I’d have gone after George Williams for the 7. Now international travel is back and a nicer place to live for his wife they might have been able to entice him back from SL.

No surprise at all that SOS looks like going to the Dolphins. He's a first grade half who will only ever be a backup where he is. It was probably his plan all along especially with his Dad being recruitment manager. Convincing the coach would have been the hard part.
Please

He's a back up half who has his dad to thank for his career

Well obviously Bennett would like someone better, which is why he's not committing as yet. But if they're throwing the chequebook at Munster, who is this fantastic 7 that is available and affordable? I think SOS will be the Dolphins 7 next year.

Kalyn and Andre Ponga are a couple of grubs.
Why? It’s not like he did a DCE backflip. He had two clubs make him an offer and chose one. He never said he was going to dolphins.
if his decision means dolphins can get Munster and Walsh instead then it’s a good outcome for them. Of course if they miss out on both of them and on Ponga then they’re screwed.

Because his father could have told Redcliffe he was staying when he was asked by the club so they could move on, but chose not to do so.

The pair f**ked the Cowboys around and have now done the same to the Knights and Dolphins.

Kalyn is not a million dollar player and Newcastle's poor form this year is partially linked to the circus he and his father have created. I cannot see Newcastle winning a premiership while Kalyn is on their books collecting $1m a season. He's a shady SBW type character who wants maximum money for putting in the bare minimum. I wish he would just f**k off to onionball and bludge it up for the NZRU.

I reckon there's a big part of Redcliffe that are quite happy he stayed with Newcastle. They talk about integrity and all that, those text messages were quite damning.

He was playing the game to get the best deal. That’s what they do. He is under no obligation to say anything until the ink is dry.
To Newcastle he is worth it, they struggle to attract any profile players so have to pay overs. Not to mention the comp is full of $1million players not really worth it, like taumalolo.

They leak text messages to the media and have the gall to point fingers at Pongas camp about lack of integrity?

Haha that will do me

I'm glad he's staying at Newcastle. He's a bludger who will never reach his potential because he doesn't want to put in the effort. Bennett challenged him and he ran.

The text messages and Kalyn deciding to stay with the Knights when Bennett challenged him prove he doesn't have the work ethic to reach his potential. He'll bludge it up at the Knights for five years and not give a shit about the club.

His father has a history of pushing his weight around and using the media to Kalyn's advantage.

Taumololo is one of a kind and has an impact like no one else. He may not be worth $1,000,000, but he's more valuable than Ponga. Niggling injuries had a huge impact on Taumololo last year but he's getting back to his best.

What Bennett said was insulting and I for one am happy Kalyn has seen through it and rejected the Dolphins. You can choose to see it as Ponga not having the work ethic or you can see it as Ponga having the confidence in his own abilities and that of his club to take the next step. Bennett right now is getting desperate and will say just about anything to get a player of note to sign. Its all turning very sour for the "Super coach"

Lets say you are right though, what makes you think he'd care about the dolphins any more? At least he is staying at Newcastle cause he has mates there and has shown he wants to win for them. What exactly is there at the Dolphins for him other than cash?

Be careful dude, youre starting to sound like a jilted cowboys fan salty that their ex has moved on

simple fact he is not worth close to $1mill. Clubs that spend $1mill on forwards are stupid. clubs that give a forward a 10 year contract at $1mill are doubly stupid!
