Surely this is black and white.

So the scum apparently up their offer to $300000 to take Dopemax of our hands, thankfully was rejected

Plus take Matto off our hands. Might be the best we could do. $300 for Lomax and say $450 balance of Mattos contract and frees up cap space and a top 30 spot. Hardly a loss if we end up with SFA.

Matto has to agree and spoiler alert, he won’t.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Well we've obviously knocked back their revised offer. More power to us. Hope we do better than being able to puff our chest out and say "We won!"

For season 2026

Well how the f**k has Chiefy1 f**king won already FFS

 

[T-Boon]

Are we doing a prediction thread this year? Biggest surprise package, first debutant, best player, biggest disappointment, who wins the comp, where do Parra finish etc?

Please and thank you.

Best new idea.
Best advocacy for rule change.

f**k the transfer fee unless it counts against the Storms cap and comes off our cap. Im sick of hearing about this merkin. The issue is it opens a can of worms. What's stopping Moses saying I am retiring and waiting 2mths then have a change of mind and go to the Roosters. May as well scrap contracts.

Has Storm been in contact prior to his release? I assumed they had and that was the issue. Ive not read a lot on it in details

I was talking footy with some mates over a few beers recently and I mentioned at his best Fui was absolutely elite and I got laughed at.

He is criminally underrated by the broader league community.

I wrote a letter to "Boots & All", many years ago, in response to a comment made by Andrew Voss that "no forward has been as destructive as Sammy Burgess."

I attached highlights of Fui, mentioned some stats, and made a case that Fui was an elite prop - he basically laughed at me for comparing Fui, to Sam Burgess.

I don't care what people say - Fui was elite, and was just as important to this team as Hayne in our 2009 run.

Yet PV would have had him signed up last week , I think where in for a world of pain this year regarding officialdom , if it could get worse…..NRL would be pissed, but I’m wrapt we’ve given them the finger…fk em

Never question Voss he will always make you feel like an idiot for having a different opinion

Surely this is black and white.

I’d say if it’s just for a transfer fee, it’s nowhere near the amount to break the principle of it.

What I mean by that is, it probably isn’t clear cut decision, but $300k cash is worth the risk to us potentially getting nothing.

I reckon people are making too much out of NRL’s comments. They may have been the ones to force our hand a little, but ultimately if they cared enough, they wouldn’t have even commented. We’d have been in mediation day after news broke. No I think we’ll cop the same shit officialdom that’s denied us for 40 years, the rat bastards

And people are still trying to compare it to Galvin transfer like it’s comparable. One an Aus rep the other a near rookie, and then you check the last transfer fee Dogs paid - $500,000 FFS for Oloapu FFS! It’s enough to say don’t bother asking unless your offer is north of mill
