Don’t know why people are getting upset with Dylan or his management. The kid took the best deal. I would’ve as well. His management were doing their job and getting him the best deal.

our management on the other hand allowed it to happen by putting this clauses in. Yet they get off from any criticism. The CEO “nobody Jim” and O’Neil are responsible for Dylan going.

however their incompetence has allowed us to get rid of the most overrated overpaid players in our history. They have been kissed in the pecker.
He didn’t leave because of the PO, he left because he was off contract. If he had stayed it would’ve been because of the PO.

I don't think this is too far removed from reality to be honest, and this was ultimately going to be the consequence of f**king off the last coach.

As I posted above, I think we're going to curry favour with Isaac Moses now. I can see he is about to have a significant influence on our fortunes going forward...

He has a stable of talent to pick from...his biggest client is his cousin and our Captain.

We'll likely sell our soul to the devil, but he is also likely the easiest pathway into Premiership contention.

The reality is, Jason Ryles is f**ken nobody at this stage, but Mitch and Isaac Moses are somebodies when it likely matters.
The only way I see having sold out to Moses is if the injury is a real career risk. Because other than that, his only angle is breaking contract, and when’s that going to be? 2-3 years? How likely is he to find a replacement contract for the same value then?

I expect the quiet and not exactly cheap expediency of resigning has been more hearts & minds from the agent. I expect will see his players linked to us and that’s where he’ll really try to cash in with us.

Maybe we should change our name from LU to ConspiracyTheories.com.
A great idea. Here is one I came up with after reading a non fiction book written by Ion L Idriess (who should be a national treasure) titled Lasseter's Last Ride.

Pine Gap is also the location of the vast reef of gold that Lasseter claimed to find in that area.
It was promised to the Yanks in return for a successful defeat of Imperial Japanese Forces in the South Pacific.
Kept secret from the Australian public to avoid the ensuing revolt.

Seriously mate, move on.

would ihelp if the whole site acknowledged that you were right all along and that POs were the right course simply because that’s what the club did?

can we move on to speculation and hot tips as to whom we can buy to build the squad?

my thoughts are that at the end of this year we will lose brown, Cartwright, lussick, Dunster and ofahengaue - conservatively that has to leave us with about 2.6m-2.7?

Not sure about availability, but I reckon these wouldn’t be bad replacements and may be talented players seeking opportunity:

pezet
Harry Hayes/ Harrison Hassett
Mozer
Stonestreet
Lazarus Vaalepu

I think you could make attractive offers to swing all of them out of their current clubs in terms of money and opportunity - might even be able to add a Trey Mooney…

just trying yo show that the rebuild is closer than some think and that Hindy111 might be right in his estimate that we will rebuild quicker than the dogs or tigers

The club can do no wrong, until they reverse course on something they did no wrong with

Would it make you happy if we just say he was right and we can move on from POs

I know you want to defend him from the mean bullies, but can we move on from POs?
I'm not defending him but rather laughing at some of the irony in this place where posters keep going with comments and posts, knowing full well they will trigger a response from him... and then complain when he does.

I am happy to move on from "that" subject and have been for ages. I actually understand why we offered them when we did and why we are no longer focussed on them.

Curious on your thoughts on where the club heads in the recruitment space

I know you speak to people at the club and curious if you have any idea where they are heading
