Zero chance we get Tino. Good chance he goes to the Storm. I thought for a while he’d go to the Bears, but nah. I don’t see the Bears making a big dent in the player market. The Dolphins didn’t when they came in and they had Bennett. Don’t know if many marquee players will be that keen on moving to the other side of the country. And even fewer will be interested in moving to PNG when they come in.

The great thing about the youth is that the day will come where they will be the ones out of touch.
I'm worried by today's youth, easily influenced by idiots....
Yes. But I heard the godinet family are very happy with the club , and the way it’s looking after Phoenix. Same with the Makasini clan .
The Galvin family had moved their son from club to club , at all levels , always searching for the best opportunity . In hindsight , it was inevitable that would happen in the nrl . But it’s easy to Monday morning quarterback.
Exactly , 5 years ago I thought I was still considered young . Now at early 40s they call me old .
For me , from the outside looking in , his manager negotiates multi year contracts with opt outs , which puts enormous pressure on the club to make short sighted decisions. It’s a very LeBron James negotiation style. Only he’s not LeBron , and this isn’t the nba , where 1 guy and bunch of middling players can get you far.
If your best player is a middle forward on the most money , you’re not inning anything . Nor are you by signing up 4 fullbacks and shoe horning them into other positions .

Lachlan Ilias on the verge of signing with the Titans.
Well they are 3rd in NRL and over the Storm to be fair
Brand value doesn’t mean much in terms of on-field performance

Don't get me started on influencers, a bunch of pied pipers and a lot of them are looney birds.
What's wrong with the old more sensible way of thinking for yourself.

It means very little really just you're being awkward or unintentionally funny - like " how did you find Lestronge"? - the reply "67" - that's how it was explained to me.
Did I just cop a stray ? I feel like I did haha !
Which is my point . It’s diabolical that with all the brand recognition , clicks , exposure and simply fan volume , that a club like the eels would be that much more valuable .
Do you have resting [This word has been automatically removed] face ? I’ve been known to have it at times … I’m really mindful of it now . Especially if I’m genuinely pissed about something.

No, I'm not working now that usually removes the scowl from your face, most of the time I'm a relaxed approachable dude, unless I haven't been sleeping well.

Yeh, centres are skinny, they'll have to replace a Sua as deputy when he moves up. Anderson will need to be replaced, as will another backup/bench prop for Tui. Then there's the funds tied up in Munster and Hughes too.
I'm not saying they can't, but to your point, the 3/4 line needs a bit of work still too. Ditto for backups to Warbrick and Coates.
Meh, it'll play out I guess.
Just hate the rich getting richer.

They used to.
Roosters aren't what they used to be in that regards, thank god.
The shine is off the apple (a little).
