How have i over invested in juniors am i paying their contracts now lol.

You really should think before you type as I am not Ian Millward and I don't own the club.

I am fairly certain Drag Queen you wouldn't know shit from sugar if it fell in your mouth as you don't even know what sex you are.

I know who I would prefer as full-back over Quinlan the mighty Matt Dufty. Dufty reminds me of the electrifying Steve Morris who was a match winner.
I spoke to one of Dufty's ex team mates and Bellamy was after him big time but we had him locked in and then further extended his contract. I think that Millward is doing a good job but the big job is filling the gaps in the NRL roster while the Under 20's players develop their abilities, confidence and consistencies. The Club should be trying to win the NRL Premiership every year not just when the stars align with great players, a balanced and
competent playing roster and results driven coach.
Bullshit. Storm ? Lol

If Millward lets Joel go and brings in Licha it will be a good move. Saints have depth in the backrow but not at hooker. If McInness was to get injured Saints would be screwed. It makes sense to me. Or if they bring in Rona, BMoz or Koribiti again good move. If they release Joel for a dud it is a huge mistake.

The only thing with Joel is that he is good cover for centre if a back gets injured during a game.

Slippery
Rona is staying in union.
Morris want come back.

Interesting.

He goes to join his brother in Canberra.

My only question is why would we let Thommo and Luc go same time ..

Coast ? Any thoughts.

Are we then relying in Host to fill the void ?

Tru
As far as i can find out luch is still here next year.
But you never know.
I think if tommo goes then sims back to his best position in second row.
Host to start.
Luch to bench.
Hopefully we will keep hind as well.

To be honest I am not sure the whole Thompson thing seems to have gone quiet as quick as it was reported.

Leilua was hot and cold for Illawarra when he was on he was hard to handle but when he was cold you didn't even realise he was on the field.

Host I see him as a solid first grader who could easily play 100 games plus aslong as Mary stops f**king him around.

I see Sele in the same light a 100 plus first grader.

Brayden Gallagher impressed me for the under 20's at lock along with Jayden Morgan, Jackson Ford, Trent Peoples plus young Bailey Dickison is a big body to.

Peoples and Morgan are signed for next year and I hope they consider keeping Gallagher and Ford with Ford winning the under 20's player for the year.

Coast what about sheppard.
What your option on him.
I like what I saw.

Sheppard can still play under 20's next year so he may be part of that squad.

I am not even sure how that competition is going to be run surely it won't be like the HM's and SG Ball and only run for 9 weeks.

TJ Uele is to old for that comp next year so maybe he might earn a development contract as he offers alot from the bench.

Still really confused by this one.
If this proves to be true then there HAS to be a bigger force at play here. The club wouldn't just offload Thommo for no reason, we have no cap pressure whatsoever on us right now, Millward made it clear we have money to spend.

It's one of two options -
1. Thommo genuinely wants more money and is looking for a big contract upgrade to see out his career.
2. We're letting him go because we're making a play for another big name player.

I feel like it's option 1.

If Thompson wants a bigger pay then he should have never decided to stay in the first place.

If its just a money grab then see you later Joel the club will move on and you can go play with Twent.
