Staines may have speed, but he certainly does not have a sidestep, give him the ball and he only knows one way, straight ahead, if someone is in front of him he will get tackled.
Useless.
The best game I've seen him have was a couple of years ago against us, he scored 2 tries.
Haven't seen him play that good since.
And yes he did not have a bad game against Knights.
BUT,
NOR DID HE HAVE A
GREAT GAME.
Well, I saw we were paying Steph Nine hundred thousand, so you are saying Saifiti Brothers get more than that, and Frizzel about the same, so for 4 players including Ponga about 4.5 mil maybe. And we can't afford anymore players.
And little Brooksy scooped up I'm not sure if it was a Dolphin's loose ball or he intercepted the ball, on the Manly 10mtr line,
And he was into the clear and off on his own but 3 or 4 Dolphin players caught him around the Dolphins 40, he looked like Nufo did at the end, lost his speed.
Might find player to do same job for far less outlay. Every Newcastle forward showed same or better effort than Steph but none of them get anywhere near the money Steph gets.
Penwff offered 2 and a half mil over three years for Fifita,
Rorters Offered less rorters get him, Titans admitted today his new option was 1ml per season for another 3 years.
But there ya go another big name player willing to sacrifice maybe $750,000 over 3 years to play with East.

And the most annoying thing is it should not take over 20 years for our team to become a force again. Benji will do everything he possibly can to make our dream become a reality, because he has the same dream.
Richo and Benji have got to clear out quite a few unwanted players, and purchase some...
A trip used to be pretty bad to, But it seems its not being even a penalty makes it a pretty good safe way when making a tackle these days, just stick out your leg,
It's getting to risky making a tackle these days.
Penalties for a multitude of things when you get to involved in in a tackle, but...
Tell me when in his time with us we have Seen him beat his opposite winger and go tearing down the sideline with that great speed he possesses, if it was once, I missed it.
And when defending he seems to be not there.
Sorry, but I would rate him as one of the worst Wingers in the NRL.
For the life of me, I don't understand how many times We see players like Zac Lomax do what he does, totally destroy us pretty much on his own.
Yet we new he was up for sale and we could not even make the effort to make him an offer.
And Parramatta get him for a supposed 4 years for $200,000 a...
Balmain and West's were two of the original 1908 competition teams, 116 years ago, reckon we deserve the money we were promised by the government previously, I thought it was $75ML but then it was taken away from us, and Funnelled back to the Penrith Grant. Of $300ML.
We even got to see what...
Talk yesterday by one of our newspaper reporters about getting rid of leichardt, as it can no longer cater to NRL games
anymore, and should be eliminated from the game.
I watched our game and saw The crowd ( all standing ) on the hill, and the commentators saying the game was sold out, but...
