    Rumoured Targets 3

    100% The Rorters are either admitting they don't know what they're doing with retention and cap management or May has done something pretty bad. I think the latter is the best bet.

    No evidence, but they're certainly now in the market looking for a front rower, and he certainly fits their usual recruitment criterion, young, looks to have a bright and long career ahead of him. To let May go immediately, he's done something unforgivably bad or they're pretty confident of...

    You and a few carnival barkers from facebook aren't "pretty much everyone" champ. His re-signing, or signing elsewhere is no doubt imminent . I'm sure there's huuuuge demand. :rolleyes:

    Not my rankings - it's a list of random starting 5/8's at other clubs, and quite a reasonable question to ask you how you derive the fantasy that Gamble is anything other than a back-up 5/8 in any competitive team in the competition. ....and you cannot answer . I'd say a 20 yr old Blaize Telagi...

    Now you are taking the piss, I was unaware there was such competition for Gambles signature. How luck are we. I bet Panthers don't agree with you.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    No club has top pick in multiple positions. But no competitive club has a fringe first grader, 28 yr old journeyman with 63 First Grade games in a key halves position.

    That's not the discussion. Posts have been regarding assembling a quality spine to win a Premiership. Gamble is a cup player and quality back-up in a competitive roster. Your claim is Gamble is better than that. Ok Please tell me in what competitive roster in the comp is Mr Gamble a starting 5/8.

    LOL - Well you should, because where Gamble falls on that list is indicative of our place on table........fighting it out for a place in the 8 come seasons end - and we now have a new recruitment guru to rectify it. Your post claimed Gamble is better than a cup player. Well there's the list...

    Only a few games with Storm + interviews with his teams mates + media mentions. Ponga arrived on some serious coin for a rookie , I'd think it will take similar to pry Pezet from the Storm I'm a bit the same as you, not too fussed over him. Main point being I think it will require overs to...

    My above posts are referencing a SPINE. As above posts. Think I made it quite clear where the savings are. Have another read - It is precisely why Sully has been recruited. The most successful teams have a high quality spine with around 30% or above cap allocation - none are fringe first...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    It hopefully isn't fanciful or we arent winning a Premiership 4x b2b Premiers - the ones with the Australian Fullback and Koriosau/Kenny as hookers. Not a bad spine if you ask me - The best of a generation.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    This is precisely why I have mentioned ( and wow it triggered some posters haha) Elliot ( his mention in particular riles everyone - amazing) , Hetherington, Brailey, Dsaf, Hastings, and Ill add KPP to that list also - all represent a misallocation of valuable cap resource. None perform to their...

    so much to unpack there All successful clubs over the last 2 decades, not just the Storm or Roosters. There are anomalies of course - Brisbane for example did well with less expenditure on the spine when reaching the GF. However that has now changed. With Cap Allocation and Market Value in...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Exactly, but you're being subjective and emotive, and I can understand that. I also feel the pain. Pezet will only be 23, DCE made is debut at 22 and 3 yrs younger than when Cody Walker did, and nearly the same age as when Thurston grabbed the keys to the Cowboys - Pezet has plenty of time...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    NRL Salary Cap 2025 = 11.4 million. Teams would be looking at spending around 30% - 35% of that on the spine. Examples - estimates Storm - Paps 950K + Munster 1 mill + Grant 850K + Hughes 850K = 3.64 Mill ( 32% of cap ) other top teams are in the ballpark. Rorters - Tedesco 1.1 + Walker 1.0 +...

    Arguably the biggest challenge for any young player coming into grade is consistency. Crucial of you are a half steering the team. Playing alongside a another genuine playmaker can't be underestimated, and so important for development. Playmakers are playing well into their 30's now - For...

    From the early re-signings it appears Sully will be going with securing junior development like Lucas, and good cap value signings like Jones and Croker. I expect less ......of the journeyman players I've mentioned before , they don't offer cap value, and won't be in the roster come 2026. The...

    Also to the above, regarding attracting an elite half to the club - with a selling point of being playing for a Premiership. Choose the option you would most like to play alongside Munster Luai Keary Trindall Gamble/Cogger/Crossland/ Pryce

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Interesting observation, I would agree if you're happy to just make up the numbers. I do beg to differ though- Tell me which option below does NOT belong in the group - or perhaps a better question - which option are you more likely to win a Premiership with? Munster Luai Keary Trindall...
