This makes no sense.
Firstly we weren’t flogged in that game, we applied the flogging in one of our best performances in a decade.
Secondly, why would Rowdy send a smart arse text to the chairman? Would they know each other enough to be that close?
Thirdly, Lee got the shits that we won and forced a very popular player out?
Fourthly, do the words “you can’t be happy with this” when we are winning so we’ll, infer people within our club think the board are tanking the season?

To me this is complete bullshit. However it does require confirmation from Chris.

Wow...

Imo, we need an entire new backline bar fullback for 2024

100% we do and I really hope that’s what they are working on.

100% we do and I really hope that’s what they are working on.

Losing a few duds like Talau & Laurie.
Then also losing a promising option like Staines.

Stuck with proven ordinary players like AJ & Naden.

Then we got Nofo, plays like he's got one foot out the door.
Inconsistent Toa.
And Tupou, who is struggling.
No real clear better options coming through that are genuine first grade ready.

... Staines was on a 1 year big money deal apparently.

Hopefully there's a plan & we're looking to make some massive upgrades because we're looking thin.

Hooper and co probably got their butt kicked for being trumped on the Fainu story by the SMH and Nine-hence the bitchiness.

 

[hsvjones]

Any updates on the Sezer signing or Croft etc ? Wonder who the experienced half will be as it's a must now.

 

[Odessa]

Yep

Mate I have a question for

The Fainus How will the cash they have join the club for effect the other great juniors we have most importantly the jealous managers of the great juniors do you think it will be a conflict and what about Bula on 120K this year

Yes the person who needs to go is Lee , he is a big mouth clown who bought his way in to his position , Board needs to start stepping up

I can't stand Benny Elias, but he did make a great point on 360. The major sponsor should never be on the board let alone the chair of it. If he does or wants something stupid the board are hamstrung to stop him because he's throwing money at the joint

SEN reporting this morning that Charlie Staines will be off to Parramatta next week. Via Vossy and Carryianis (?).

When we were playing without any spark in the beginning of the season he was the one with Tupou who looked most likely

Only ones I'd keep are Bula, Toa, Tupou, Staines and Douhi the rest should have already been put on ebay

That's a shame, he is good for the club. If he is going this year, perhaps the club is attempting to make space available in the Top 30?

AD should not be on that list unless you are thinking of keeping him as a centre.

That's sucks Who will be backup Fullback and also shouldn't we be upgrading instead of downgrading

 

[Tucker]

I’m a bit peeved Charlie has reportedly signed elsewhere.
We threw him a lifeline, got him out of reserve grade, looked after him for most of the year with injury…I thought he’d try and repay us?

Will have no effect, if the 4 million over four years for both is true then it’s not that much . Bula will get a good up grade as he should , as should pole . As we have said on here many times we need to pay overs to get them here , maybe this we bring more in

A lot of the good juniors coming through (Da Silva etc.) are managed by Mario Tartak who also manages the Fainu brothers.

I'd give him 2 years as a utility back

Do we still have cap from this year ? Can you pay a player who is not at the club yet with cap you have not spent yet ?

 

[Conbat07]

Massive loss Staines. Hopefully we can use his money to get Lomax! And another outside back because our backline bar Bula Is ordinary

 

[hsvjones]

Listening to Vossy on the Stains rumour he said it comes from a text on their hotline so most likely made up.

If the club is smart Bula will be extended and upgraded next year to a comparable deal
