Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Believe it or not,

Coming through the juniours - Toa was considered a better prospect than Bradman Best.


Sorry .. cant believe it… that’s just too wild… Toa has played 1 decent game in his NRL career … he may not be in First Grade if/when Olam gets here

Given Tupou is leaving I’d think it makes sense exploring what the Dolphins might be open to giving up to get him now
They have a ridiculously strong set of outside backs
Isaako, Farnworth, Averillo, Niu, Aitken, Hammer, TeWhare
Even Niu or Aitken might be improvements for us
Niu I'd take. Definitely no for Aitken
 
Just my opinion, but it makes more sense that the core coaching staff in Benji, Morris and Farah should be in control of our recruitment and retention with assistance from Shane Richardson when required,
We only really need someone with their hands on the pulse to do the recruitment and retention for our pathways up until and including Jersey Flegg.
Warren McDonald where are you.......

Yep. I remember him having good games for
the Knights too b4 coming over. Consistency
& maturity has always been the issue. Big year
from him coming up I hope. He's got the tools

Personally i like this way too. The onus is on the coach and support staff.

However even though the coach can go after who they want, there needs to be another person in there when discussing the contract numbers. Des Hasler is a prime example of having full control but putting the cap way out of wack for the next 4 years.

Let Benji go after his players but have a system in place where he does not have control on how much or how many years without outside votes.
