After Sam was asking for 1.2 a season and seeing him let blokes run past his inside shoulder against the titians, png can have him.

That $ figure was scoffed at by Sam but a 600 contract at PNG is effectively 1.2

Sam said that figure was bs & he didn’t play in the titans game

Of course you need a side with balance and the right mix of players. That is obvious. I can also take your point that some polynesians typically play a powerful brand of football.

My pushback is your point that the Tigers have overloaded on Polynesian players. Which players are you referring to out of our top 17? Out of those that play a "power game" I see Pole, maybe Stef and maybe Ice. I just don't think overloading on power players is even slightly an issue at the Tigers. Our list of issues is much, much longer than that.

I do disagree that teams who overload on polynesians struggle. By my count peak Penrith has 10/13 starting players with polynesian and/or maori heritage, Storm 2020 had 8/13 players with polynesian heritage (if you count Olam). So your statement is objectively not true.

What's the 2005 formula? Just Benji and Paul, Dene and Bronson

After Sam was asking for 1.2 a season ,I hope he enjoys PNG

Not only has Sam said that wasnt accurate, the journal who reported it has since said he got it wrong. Try to be fair when criticising a player

Don’t forget Bronson Harrison, he may not of played in GF but he played a few games throughout the year.

Anyone else getting the feeling that Sam & Latu will sign with PNG ?

I don’t think they’re leaving. They’re probably just waiting for their agent to come back from suspension so he can get his commission from the contract. Which happens mid December.

I had to double check that because I didn’t remember him playing many, if any. He played 19. That’s crazy. He rarely comes to mind when you think of 2005. Come to think of it, the one try he scored that year, I think it came off one of the best team trys that season, against the Dogs.

How does 600k effectively double exactly?
I’d love to see the math on that.
People throw around these numbers on PNG like they’re the treasurer, they’re ridiculously inaccurate.

If that happens , we don’t have a replacement for Sam , and Latu could be anything is he remains injury free , we need to keep both of these

At that pay you get taxed close to 50%. I know what you are saying though, you can create a lot of pre tax things to lower your taxable income here.

We really don’t want to wait passed nov 1 , cause the pack will come after them

What's stopping footballers moving surplus money into their super account, tax benefits then, depending on their circumstances.

Don’t think James Schiller is the answer, but he has some toe. Might be a good signing.

Well, having just seen him score almost 100 tries in that clip, he did look good. But can he tackle?
