At least it seems we have a bit of a chance at getting him. A chance is better than no chance at all.
We should still be able to fit 1 more quality forward. Do you know salary Te'o wants??? Anyone know what Te'o would roughly demand salary wise?????
What info do you have about coaches mate???
That's right but we have re-signed/upgraded a lot of contracts too. Players would have wanted more salary!!!!
If Souths were to take Te'o and we had to release a forward then I'd release Grant. I wouldn't hesitate. What do you guys feel????
Rsag 85, R95, Southsport, Doyen, Alien etc....... Would you tell Grant to go in exchange for having a bit more in our cap to sign up Te'o???? I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!
Grant has been a disappointment,IMO!
He's almost been a non-identity.
I thought when we signed him he would at least show some of the fire he exhibited when he played SOO.
I don't think his heart is in it these days--the alarm bells should have been ringing when the Panthers were so eager to shaft him!
When signing players from now we should be looking at those who can play very long stints on the paddock,preferably 80 mins.
They need to be very mobile,noted defenders, with top engines---the Teo,SamB types.
The day of the big lumbering forward could be over with the possibility of a 6 i/change--& this will eventually happen.
The Burgess boys are great athletes for their size but we don't need [or want ]a pack full of players who can only run for 20 mins before becoming a huge liability.Teams that continue down this road will be blitzed in the last 20 mins by the mobiles.
Bennett is already focussed on building a team for the game of the future. The game is already being planned by the establishment at being more spectator friendly & getting away from the mindless crap we get from most teams at present!!
Clubs & coaches need to be very mindful of where the modern game is going & consider very carefully the type of player they recruit!
