I’d be hanging onto Matt Eusinhuth see no benefit in letting him go if we can avoid it, he does his job every time he is called upon. If he leaves it’s just another player who has to be replaced.

But of a blow really, along with Katoa, we have lost our three best players from Ball to the Dolphins. Can’t be too critical of the club in this instance given they are going to a new franchise So probably not much we could do. Still disappointing, Teague to me looked very similar in style to the Bunnies Cameron Murray, not a big body but just everywhere in attack and defence.
Why wouldn’t the club be able to identify him as a must keep then? Yes I do understand you can’t keep them all.
I’m sure the club were desperate to keep all three but sadly couldn’t compete with what the dolphins were able to offer.
That u/20's hooker we have is probably a better player tbh.
Understandably, but there isn’t the money in the ESL there once was, the good money is available to the very best while the rest ex Pat Aussies earn pretty much what they earn here. Other than replacing him with a player from the junior ranks were not going to get someone of equal quality from the NRL. It is clear we are pretty much stretched to the max on our cap and that is even allowing for not tipping in for certain players.
I have no idea of what he is on, probably more than we think thou.
Bennett is just doing his job I guess.
$200 maybe $250 would be fair pay. He probably could get similar money in the ESL, maybe a bit more. Depends on his family situation I guess which I know nothing about. Maybe if he is single with no kids it would be a no brainer if he could get more money but with a family it is a tough gig, it really is.
A little bit more even a $100k more to pack up and move across the world is not worth it in my opinion. If I was him for $250k I'll try get an extra year in the contract to stay in Australia
If you’ve ever been to Hull in the North East you’d want half a million a season to play and live there. Apologies to anyone on here who may have originated from there but even they may acknowledge it is not exactly glamorous.
I have a cousin in York, I couldn't deal with the extreme cold, this current weather is a bit much for me.
York is a beautiful city. Inside the old wall, it has a special vibe, the cobblestone streets, restaurants, bars great place to visit but yes the weather for much of the year is dire. I was last there in 2014 in April so the weather was acceptable I really enjoyed the couple of days there. They have a great comedy club , underground for anyone who may be visiting.
