Speaking of Toby,
Anyone seen this by The Hello Sport fellas?
I've linked it to the starting point of the Toby story.
It's a bit of a shitter.....


Oh my god, Bubby. That’s almost salvaged what we’ve had to endure as fans of this club this season.
Hilarious!

Which reminds me.
Back in the day, pre-1990, I worked with a dude who had an idea for Football Supporter Colostomy Bags. You could buy a colostomy bag in your team’s colours.

Penrith came in clear.

Toby can go for 2026, would help with cap.
They guy is all heart but if you seen him sunday he was blowing after 20 minutes..
I don't think he will ever be fully fit, and he can find a injury and a shocker.
He is someone hopefully we can replace internally, or if go to market get same minutes and metres for half the price

Toby is better off the bench for mine. Brings good energy and leg speed off the bench. Having said that…. Both him and BHU are dispensable. 500k is probably overs for guys that only play 20-30 mins most games. One of them needs to go next year and the other in ‘27. Need to keep WK for next year given Ison didn’t play this year and Dykes has moved on.

I would let WK go, Hiroti can cover fullback whilst Ison up to speed.
Even see what else is around on the cheap

Nah I wouldn’t for 1 more year. He is statistically one of the safest fullbacks under the high ball. We don’t have anyone ready to go nor the money to go into the market for anyone decent for at least a year.

We need depth in the backs. If we can get WK on the cheap you do that deal.

Competition is good for the Club.
If any club really wanted Kennedy he’d have signed by now, so we shouldn’t be paying overs.

Especially if you go through every current team , very little have a need for a fullback where Kennedy is a big upgrade or upgrade at all.

Even the worst clubs don’t need one, in fact that’s their least issue.

In fact the only team is really the Dogs and he’s not a big upgrade and they have Dykes now too.

He should be shown the door he has not improved if anything gone backwards.
He plays worse when we get to finals.
I would be seeing as is off contract Daine Laurie for one year deal can cover outside backs, it would also show rest of squad that you are replaceable, as most have been here year on year

Think you’re dreaming Stake… I like Dane Laurie but he’s on 800k apparently. Will is on 400k and apparently we’ve only got 300k allocated for him.

There is zero chance Dane Laurie went back to the Panthers from the Tigers on an 800K deal.

He was signed by them for depth, not a top 17 position let alone a starting position.
