Whatever people think I like our recruitment the last two years. We are not paying overs, we are recruiting big solid forwards with a lot of upside and juniors are promising. If only we can get a fullback and hope to god that Brooks can aim up for a change.

I reckon brooks will fire up without Benji tbh, and this is coming from one of the biggest Benji fans ever
 
At least it's official, and I'm quietly confident we've come out ahead in this.

I hope so. Wish they tell him to play direct instead of stifling our centres..
 
If Joe gets to his best form we will be the winners here. I think a fresh start will do him good and sounds like he’s got a point to prove and wants to buy into Madge’s ways. Would be so good if he can play his best for us

Good signing along with Tamou. Where do you play him?

Probably lock

Hopefully our young props can facilitate that.

I hope so, he could be quite destructive playing at lock.

You can assume this “disclosed fee” crap takes Siro off the table, It’s offset somewhat by Joe.

JO was on $500k a season. Broncos chipping in a $100k per season for 2021 and 2022. I reckon the compensation from Manly would have been roughly $50k to bring JO’s 2021 salary down to Aloiai’s $350k. Better than nothing!

I would be quite happy with that.

Genuinely interested, in what way would his play in this role be different to prop?

I heard broncos were chipping in 150k for 2021, and 100k for 2020, hugely likely as JO had a couple years on his contract

9. Liddle.
10. Musgrove
11. Garner
12. LL
13. Offa

15. Twal

Personally as a lock I would give him permission to rove a little more, allow him to do dirty work in the middle but also play a little wider at times running off the halves.

That is how I would use him at lock, not necessarily how Madge will.
