I think that's such a poor move, knowing the issues in the background.
Won't be in the plans for 2026 I'm guessing.

Iv said it 100 times he hold the ball when he should pass, he passes when he should hold it but when he reads the play right and passes the ball its way too early. Apart from jumping for bombs and in broken field play, his very average in attack.

I rated him, he was a tackling machine, no idea why we let him go.
He has become a great player
I've always liked him
I think the club backed a different player named Jakob Giles, who was somewhat similar to Stone so he left.
Giles never kicked on and plays grid iron now and Cenny Coast RL. Another one we got wrong, I guess. @batboy
I really think TDS is being short sighted with his stance on Api.
He has a great chance to be the future with Latu and the other brothers that are coming through.
I would let him go to the knights for 6 months to cover injuries for them if we get KPP now.
Then over the next 3 yrs Api 's minutes will reduce as his increase.
If it's a money thing surely we have $$$ to pump him up and incentives enough to stay long term.
Win win win

Speaking of Manly, they'll be fired up for us after this weekend.
Apparently, they put in an absolutely shocking performance getting out played and out muscled by the NRL Bye. 😉
How bout some fantasy land talk...
- TDS departs, signing with whoever offers him what he wants.
- Jeremy Marshall-King gets a release on passionate grounds & joins his brother, filling that #14 role for us, back up hooker/lock/utility ala Kurt Mann.

Just bad luck,
Giles was a much more likely prospect at the time - Just couldn't stay on the park...
I liked him, He was a big rangy thing.
That said, I always like Ray Stone too
- Can't keep them all, But the players we kept over Stone mostly weren't worth having.
Wouldn't have thought he'd still be here either way...
Another take on it.
Galvin leaves the club..
Everyone says how poorly the tigers are run and that Gus outsmarted us and got his man.
Then Latu Fainu gets his chance and shows us in just 30 mins at 7 (against the form team of the completion) that he is head and shoulders above Galvin...
And Gus was sitting at home last night wishing he had Latu over Galvin.
JMK would be the starting Kiwi 9 when fit you'd reckon....
Can't see him coming here to play second fiddle (No matter how much he loves his Brother)
They're in with a shot too - Building nicely.

I'd take Toby Sexton, if he's not promised a starting role.
Benji and the club need success in 2026... not in 2029... And success in 2026 can influence the success we have in 2029 with the impact on our ability to recruit etc
We lose a promising junior or two, so what.. we can just poach a promising junior or two from elsewhere when the time is right for us (like we did with Latu)... And Latu is better than Galvin and TDS from what I've seen.. that money we had offered Galvin, we should be offering Latu early/mid next year if he replicates what he has so far and remains injury free
Was thinking exactly the same thing last night while watching Latu in BOTH defence and attack
The kid is worth every cent
I'm OK if AD pursues other options. He doesn't look that interested, has a turning circle like the Titanic. Without his goal kicking he doesn't offer too much.
Nope, Latu any day. We shouldn't help the dogs out at all.
