Alcohol and cigarette tax is a joke, they wouldn't need to tax as much as they do if they legalised and taxed weed, I'm surprised we're not like the USA where they tax players for pokie wins if you win more than a certain amount

Hey hey hey!!! Take it easy on the weed tax talk. We’ll have none of that. It’s hard enough going for the Tigers.

Frankly Benji is the best crisis manager in the NRL the way he fronts the media.

In the way that everything he does sends the club in a crisis?

 

[balmain boy]

I like Sukkar and he's continuously getting better.

Downside is Isaac is his manager.

He's great depth, tbh.
Samuela and KPP are the starters.
Then we've got Alex Seyfarth, Ethan Roberts and Sukkar as back up.

He'd be ok on a development contract. That's his level for us currently.

The problem with our depth is Seyfarth and Roberts are props, and Sukkar is a few years away from maybe being a Sam McIntyre type

funny how that press conference started some people talking again

- tony has been extended i believe, or if not its close, parramatta had a sniff

- caryananis reported samuela wants to stay, length of deal the issue , my source said it was for 4 years, could be a 5 year deal

- club has had talks with rocco berry

- moses suli has been offered to tigers and parramatta, st george willing to pay freight

Honestly I'd rather have Suli than Herbert as a backup in our squad. If we could get suli for 200k I'd be happy.

Likewise Berry on a low deal would be ok. Better depth than what we have

I’ll raise you Andrew Webster….

I find it odd that People carrying on like today’s Andrew Webster is the exact same one that moved on from the club almost 10 years ago, or that the club is solely responsible for him following Ivan to Penrith - like he was ever going to choose our head coach and roster over theirs?

Thanks legend. The league scene on twitter is reporting Berry has done a medical at the storm. Sulli at 200/250 would be okay. Not sure about his attitude

Suli is friends with the Fainu boys & Schuuster.

I know everyone dislikes him, but being around his friends could get the best out of him.

Think it'd be his last chance for an NRL career.
He'd be good depth.

Or the worst. He needs strong leadership and unfortunately he won't get that with us. A club like Melbourne would get the best out of him.

Going to Melbourne apparently 🙁

Going to Perth

With Averillo incoming and Samuela + Latu likely getting a top up, we'll need a few value for money contracts to round out our top 30.

Jake Averilo > Starford Toa
Jack Attard > Heath Mason
Tony Sukkar > Extension
Tyrone May > Jarome Luai / Mav Geyer
Suli Pole > Charlie Murray
Josese Lanyon & Jared Haywood > Top 30
Mellars & Kayliss from NZ > Lualilii brothers
Bunty Afoa > 1 year extension for depth
Sione Finau from Raiders > William Craig

Or look at some of the cup lads to see who's impressed and worth a shot.

That’s not a bad reload of players , Bunty extend only if we don’t go looking for a younger prop that we could lock up for a few years , Bunty for back up is good but his family didn’t come out from NZ if we were extending he should have been done so family could get hear , the other 2 from NZ I like

Tbh I don’t think Melbourne would suit him. Wayne Bennett is more his style of coach.

I don't dislike him, But the fact you're discussing 'getting the best out of him'
at 28 after 10 years in the game says a whole lot of something about him doesn't it?

I saw a few good performances from him this year under Dean Young.

There's no doubt he has an attitude problem of some kind.

2 Year deal, depth, Dragons paying some freight. Last chance before England awaits.

Worth a punt?

Unfortunately he would fit right in “ a few good performances “
I believe this is the sort of form Benji is trying to eliminate though. As evidenced by Toa been moved and talk of Royce as well

I think Royce has been great but we have overpaid him for the minutes he pushes out. Flicking him is to save some coin.

Rocco Berry sucks

Rocco Berry sucks

Throw him a T and T and a box of vapes.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

We need tough nosed, competent week in week out performer. We have too many flash harry's and no grafters like Ray Stone etc who can lead standards.

I like Ethan as a middle, i think another offseason/preseason in the gym and he will be a beast. Was carrying that foot injury in pre-season which has probably impacted his development.
