So in round numbers, from memory, we offered this:

Brookes (originally) $600k
Moses $950k
Woods $950k
Teddy $1mln.

We re-signed Brookes at $550k
Replaced Woods with Matulino $450k
Replaced Moses with Reynolds for $850k

Instead of paying Moses for potential we are paying Reynolds for SOO and GF experience.

We still need a fullback - but we are already over $1.6mln in front.

Better players for less? Nice.

I'm so happy with where the club is heading.

It would be even better if we could resign turn coat Tedesco, but I'm not holding my breath and it doesn't concern me much anymore if he goes - still buzzing with all the positive energy this club is bringing in

I reckon we got Reynolds for $750k so put another $100k in the kiddy. Matulino is apparently $475k.

I'd love to sign Turdesco for a cool $500k but it not we can go and get another player. Then I'd like to see some outside backs and another prop.

Apparently Ava could be off to Cronulla. I hope this isn't true as we really need to ensure we have a strong prop rotation.

This Issac Moses has screwed his players over.

Shrewd roster building here. We all knew Ivan is capable of this as he did it at Penrith. Cut the grand spending and brought in above average talent on sensible money. Champion teams instead of teams with a few champions.

Gone from being the ship of fools to being on the bus in a matter of weeks.

Is that Matulino money you stated correct ($450k) or is that a best guess.

not worried about Ava 05..
He hasnt progressed in 3 years so we need someone with more mongrel.
seems like nice gentle giant to me.

This is what I think. We are looking good but we need a strong squad. I reckon Ava is great. If he goes we just need to get another prop.

Altho as ive mentioned in another thread i still have high hopes that Jordan Grant progresses to the next level. He looked real good last year and has a bit of an xfactor particularly attacking near the line.

I know this an impossible question to answer, but....
Does anyone think we would have had the wins, we have had under IC with Tosser Taylor?
I personally can't see it, not all of them anyway.

No way. We also wouldn't have been able to attract quality players like Reynolds and Matulino.
