Happy New Year All !!
Here's hoping for a very promising & successful 2021.
Couple Of Things:
Nofoaluma talks are progressing/promising, the sticking point is most certainly the 3/4 year deal side of things, club recently came back with a counter offer of a 4 year deal but the 4th year being in the clubs favor, this was submitted in the last couple days.
Madge/Club really liking the looks of young Allan Fitzgibbion, every chance of snagging a top 30 spot on minimum wage for 2021, only concern is attitude/application towards doing the extras needed but club surrounding with the right people to get him on track.
Panthers still not playing ball in relation to Laurie, but the club will keep a top 30 spot open for him till it has to be filled.
Remaining spot looking to go towards a utility forward/lock.
Mbye has had some discussions with clubs north of the border over the break & would like to move back to QLD but nothing solid yet to come from it. Also Walters to Brisbane talk won't go away, if that does eventuate the club will look for another utility half type for depth purposes, no names yet if this comes to fruition.
Also Cini still likely to leave the club but the spot would more likely be filled with a train & trial player like Tyrone Roberts-Davis
Noted thanks for the update, Much appreciated.
Few questions if in the know will clarify team in 2021.
Nofoaluma that's a fair offer club option 4th year would be sticking to this offer interesting about Souths but now signed Mansour still think Eels more likely if not WT.
Looking at recent training pic body language was not promising did not seem his usual happy self.
Is there any deadlines on the deal?
Laurie then next season optimistic if was 2021.
Utility forward or lock finalizes the forwards, next season will be about the backs and strengthening a number of positions.
Nil surprise on Mybe looking around has not played great football in 2020 ongoing knee issue, good utility pick up for another Qld club is from Nossa.
Also does not seem happy playing under Madge.
There was some talks with new brisbane proposed club of being there 1st captain but fell over with COVID and league deciding not to expand.
Has a decision been made on replacing him as Captain with Tamou in 2021?
Walters talk linking to Brisbane but that will only happen at the end of this season this makes sense for playing future and also confirms 2022 will be about signing backs not forwards.
Will Simkins start over Liddle this season?
Assume Brooks on Notice to perform?
