Joel Clinton wasn't ugly, he looked like Elvis! Plus he was a big bastard. I wouldn't try to cut his grass....

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Save this comment mate.
If we land May or Thompson which I'm confident we get atleast one. From all the talk

believe he’s off to St George.

I can’t see Thompson at WT, I think he’s destined to wind up at Penrith as their long-term Fisher-Harris replacement.
as for May, I think it’s between us and the Dogs.

Thompson will stay at Newcastle now that they have offloaded Saifiti and signed his twin brother

You can never have too many props even in todays game,and @$300k seems value as a backup in a key position where we have very little....

If were paying $300k to another club to support Sullivan Id rather keep him ..we simply cant buy a near NRL (but not quite)6 or 7 for the balance of $200k,and when Douehi inevitably goes(either now or after next season) it puts Sullivan into the frame as no 4 half...he wld play probably a dozen games for us next season ,particularly with Luai on origin duty.One more injury and he gets a gig.
And besides,if he is unwilling to be reasonable on the payout(and thats what $300k is)...he can play out the best years of his career in KOE.We need a leader there!!!
Id rather pay out several of the lower priced kids who will never get close to NRL, and are in positions we have reasonable cover for

Great advice for under 6 kids, but as an adult, the bigger they are, the more it hurts.

Happy to hold onto Sullivan if Doueihi goes and visa versa. Need strong halves in cup. Paying Sullivan 300k of his 550k contract probably is similar/slightly more than what Doueihi is taking out of the cap so it doesn't really matter which one goes.
its all about what they save??that 300 they waste can be spread out amongst many/or several bargain buys.

We would miss Luai for just 2 games if he makes origin. Don't forget, Cleary will be back next year, so the choices will be Luai, Moses and Cleary. All will be playing 7 for their clubs...It could very well be Cleary/Moses combo next year.
To think Sullivan will play 12 games in a 24 game season is hard to imagine. Fainu will get games and if we need another half, Jack Bird can fill in for a few games. Sullivan is really surplus in a big way. We can redirect the $200k towards the forward pack and get value for the team.

Look at blokes like Radley and Martin. Pound for pound some of the toughest players in the game.

Both still on $300k pa
That’s how you get them to retire medically 😁

Understand that......but firstly you dont buy much for the $300k they save each year...and even if we did, Id rather save that $$ on paying out Tumeth/Felody/Matamua and several others who will never..ever... get close to NRL
Sullivan aint anywhere near that category,and he plays in a key position that is difficult to replace and he will be required at some stage
