectations of being a longterm, generational half

I don’t agree.
Latu is our 7 or is not in first grade.
This kid needs to play 20+ games next year as a 7, no matter where.

Why does everyone think latu will be 14. If we want Api to continue to perform, TDS must be the regular 14 and must be given a minimum 20 minutes a game . Otherwise Api will be busted end of season like this year. I agree Latu should be 7 in cup until such time he simply can’t be left out of the team, and that would be at 6 7 13 or somewhere in the back line .
Not on the bench.

If we are stuck with bud on the roster I’d almost consider loaning Latu to another NRL club or super league for one year to free up a roster spot.

Would you risk another club spending every day seeing how good he is?
We’d lose him.
Why not loan Bud?

Not sure we’d find a suitor for bud - it worked for Harry Grant. He’d obviously have to agree on the proviso he’s back in 2026.
