When's the last time any merkin left our club and went any good?Does anyone remember Nathan Peats? How good was he..I was devastated when we lost him. Couldn't believe it.
Look how his career turned out.

Every premiership winner was once a non-premiership winner. These guys consistently get us to the finals and this year we performed quite well. I reckon they're finally getting it together as a leadership group.You’re right. Keeping experienced premiership winners Gutho, RCG and Nrown will keep those premierships rolling.
Those guys will all run the ball 10-20 times a game. Mahoney might do it five times.Yes, but we offered him probably what he was worth, others just offered ridiculous overs.
Anything less than something that starts with a 6 is lowballing Mahoney, and he knows it.
If we weren't prepared to pay him something that at least started with a 6 we can't expect him to stay.
To be honest in the current climate, something beginning with a 7 is not overs for probably one of the top 5 hookers in the game.
Edge backbones who can't tackle, Kikau and Leilua, are reportedly going to get $800k and $700k respectively. Niukore is getting something that starts with a 6! In fact Niukore and Mahoney are likely to earn around the same for 4 years from 2023....

Gus said eariler this year apprantley no one has been underpaid when he has worked at a clubit will be interesting to see how Matt Burton feels with all these massive contracts being handed out to his new team mates. Bulldogs got him for a bargain 350-450k. You have a hooker on 700k and all these second towers on 800k. He’s going to be feeling ripped. Burton will be a brilliant 5/8 and commanding 800k-1 mill. He will not be happy!
If I had a bitcoin for every time you said that phrase…chasing the the collision
And if had a Bitcoin every time Bea Arthur said the phrase.If I had a bitcoin for every time you said that phrase…
All his proof is in old copies of Big League.

But not close to the alleged $800k that Bennett allegedly is alleged to be about to offer Paulo.

Not happy about losing Mahoney and the other 2 but......
It's not the end of the world. Over a season ago Reed was establishing himself as an NRL player and the other 2 were just fringe players and/or NSW Cup players. BA turned them into very good players so much so that other clubs were willing to pay overs for all 3.
No reason why he can't do it again, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
2023 is a fair way off and we gotta get through 2022 yet.

Keep hoping.Who saw us winning the spoon in 2018???
