    Rumoured Targets 3

    900k or anything close to it is crazy. I don't like losing good players, but that absolutely is too much for him. Bonkers if true.

    Losing Upton and missing out on Pezet bother me more than Leo leaving (because, as you said, we'd likely end up over-paying him to stay given the circumstances). To eat all 3 shit sandwiches at the same time is a bit much though. Pezet stayed in Melbourne to play reserve grade over coming to us...

    lol, so he doesn't even know where he's going - he just knows he's not staying? Nice to be the first ones off the table. Not a massive surprise though. I can't remember a single word from his mouth indicating he was keen to stay?

    Both. It's both. Sadly this development isn't very shocking or surprising. It's sad that the only glimmer of hope for improving the squad was an untested (although highly rated) rookie that we were throwing the bank at - and he still knocked it back. Losing Leo is going to suck too, but I've...

    Ok, well you haven't really answered my question at all (I was pretty specific in how I asked it for a reason). I feel like I've explained pretty clearly and with detail about why I'm blase about him, and if we're just going to talk past each other then there's not much more to talk about really...

    Strawman argument dude. Things aren't black and white. He's alright, but he's not worth this level of fuss. What do we point at - aside from clubs chasing him - that says we should bend over backwards getting this deal done? Without mentioning the interest from other clubs - what about him on...

    lol, I read an article this morning (too lazy to find the link sorry) that referred to Leo as the hottest off contract player in the game right now. I think we've reached peak nonsense at this point. Leo is a good kind of guy to have in your squad. Defends well, pretty decent off the ball...

    Legitimate mismanagement on full display. Such an easy layup, too. You're peeling off premierships with a fantastic coach that your gun squad loves to play for... and you just rip it apart for no good reason. From the outside looking in, it's absolute insanity.

    We're not, but if we don't keep trying to be then we never will be either.

    Yep, hardly much closer to home in practical terms. What a load of bullshit, we got taken for a ride. There's a stink of discontent around our team anyway. We turfed our immensely popular, premiership winning coach that the team loved in favour of... well, i'm not impressed with the results so...

    3 year deal at the Broncos. Oh well, at least we're the good guys I guess?

    Yes, if Hastings is the answer then you're asking the wrong question.

    Jackson appearing on a podcast and saying he's in a much better headspace is turning into an annual event. Was the bloke in a bar podcast last off season.

    Me too tbh. He didn't live up to expectations and wasn't here for the right reasons. He carried on like a prat at times, but was going through a lot of personal demons at the time too. I don't think he wanted to come to Newcastle and fail, it just played out that way.

    It's a pretty awkward situation isn't it? The problem with sportspeople is that you need them at peak performance, or your organisation can suffer more than they do. Keeping an unhappy player around a group, especially a leader, isn't a very tenable situation. You're then left with the awkward...

    Around the Grounds

    All the noise going into the game is going to be about Luai. No pressure on us at all, but we'll probably still shit the bed and Luai will put on a clinic to announce himself at his new club.

    We've been bleeding talent since the first premiership, and this will be the final nail in the coffin. Upton is the talent of her generation. Was a pleasure to watch her play for us for a while. We won't go close next year. Upton isn't replaceable. This had better not be the start of a really...

    Suddenly the Roosters are talking to Ben Hunt... It's wild how they can just do whatever they f**k they want down there.

    Honestly, all the talk thus far - not to mention the drawn out nature of the negotiations - all point towards he's got one foot out the door already to me. My position on him at this stage is I'll be surprised if he stays. And I just don't really care either way. I'm not saying he's a shit...
