The club seems pretty set on being a development club, lots of older forwards moving on. A great time to be a young forward at the club.

That is not true and you know it. That comment is actually embarrassing.
We have plenty of massive 1st grade talent.
Sorry Suity, but I agree with @Noise. There is an absolute difference between a 1st grader and a “must keep”. There is nobody on that field yesterday that is a must keep. Some will find contracts elsewhere as they are first graders, but I’d be low balling the lot of them.

To be honest, Moses, Hopgood and Guymer are our only current must keep, and next year we can throw in Lomax.

Dylan Brown is a must keep.

The Blue and Gold Negative glasses worn on here, do not outweigh the numerous NRL experts who have him as a top quality five-eighth.

At $700k he’s a must keep, at $900 - $1mill he is on the chopping block. We can get better value.

I’ll also add that nrl experts (including Cronk) have been critical of Drown and his inability to step up when we’ve needed him to without Moses.

Compare him to Luai when their star halfback goes down…

I love the guy. He's my man crush. I know he got caught out in D at fullback but it's no coincidence him being moved from the front line contributed to our embarrassment.
In Ryles we trust.
