TDS doing that Terrell May salute after his try implies to me that he's really buying into the culture and people here. I think he may well want to stay and make allowances for the Club.
(this is, of course based on body language which is not an exact science...)

Might be a reference to the Anzacs also.

Yes but I’m talking about value for money.
I’m purely speculating and think Talyn would likely stay with us if we can match other offers, but what is his value at the moment ?
Even if we decide to keep Api after 2026, his contract value would be reduced due to his age.
If we were to extend Talyn for 2027 and beyond, would you go any higher than 400k per season ? I couldn’t justify going higher just yet.

Im keeping TDS over Api in 2027.

To paraphrase that advertisement: Why not keep both?

Api cannot be our starting hooker as of 2027. If we do keep him it would have to be on a vastly reduced contract as our 14.
I would have no problem keeping Talyn as our starting number 9 by then, but the contract value is the question. These young players want to be paid on potential, but it’s risk to pay them too much in case they do not live up to their potential.

just as Simpkin n Liddle , if we don't have club strategy to sell the local talent ,its probably cheaper in the long run to buy in top shelf mercenaries

Refs boss needs to be hit with a frying pan with moderate force.

Think Simpkin and Liddle are both fringe first graders*altho both played well at we),mostly because they had little vision and decepton..and neither threw a great pass tbh
TDS is a big step up...we think
A lot depends on how good the next talent coming thru

Some sin binnings are embarrassing
The slightest of high tackle and gone
An accidental slap in the face gone
Even Mulitalo milked the slap in the face - lost the challenge

The ones where they go back 4 tackles are the worst. That’s messing with the integrity of the game giving teams a do over. The whole thing is very amateur.

The Fonua Pole sin bin is an example
Ref pauses the game
Stops momentum
Game is becoming soft

point being no point breaking the bank until they've earned it .Both Simpkin Liddle have mildly improved since they left. And both players the club let leave, thats all

wish they could keep it consistent across 2 halves of a game ,and treat every team the same
