Agree Stef is our best, but I don't want to keep him if the $900k is accurate. I would've preferred we went after AFB for that coin.Agree but Stef is the best we have at this stage
We really want to keep both long term
Why not? Need depth in the back row and he's an upgrade on Kepaoa.Should we look at offering Luke Garner another contract? After 2 years in the Penrith system he would be better equiped to be that dependable back rower that can play 80mins on an edge with a bit of strike.
How many of those players come from a background of winning culture? How many of them are playing for the jersey?Look at our list:
Our squad has been around and experienced a fair bit collectively. There are enough members in this squad who have lots of big game experience and/or have come out of the best clubs of the modern era.

There are too many players in this squad who know what they are doing for this team to lose as much as it does. Can it be improved? absolutely. However winning only 10 games from our last 60 starts is bullshit.
Also heard they are trying to get another year from Teddy and they will pay more then the Panther's for big DaveWell the Roosters aint going to win a premiership in the next 3 years either. Underperforming club with the roster they have. They start favourites every year, particularly with the journos, because they are all scared of Nick Politis and suckered in by Robinson's sermonic monologues. Does anyone else think he is a complete bore who loves the sound of his own voice?. I would rather listen to AFL coaches talk about disposals or whatever it is they call it than listen to TR.
I'd rather go for Bayley Sironen back from Super League. Can be a back-up backrower & lock on the bench for us and can even go into hooker, 5/8, centre if required. Plus a Tigers junior and also brings experience and effort.Why not? Need depth in the back row and he's an upgrade on Kepaoa.
AFB would have been 25% more than Stef, and we likely wouldn't have that money if Stef takes up his option. This isn't supercoach.Agree Stef is our best, but I don't want to keep him if the $900k is accurate. I would've preferred we went after AFB for that coin.
AFB wouldn’t have come here on that coin. Think he would have commanded 7 figures like Luai.Agree Stef is our best, but I don't want to keep him if the $900k is accurate. I would've preferred we went after AFB for that coin.
Nine of them have. Four of them have played in grand finals in the past 2 years.How many of those players come from a background of winning culture? How many of them are playing for the jersey?
Silly line hahaha.Nine of them have. Four of them have played in grand finals in the past 2 years.

Hi I call Bullshit and if your brother does work for the tigers he wont be there for much longer for leaking crap
I don’t have a brother.Hi I call Bullshit and if your brother does work for the tigers he wont be there for much longer for leaking crap
He hasn't particularly impressed but I've heard he can't train half the week due to a busted knee. Workload occasionally needs to be managed during games as well.Is Taumalolo no good these days? Haven't seen the cowboys play much and surprised he's #17. The guy was incredible and is only 30. Payten never seemed that interested in him. What's his form like? I'm sure Cowboys would be happy to offload his contract if they're playing him off the bench but clubs probably can't get near his salary.
He was brought up on almost second page on this thread a couple of years ago. The silence is deafening now.Is Taumalolo no good these days? Haven't seen the cowboys play much and surprised he's #17.

They have Lomax coming on big money, maybe he won't get the position or dollarsParras long term Fullback - He's not going anywhere....
About Money I'd reckon.
I think you would have to pry him out with a crowbar he loves living in Townsville and the warm weather last time I was up there was in town chatting to a friend and he went past us on a skateboardIs Taumalolo no good these days?

They were still a part of those squads. They came from those winning cultures and systems which was what we were discussing.Staines only played the 22 GF.
Naden 20 GF.
I would rather go for Jaydn Su'A from Dragons. This guys is a beast. I read he's off contract in 2025. Please sign him!Why not? Need depth in the back row and he's an upgrade on Kepaoa.
