Signed for 640k and Dylan wants 1mill.
I'm surprised you rate Jerome better. I don't. Dylan is just coming of age.
Yes true in defense. Panthers forwards work harder. Ours are big and slow
He’s not a $1M player yet.

Luai isn’t as good in defence but his energy and ability to inject himself into games and above all his consistency has him well in front of Dylan at this point. It’s hardly controversial. Only a hardened Dylan fan would argue otherwise.

I’m not interested in arguing on potential, because more often than not most players never live up to the hype.

I think long term this loss will benefit our team and the vision we have in gaining a premiership and it won’t be under Arthur’s watch. He will click over 10 years once 2023 comes around and that’s more than enough for a coach like BA with one grand final appearance.

I predict that we will scrape into the semis next year or just miss out and by then we will make a call on his successor. I reckon he is Manly bound and we will sort out a deal for season 2024 where he leaves and we go in a different direction.

You are probably right, however there are plenty of teams who will be weaker because of the cap biting and the Dolphins coming in. The cows are young and on the rise. Storm will be the most damaged it seems.

On the upside We are no longer a team that player managers avoid. Good players (like Liam Martin) are very open to becoming an eel.

I still think BA will take up a junior coaching role with the club or go to Manly if he wants to commute the hour..

But please don't sign Des as a coach!

For mine it's Cooper Cronk or Billy the kid. Both carry themself with integrity and would be a great face for the club,sponsorships etc.

Billy Slater has the Storm /QLD edge that he could bring to the club would love to see him get a crack but I assume we will get Fittler instead...

Yep, grand finals on the back of consistent finals appearances improve our club’s reputation and ability to generate money. It’s been a good year for us.

I f**king hate Billy Slater, smug merkin and the face of the team I hate more than anything else in this world. If he coached us to a premiership I'd come around on him though...

So do I but if he can coach us to a premiership I would kiss his feet
