Wow. Moses actually said that did he?
And here I am, can't stand him and I didn't know he had said that, or I've forgotten.
Simple...I can't stand him twice as much now 🤣.
Doesn't really matter him missing out on a chance for Rookie of The Year.
He'll have so many trophies and medals in a couple of years, he'll have to buy a bigger house. 😀
I find it Very hard to come to terms with our current player situation.
We came last in the 2 proceeding seasons meaning we had a pretty crap team or coach or club or the whole 3.
Now here we are debating which current really good player we will need to dispose of in some way next year.
I don't envy Richo's or Benji's job in having to make decisions like that 😱.

Yeh...I think @The Chad was very unfair in the way he worded his initial post, saying it was a poster.
So, you immediately presume it was a poster on the WTF.
Then he throws more fuel on the fire by refusing to say who the poster was, when he could have ended the speculation there and then.
But no, he drags it out to a 3rd post before he reveals "to be fair, his surname IS Anasta".
I reckon you were Very Unfair Chad.

Fair enough.
I just hope that "Negative Nancy' knows I was just poking fun.
I thought maybe the reference to Chicken Little & Keyboard Hero might have indicated I was having a bit of a laugh, but I guess not.
Now, to be fair- you could have just ignored it all, instead of being Nosey Parker from around the corner...
It really is crazy, people have short memories...someone mentioned were going to create a dynasty (after 2 Ws on the trot)
Players are coming and going all the time by the time we need to be concerned with all this so much will have changed and the situations almost odds on will be very very different
Haha. He'll be like a kid grounded by his parents, watching all the other kids playing in the street.

yea, and even just winning semi regularly.
We saw how 4 halves in Hastings/Crossland/gamble/etc all were hanging around Newcastle. Ofcourse the Andrew Johns factor helped... They wanted to play and wanted to play together.
Yet I look at both Galvin and Fainu, they are going to want real coin. Sullivan too is probably wanting more then his 500k, but maybe he would he happy being a backup half if the playing group is really good.
How we keep Fainu and Galvin is the big question. Unless one moves to lock, we will likely loose one.

Gallen cops a lot of shit but he knows footy. He played it at a very high level for years and understands the nuances of it extremely well.
Unlike Gould who states the obvious after the fact, Gal speaks his mind and is often correct. He is speaking common sense on the hip drop.

We have to be proactive and move on Sullivan next year IMO. We need him this year but next year he's surplus and still has 3 years to go.
It's definitely going to be tricky keeping Fainu and Galvin happy. We have to find a way to fit them both in, they're too good not to.
Galvin could play lock or second row in a year or 2, but will he be as effective there? Fainu I can't see playing many other positions other than 6.
We've seen how good Galvin is in first grade, we haven't seen Fainu yet. Even this week, I don't think he's fully fit. We'll know a lot more by the end of the season.

Galvin’s defense has been superb relative to his experience, only missed 1 tackle I think? In 3 games. He does need to improve his technique though. Been pinged for a couple of head tackles. The hip drop rest has probably come at a good time for him.

I can see him in the coaches box the next couple of weeks, will build his character and confidence even further if that is the case.

Lets not forget all you negative doomsdayers.........the incumbent club gets the last bid for retention of all these players going to other clubs! You do recall that of cause.
You are only stating the bleeding obvious with all upgrades for players that come into play as if know one else knew it would happen!
Just put faith that the club can negotiate through these standard arrangements to put realistic values on players, our need to retain within the cap restraints and retain the ones we really want.
Penrith, Storm lose top players every year.
We just need to have top juniors in the pipeline to be called upon as some players get poached.

Latu is still on restricted minutes because of his hammy. He will make his mark on the game when he comes on, the kid is special.

Galvin is a long way off being a walk up start to the 6 jersey he mite have to wait for Latu to get injured
Latu is a very very good player

We are four weeks into a season and people are calling for Sullivan to be moved on at seasons end. We could have two career ending injuries in the halves, Luia could do a knee. It’s way to early to be making calls on moving players on.
Yes I agree on paper it would appear we are top heavy in the half dept for 2025, but let’s get through the season first

if you are off contract you.can go wherever you want, all this rubbish about incumbent club gets last offer... seriously
I mentioned it last week as I had heard Moses had made waves already and low and behold reported yesterday.
