Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No-way hands off.
I am still enjoying yelling Helta Skelta at the tv, can we at least wait till the novelty wears off.
Seriously though unless they were offering him a lot more $ I’d be keeping him. He is the minimum standard we need.
Remember he is off contract Nov 1 and only on a modest contract with us $230k I think. If this new mob throw much much bigger $$$ at him, may be hard to keep him especially with Makasini coming through.

I hope he stays, just saying.
 
this forum is dreadful at times, negative about things that aren’t even relevant. benji literally talked about how tough he is with the playing group & he’s not in it to make friends and you think he wants to be besties with them all. yawn
The internet can be a place people come to channel the frustration that has built up in their personal lives. Take it with a grain of salt.

Good news WT pathways fans. Riley Oitmann locked in for '26 & '27 on what I assume will be a Jersey Flegg contract as he turns 20 next year. Lightning fast fullback/wing with good skills with hand & foot and a big boot despite his diminutive size. Good prospect in either the Ryan Papenhuyzen or Logen Dillon mould, hopefully more Papz.
Not really exclusive Zerotackle haha when his manager posted it a few weeks ago!

 
I think if this comp is genuine at getting off the ground , they should be looking at nov-feb and make it more big bash , than some poor man’s SL impersonation .
Most leagues both union and nrl arnt running at these times so it could easily fill a void in the calendar / offer a way for players to maximise their return whilst in Avery short period of time . I mean even someone like say Daine Laurie a few years ago when he was with us . He had a brief moment in the sun he could have cashed in , got a couple of mil playing bush league in Dubai , before the shine wore off .
For me it will be aging stars looking to cash in / fringe players looking to propel their profile.
Whilst it will affect the depth of most nrl / union clubs around the world , I can’t see it being more than a novelty .
Like I said hopefully it gets viewed similar to the big bash league where it has its place , so big wig billionaires for the Middle East and sub continent can wager bets and have a pissing contest for a few weeks a year , before everyone returns to normal .
I can’t see too many players going hard for Dubai vs Boston , in front of 10k people at most . I mean seriously …

He’s worth every cent of that but he ain’t flawless, I wouldn’t be going much north of another 50k. I love yelling Helta Skelta but I don’t wanna ruin our cap over it.
I hope he stays on a reasonable contract.
 
Any reasonable applicant would have been carrying out due diligence relating to retention prior to, or at the very least, since officially submitting their interest. They would not have been considered if they didn't address it at the interview stage.
I like the idea that the whole hiring process has been conducted with extensive interviews and the candidate considering what's right for their career, then on day one they turn up to training and say HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE PLAYERS YOU HAVE I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE BRISBANE BRONCOS and promptly walk out.

I’d like to see how he goes off the bench in the middle. We don’t really need a Talakai we have one already
