Well if he was dogging it then we are in a world of shit if the others players were doing their best.

I'll be watching and I'll thrive on it.
Looking forward to hearing Gordy's thoughts on it all.

Anyone think Stef might do a backflip and stay like Fifita?
I'll give you Brooks but SU has (IMO) less heart than Brooks.
By the way, I much prefer the Sandie Shaw version.

Gordon - modern day Socrates.
I don't remember Stef ever really having a break out game and announcing himself. Under any coach.
He's always just been a bit player that has somewhat flown under the radar.
Won't be missed.
Benji could do with some help
Improving the roster is always essential
Not a chance in hell. Fingers crossed I'm right.

Yes, so it looks like we will have:
Stef 800k
Papalii 700k
Bateman 670k
2.1 million+ for next year available for 4 spots if Bateman leaves according to @KingRobbie. Sione Fainu is not re-signed yet, so there would be 1/4 taken and not sure how much he would be on.

Ive always considered him a bench prop. Come on after the softening up period and do a job.
He has always been used wrong.

Those last 3 need to be cracking signings or its unlikely to be a good year again despite Luai.

You mite be right about the clubs prospects...seperate issue in many respects..
but Stefano has been given every opportunity and financial incentive to remain with the club that gave him a start..
In return,he completely failed us in his commitment both on and off the field,,never put in
No respect here

The comment from Richo is excellent. We need to change that they're off to a "better club" narrative to one that makes those moves look weak.
I hope it gets picked up by 360 and blokes like Cronk stop pushing that line.

Who cares ?? As if he is going to say anything that will undermine his reasons for leaving .. FFS he has played like a flog all season and I an embarrassed at his defence from the weekend. Piss him off to Aaron Payne , this week and give a guy a go that wants to play for us and lead the pack . I’m over the big sook
What's the parting shot? I can't see the article

Yeh. You are right.
Haha what a joke.
Yeah the coaches play a part but the guy has been nothing but a pillow for us and has show Jack all initative as a leader. I'm well and able to take a swipe at him, he has let us as a club and the fans down. He has been a myth of a prop

It's true. Depth is not good even with 3 brilliant signings. Realistically, we may get one good signing and a couple of fringe players then spend another year coming last or second last. In 2026 there is more on the market plus we have a lot of deadwood coming off contract.
I try to remain hopeful given clubs are always offloading players, but agree that as it stands, we need a miracle for 2026 regardless of who we sign to replace these guys.
