yeah dont think backflipping is a thing these days, if anything prob see's limited opportunity with Nanai and Luki

It’s not a position of need for them and they were desperate and paid too much . Circumstances have certainly changed.

He will knock us back

He already has….don’t take the bait

that's a shame lol, i get the vibe that he's happy at the tigers for some reason honestly sad to see him go he's one of my favourites in the team

A friend of mine told me luch is interested is interesting in backflipping on the cows & re-signing because he's interested in the idea of playing next to ipap? I called bullshit but thought I'd ask it here to see if theres any substance to it

Sounds like chinese whispers, if true the journos would be all over it. 😀

Apart from 2021 he’s been good here too. Better than most Hartigan jobs.

When he signed for the cows he probably believed he was a certain starter,with the form of the 2 young blokes that is not certain anymore.I would still say it was unlikely as i can't imagine our club paying 700k especially when pap will be on less and is a better player

I would like to see us go for Tapine and Crighton. Add Koriseau, Papalli, Stefano and that is the foundation of an extremely good pack.

Absolutely a great pack

a backrow pairing of ipap & luch would be one of the best in the comp

Who's on third?

Either Abbott or Costello.

What are people's thoughts on Herman Esse Esse, off contract and big bodied with an offload in him. I think he would be cheap and a good project for Madge, a bit like Lucy.

Released by two cellar dwellers. Not good signs.

I guess the question is do the cowboys feel similar. Wasn’t there talk they want him early? Prehaps the other two props have taken off quicker than expected and even they (cowboys coaching staff) are not sure of the benefit of Luch on a big contract. Especially if it means losing Drinkwater who would most definitely have to be Dolphins bound if NQ don’t resign him.

Could always start the rumour. The Cows now have serious talent that they need to retain in LL's position. They can't afford to have Luch on 700k and not have him as the main man. They already have JT on a mill Townsend on 800k and who knows what Val Holmes is on.

Possibly Nanai in 2024

Tbh I think he might of got his nose out of joint we didn’t take up his brothers option and then the cows came in with silly money. If he had his time again maybe he stays but then we may not have gone for Papalli. Seems happy I agree didn’t throw his toys out of the pram Moses or Matterson style.

Not that the original source has any likely credibility, but if the cows did want to renege on Lucy's contract then we'd need them to chip in 100-150k a season for us to sign him.
They signed him on a big money deal, he won't take a pay cut and we won't match their ridiculous offer. If they want to save 700k it'll cost them 150k a season, or 400k up front
