Lmao. Typically he is mentioned along with WT. where as probably spent the bulk of his career at Brisbane.James Roberts is a ticking time bomb. I don't think it will be long before he brutally assaults someone.
Not bad send this over in case he misses something , nice to do listWhat a fly on the wall of Fulton's office is hopefully picking up on atm ...
1 - Working on extensions for Uto, Tupou & Blore
2 - Resigning Staines & Seyfarth
3 - Feelers out to other recruitment managers for interest in Jake Simpkin, AJ Kepaoa & Nofa
4 - Sussing out the managers of Xavier Willison, Josh Addo-Carr & Dane Gagai for potential releases from their clubs & Josh Curran (as a Blore contingency)
5 - Preparing Nov 1 offers for Jarome Luai, Taylan May & Kuli Finefauiaki from Cows (as a Blore contingency)
6 - Working out best option as a hooker utility if Simpkin departs between Karl Lawton, Cade Cust or a return for Nu Brown

That was the rumour but nothing confirmed.Thought Seyfarth had extended already?

Still no contract for 2024.
I think Twal is more valuable than Keppie.
Twal's YoY improvement has been a pleasure to watch, even bringing an offload into his game this season. His tackling percentage, metres per carry and post contact metres, AND his minutes are all higher than Keppie.
More importantly, he gives away less penalties as well.
There is aggression, and then there is controlled aggression. Keppie falls into the former.
He is a penalty merchant, and as one of the most penalised teams in the NRL last season, I think that is the last thing we need.
Twal is also rolling into his prime years as a prop. Stats don't tell the whole story but there is much more upside in retaining Twal on a team friendly deal, than bring Keppie in.
Great decision.
29/30 spots filled at the moment.Probably have to clear some space, a few spots need opening up imo.
Twal hasn't really had much impact.
Just wondering where impact is magically going to appear from.
Twals extension might mean Seyfarths exit .. especially now we're 29/30 filled
Does this mean that Twal becomes a 10 year vet in 3 years thus providing salary cap relief thereon?
I actually thought his comments were fair. We only upgraded Bula's contract earlier in the season. Sure, great projectory, but what's the harm in holding out to see how he starts next season? We've all heard of second year syndrome.Balmain boys whine about bulas contract was one of the most ridiculous posts Iāve ever seen on this forum,,, and that is saying somethingā¦ like, all that drama is not really our problem to whine about , they get paid well,, deal with it,,, and Bula is a rising star we needed to keep , desperately!
Yes but it after only 8 years for a one club player. But you only get one payment, not one payment per player qualifying so is kind of redundant as every club would have someone who qualifies.Does this mean that Twal becomes a 10 year vet in 3 years thus providing salary cap relief thereon?

At times this season, I thought he had the best go forward which wasnāt really the case in previous seasons. I like that he is still developing his game so am pleased with his re-signing at a reportedly lower price.Twal hasn't really had much impact.

Keppie is too undisciplined. Carries on a like goose gets binned and puts his team under pressure. Twal lacks the aggression but at least he works hard for his minutes. Fulton will have to do better than that to prove that the disruption was worth itJust on keppie.
It was a benji call to prioritise twal over keppie.
Personally, I question the recruitment decisions as keppie brings aggression to the pack.
Apparently this review will result in benji getting more power. Also questionable, but will die on hos sword.

Twally kind of reminds me a Bryce Gibbs who I think Sheens referred to as his āminister of defenceā mostly for his efficiency and effort plays around the ruck. We went backwards when he left.
