Hope Easts and Canterbury low ball these two merkins now.

We finally have a club with leadership and spine.
Whoever takes the next run after Aaron usually gets belted as he allows the line to be set with his lumbering actions.
I'm giving you your first "like".My first comment in years...
Our club's cultural issues go back to the late Sheens era. I thought Potter had started to fix it, but his removal firmly set us back. The rot set in then. The mismanagement and lack of professionalism of our club has hurt us attracting and retaining players.
Also do not underestimate how much the Farah situation and to some extent the Siro situation has influenced what we have just seen. If the players see no loyalty to them then why be loyal the other way?
If Benji is cheap I see no harm in bringing him back in the centres since Idris/Chee Kam are not good options. Plus he can be a back up half. Benji may help some fans heal, it is a good pr move. Plus alot of the young guys would look up to him.
But if you want a mentor, why not bring Heighnington back.
We need a fullback, I am not sold on Dugan at big money. Why not Alex Johnstone? Slightly cheaper but a good off contract fullback with speed.
Similarly I favour McCrone at 500k then Reynolds at 850k.
Lastly. How are Bayley Sironen and Marshall-King going in the lower grades?
Ok I get they may be interested in signing elsewhere,but where is the common decency in letting the WT know that they wont be re-signing with the club,very unprofessional imo.
If you can believe the Channel 10 news, they reported both Woods and Tedesco refused to comply with responding to the deadline because they were pissed their good mate Moses was not given an immediate release.

I am so glad the coach has taken back control of the team....piss 'em off to reserves, I don't think too many fans will get annoyed at doing that.
Would be funny is that hillbilly doesn't even have another offer/ or anything finalized. Whats to stop another club downgrading it and saving cap space. Our bloated offer is gone which was being
To be fair, if I played with Moses in the second half against parra last week I'd be filthy that he wasn't immediately released too
Im not too concerned....
Moses is a chocky soldier of a half. Very rarely if ever stands up under pressure. Poor defender with a silly passing game...thinks highlight reels are the measure of a good player. Every bit the rocks n diamonds player Benj was except Marshal won us many games whereas Mitch hasnt. Parra have overpaid him.
Woods has been de-evolving as a player for a couple of years now. He never takes the dirty hitups coming out of trouble and instead waits till others have started to roll. He makes good meters still but this work is negated by his ultra slow play the balls. Whoever takes the next run after Aaron usually gets belted as he allows the line to be set with his lumbering actions. As a captain he has been extraordinarily poor. Not a leader of any sort. Seems more concerned with his public profile these days also. I shudder whenever i see him on telly resplendant in his shoulder length woman's wig and hairband which has been freshly blowdried, trying to string words together into a cohereant sentence....ugly stuff.
Tedesco is high quality if slightly over rated. His running game and tackle busting strength is top echelon however his defensive positioning is still only moderate and his ball playing is sometimes hopeless. He is also a huge ballhog and is injury prone. That said he was worth keeping, but he has form in the past of disloyalty and has acted like a prick right throughout these negotiations. Im glad we didnt over pay him.
We now have a board with a spine, a no nonsense coach and millions to spend. Time to rebuild.
I hope everyone is at Leichhardt next Saturday to absolute give it to that treacherous prick, Woodsy 2192.
Has there ever been a weaker captain in the history of the sport?!
