I can still see Gus making a huge offer for Luai.......on the back of getting rid of Fox.

Fox signed for about 500k wasn't it? Right now they'd have to chip in a bit for anyone to touch him.

Whats our relationship with the Wests Tigers like these days? Are they still pissed with us?

Business can be done but still salty.

Understandable.

But its been a while now. Time to move on and focus on pretty much every other area of your football club. They have been stinking it up for ages now.

They get rid of Pascoe and they will improve

That's hillarious

That's hillarious

It may turn out to be quite prophetic too.

My money would be on Cole to replace Romey if he leaves.

So that would make it a five peat. Sounds about right!

If he leaves I hope it’s to the Tigers, and i hope he is successful and drags the tigers up the ladder but unfortunately never beats the Panthers for the rest of his career.

I am still hopeful he chooses to stay, but realistically this is probably his best year to cash in on his success.

He hasn’t really set the world on fire as yet in NSW Cup.

Hopefully, he delivers on the potential the club obviously see in him in 2024.

It kinda feels like Groundhog Day just with different players.

Kikau and Api, both left.

Crichton and Spencer, both left.

Now Luai.

Im not being critical of the clubs brain’s trust but you’d have to think the odds are firming on his leaving.,

I agree KK; I think he leaves and that is no knock on the brains trust or on Luai. If the kid can make an extra 300-400k elsewhere he needs to think about it very seriously, and there is no way we should or can compete on $$$s alone.

The leadership have warned us; they suggested that we would lose two a year a number of years ago. And so it has proved to be; Capewell and Burton, Kiks and Api, Critta and Spencer.

The club has signed up a number of players long term this year, which is great, but it did lead me to fear (and write in the forum) a number of month ago that I thought we would lose both Luai and Edwards. I am glad I was wrong on that one. I just hope that it isn’t Luai and Kenny.

Problem is after 3 trophys in a row clubs are throwing kitchen sinks on our players.

I'm still kinda hopeful Luai stays.......living up to my profile name.

To be fair Matt Cameron has re-signed Edwards, Bizza, Fish, Moses, Martin and Yeo in the last 12 months.

He's done well.

He’s a very smart player, he needs another 3/4 of a Cup season.

I like the look of him.

Our NSW Cup season as a whole was underwhelming, not quite sure what went wrong.

Cole is young, full off season with the NRL squad, he is obviously highly regarded by those who know best so looking forward to seeing how he comes on in 2024.

 

[Iamback]

My money would be on Cole to replace Romey if he leaves.

If they want a 6 to play some 7, then he'd be the one.

The issue is Laurie is as close to like for like so likely starts 2024 as next up

It is easy to look at who we lost but we have kept some talent.

5 members from the Aust v NZ test
The player who got NSW player of the year
Current CC medalist all locked in long term.

So we have done a decent enough job, without cap exemptions it makes it hard

I personally have no issues with Laurie getting first crack. He’s a good player
