Warriors are just producing Leka Halasima’s

Scary if Penrith get their hands on him

Bishop Neal also coming through, their pathways set up is incredible

If we're releasing him, why would we agree to contribute to his contract? Seems to me we would want his contract value for the player to replace him.

They just did this for JL right ? It’s not like they are opposed to the idea of it ? Maybe they think they have a better player they can get around the same leftover money?

If someone wants to pay the full freight for him than great…but I’m a little dubious

St George are going to have a problem in a few years holding onto all of their young forwards, especially keon on $1mill plus... hope we can jag one or two of them.. I suspect the coachman bros wont split up... so maybe we need to eye a Hamish stewart

I assume Blore isn’t going to St George …

Ray stone going to Penrith

shame

yes sir they said no

The fact the Panthers are interested in Seyfarth should tell you there is some value in him. Maybe he’s just a victim of our system. One of those players who could go to another level in a new environment. He’s shown glimpses over the years. Just has no consistency.

Yep much like Garner

It’s an odd decision for mine to take him on - a guy who is not playing consistently, and who can always get into the ear of other players about the money on offer ..even if he is not deliberately trying to recruit…. I think Parra might regret this move ….tells me Ryles is already feeling the pressure…lot of downside with limited upside

I think they are thinking the Moses/Luai halves partnership will bring them success next season and in all honesty, I think it probably will. Luai paired with a real halfback that can control the game à la Cleary and he will probably play much better.

Plus, despite their low position on the ladder, Parra have mostly been competitive in games this season. Injuries have played a big part in their losses, not disinterest or lack of competitiveness like us. I’m sure they will finish above us next season, unless Luai causes internal distractions like he has with us. I can’t see that happening though, that’s just how our luck rolls.

I think our big issue is we need to get to the top 8 urgent , it’s been so long it’s now a joke , if we don’t have the players to get there now and our juniors are still a couple years away we need to go shopping 2 and 3 year deals , I say Bunty and Hunt left who in our juniors is ready for 2027 if none go shopping , I hope we are looking as we have plenty spots to fill and we can not fill them with kids or blokes who we bring back from driving a fork lift or selling cars we need nrl ready players

I think we all need to come to terms with the probability that it’s gonna be a long time before we reach the top 8 again. Not that the team won’t try and supporters don’t hope of course, but it could quite well be up to 20 years running before we actually see it happening.

Mitch has been a match winner at times last few years .. getting a bit long in the tooth and seems to be chronically injured of late … tbey need him to have an injury free year next year… bottom 4 otherwise
