I love all Wade's, Egan went to warriors, think he will excel.

lol @ Katoa, what a dud buy.

I would not swap Wade Graham for any other, just a natural player, halfbacks nightmare when Wade comes for you, Cronk knows this.

So the sadism comment wasn't that? I get how my first comment was a rough but I did clarify that I don't want him to lose his career I just suspect the NRL will go that way based how things are in the NRL right now. Anyway I don't want to have an issue with you. Unless you're Cameron Smith.
No it was just me saying we are sadistic for the reason we all think May won't play next year, i feel there is way too much seriousness in overreading, plus overreacting in these threads lately, are we all on edge from the new signings?

I guess I am saying you have a bigger version of Wade, I want him, or you keep him, so no to Manly or Roosters.

Yeah I know what you are sayin, wade is quality and Burton could be similar having it all between the ears but playing as a forward, but I just don't see him filling out like that unless he really tries to.

Either way, I look forward to watching.

I think a part of it is tone is really hard to convey properly in text. I think if we were having a verbal conversation we'd be fine. For example some of the people here are my favourite people to interact with.

The club has been beating itself up about letting Wade go. Personally I see Burton eventually doing a wade type job at probably lock. It wouldn't shock to see him used as super sub in 2020 as he gets used to the NRL.

If Lui does really well at 6 I can see Burton holding down the lock's position. In my opinion he is going to be something special.

I think the club learnt some painful lessons when Wade left.

I don't see May playing with the club this year. The furture for him is quite uncertain.

So was our other poach Luke Lewis..

Haha he was a problem.

I want to clone that guy.



I'm not sure that Lewis was thrilled when Ivan arrived. At the time he was said to be (pretty high maintaince). I have no idea whether this was true or not. This came from sources at the time. He was on a crazy contract worth huge amounts of money. Whether this factored him into being seen as high maintaince I have no idea.

Luke wanted Matty Elliott to stay as coach of the club, something that was totally untentible for the club and the board, never mind Gould.

He was a good / great player. Perhaps played a year too long (in hindsight) injuries and father time got him in the end.

Elliott didn't want him. Sadly powers within the club believed him.
