I see your point but in my opinion, Gags is currently in career best form and is currently one of the best centres in the comp. Plus, he has plenty of good years still ahead of him.
I agree with the pengai sua swop,JD must have history with him, his 600k would be subsidised, sua probably asking for 650 at least, but this is the situation were i say we drop the ball,is, has ,anyone thought about doing this? If we lose gags, i wouldnt mind isako,he i consider a half decent winger and he needs a change of club.
I understand and can agree with the sentiment but the club and it's future needs to come first. If it becomes a choice of Gagai now or Latrell in another year or two, I'd be opting to prioritise Latrell.
This bargan bin and improving players is something alot of clubs could learn and benefit from,including us, ive mentioned meeney a few times,as a good buy well he is on his way south, a great buy for melbourne.
Well I'd like to know where Melbourne seem to pluck these Fijians out of nowhere and end up state or test level representatives. We could do with some scouting like that.
The bargain bin - like Dylan Walker. But unfortunately with his history, and the way he parted ways with our club, I doubt they are considering it, but (at bargain basement), they should. Could be a great bargain addition.
Totally agree
Also, I understand your nervousness, but look at the list Travitoh posted. If those guys can be as good as hoped, we will be a good team.
Just an additional point to my reply, man Capewell got absolutely torched last night. Sure it was Tommy Turbo but still, you still gotta be able to make tackles. I think Tommy beat Capewell every single time he took him on one-on-one. The QLDers were screaming about needing centres. That tells you Capewell ain't one.
Capewell is only a stop gap centre, in reality we all know he is a second rower, he is probably going to get close to 500k deal by a desperate club, as i see it, quality players are in short supply, bottom feeders who have money and teams with a dedicated recruiting officer are making the moves,look at sullivan at the warriors, they havent stopped buying. The broncs are going to have less now that they are holding on to lodge and pengai, they will have milfs million, and a couple of the older forwards and maybe a back or 2 ,issako , hunt, enough for say 3 more recruits.
End of 2023
Given how good the new kid looked on debut, the club may have to do what they did to Reyno and opt for a changing of the guard.
Well it is what it is, i think 2 more years and mamouzelos can step in,weve been lucky this year origin hasnt impacted us so much, but as i see cookie play, he isnt running as much and his service is nothing special, as benji said, at times its not accurate and time is lost picking it up either its too high or too low or misdirected, the writing is on the wall having korisau in camp, just looked it up,cook is contracted for 2 more seasons,i think that will see him out tbh, unless we shift him after next year,says he is on 900k
