If Bennett couldn’t get him right …will we ?

I mean… the man management stuff is what he does ..

Chubbs Schuster - Train and Trial only.

And instead of getting a man of the match Big Mac certificate he can get a certificate to that Oliver’s place and enjoy some soggy shitty carrot chips.

If he can find his feet again, he would really fix our problem at Lock

He would be minimum wage, likely to fit into our culture

Give him 2 years, an extra year in our favour and see how he fairs?

Just cant see it mate. He's had his chances and just not been able to manage it. He is fragile and seems to easily loose will for whatever reason. I dont want to see anyone fail but in this case- let some other club take the chance,

So much money at a young age must be hard if you have no one helping you the sense of entitlement you can see in the way he plays he needs to hit rock bottom to get the hunger back

Maybe he needs to watch Rocky 3

I don't think we have the space on the roster to take that risk.

I mean sure, hand someone like that a TRain n Trial. Particularly if you start with the big pre-season we did last year, you can hammer out slackers pretty fast.

If the guy is fit, he can play. He would definately fit this mould of athletic forward.
He is not fit.

Have you seen the new Toyota's in the USA you have to pay $30 a month subscription to use the GPS and music player

And in England they are talking about changing you to drive your own car on the road

Yeah...
If that's true, and that sounds highly unlikely, then it would merely be an attempt for Toyota to pass on Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon's absurd tariffs in a different manner to just raising the prices upfront.

luai absolutely world class for samoa wow

Really? I disagree. He was quiet performance wise. Junior Paulo a clear mom

Thoughts on Bula for $750k for 5 years? Seems like a win win to me.

 

[innsaneink]

brent read said we had a meeting with bula this week and tigers walked away feeling confident that he wants to stay, apparently we want to lock him up longer than 2027 hence not activating the option. hopefully comes to fruition

Hopefully it happens.
5+ year deals are usually a bit risky...id go 4 max

I thought Benji didn’t want him before, what’s changed ? He’s gone to Bennett and no difference.
I’d be very surprised if that happened.

No just no, he's failed too many times and our track record with problem players isn't good.

Spare a thought for the poor forum, if he landed here and didn't deliver it could create more pages of ridicule than Luke Brooks did, oh dear oh my.

Holy crap, are you really that naive? He's been a complete failure due years, hasn't played first grade in ages.

At best, maybe one club will offer him a train and trial. No one will offer him a top 30, especially not a multi year deal.

This has been the case for weeks and months. Nothing changed, we just need to get the deal done

Imagine having Junior Paulo for your mom, F me hide the wooden spoons.

It would be uncommon for a player to sign such a long contract on a pretty average wage for a starting player wouldnt it?... especially a Moses client

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Yeah - although he does want to play the Cook Islands every 2nd week to look good.

As always comes down to contract value and roster spots. If it's min wage and we still have multiple spots left, I'd be keen. If it was the last spot, I would not.
Id much rather have a guy that IF motivated can not just perform at first grade level but be one of our better players (and completely understand it is a very big if), compared to a guy who isn't really up to first grade level on his best day but may be able to do a job if desperate.
Probably unlikely to work out but we have a few things in our favour including some of his childhood mates at the club.
