looks like Nathan brown is still coming to us

Provided Bird is leaving as per the mooted swap deal … all good,,,

Jesus Christ.

He can’t help us

For Bula a 3 year extension looks ideal to me.

He still has 2026, 27. You mean a new contract to the end of 2028?
If so, I agree.

 

[Tom Shines]

The offers to Stef, Galvin and Da Silva still ring in my head. And we survived without them.

No extension offer was made to Da Silva ? He was already signed to a multiple year deal when he was let go

 

[Vicious]

Cmon ..if they sign him it will be to replace Bula at 1…also..they haven’t paid Starford to play reserve grade…just accept it

I’m hopeful that Benji and Richo wake up in the middle of the night and think to themselves , wouldn’t it be nice if we finished in the top 8 for a change.

I guess if you dont like it, you could pay the hundreds per month for hosting and start your own forum?

'Hundreds per month' 😆😆😆

Is that my only option is it?

Why can it not be changed back? Specifically, why?

And, why, does @Kul not bother, even privately, to respond to respectful posters who would like to ask direct questions or query certain decisions?

Benji needs to be worrying more about coaching up the players already at the club …rather than about who they might sign …

People saying spend it on the midget Jye Gray are dreaming.

If Bula was to leave. He's a gun and has taken the fullback spot at souths.

Is replacing Jack Bird with Nathan Brown going to catapult us into the top 8 ?
Even Walt Disney couldn’t dream this **** up.
We plan to get rid of average players who are somewhere between position 16-20 on our roster and replace them with other average players who will only be somewhere between position 16-20 on our roster and that’s going to make the world of difference with our results?

 

[upthetigers]

Domino effect Nathan Brown might still be coming? I think he would be good off the bench.

Hopefully Benji is thinking hard about his career as a first grade coach too if he signs Tracey

Haha ..calm down mate… what’s the alternative ? Have Bird play NSW Cup all year instead? They asked him already to move on during the season right ? Benji clearly doesn’t want Bird in the NRL team

Like all omnipresent entities, the divine don't respond to mere mortals. That's the reserve for demi-gods like moderators 😀
His forum, his rules. All good by me.

Let’s get the champagne out, Souths get David Fifita, Manly get Davvy Moale and we get Nathan Brown.
Two rival clubs are dramatically improving their playing roster, while we are making a sideways move.

Incremental improvements my friend. If its an upgrade do it. We still need to land that big fish.

You have t answered my question, will this change catapult us into the top 8 ?

Piss weak, Mike.

Neither will playing Bird in NSW Cup all year ..that’s a worse outcome in fact

 

[upthetigers]

Vicious I like you buddy but you have to take your mind off footy sometimes or you will do your head in.

I know you just want the best for the club. But have faith in Richo and Benji.

All of the club's weaknesses we discuss on the forum have slowly been addressed. We're heading in a positive direction, can't you agree with that?

Depth was a problem. Now we have Madden in the halves, if Brown comes decent prop depth. Losing TDS has left a gap in the roster though.

Should be trying to play hard ball & get Laiafi who is free to negotiate in a week anyway. Brown had a good comeback year in 2024 but he looked completely washed before injury this season
