Mate just cause she pulled the chargers, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Also doesn’t mean it did, just saying it’s not always clear cut! Problem with all the domestic stuff is that mud sticks.

Yes...I do not have any inside info, but my guess is some politics.
Balmain and Wests kids have been put into the NRL squad ahead of him...Kautoga is not a junior. We pinched him from the Sharks. He likely did not have anyone lobbying for him to get an NRL deal, and his manager would direct him to wherever he can get one.
IMO he should have been a priority...especially given he already made his debut and we need his type of player (strike / size)
U might be right, there were rumours earlier that the inbred dogs had signed one of our up and coming second rowers. It’s a shame cause he could be anything.
Alan Fitzgibbon appears motivated and has a point to prove.
He'll be one to watch this year in cup.
Has a chip on his shoulder and will be looking to make a statement... despite losing yesterday.

Would be nice to see these numbers continue and he takes the first first grade spot by force. That would also mean something other than FB would need to be done with Laurie, and that could also be a good thing.

That 90m try was special. Quietly excited to see more.

Bula was outstanding, something looked like happening every time he got the ball. That fend in the corner to almost score in the 1st half had a bit of GI about it.

As did his try in the 2nd half. Certainly not saying he's going to be that quality, but looks very promising

Sat on the hill to watch the first. Seemed to be in a happy place. Can't blame him

Yeah, but what's his Lancashire accent like? 🐯 🥃 🏉 🏉
I did, he’s definitely punching! She was also quite defensive of him as he copped a bit of stick by the hill!

Saukuru would be the one I would of thought of...played 2nd row all through juniors and is on a top 30 contract but playing Flegg. If Kautoga was gone, give him a chance to see if he deserves an extension. Other than that, Mansfield appears to have 2 years on his development contract and plays that position. Will be interesting to see who starts when he returns from injury. Boyling is another one who joined our squad late last year (but he would be a bit lower in the pecking order).
The development contract and $$ could have been used for an up and comer in a different position (Bula maybe).
Kautoga may end up leaving (I really hope not)....but I just don't believe that decision would have been made at this point in time.
