We have Bedsy and a few others leaving don't we ? we should have some money for a big bopper or 2 , hopefully Simms will step up and fill the void. Anyone have some thoughts on Simms ? I thought he was going to be our next pack leader , the next big thing, but he doesnt seem to get a look in at first grade where as guys like the young Burgess twins are around the same age and killing it in first grade. Is it that Simms isnt living up to the hype or am I wrong and he's much younger than the Burgess boys? Whats the story with Simms ?Matulino is already a gun. Arguably the best front rower in the world but George Burgess will soon have that mantle. We cannot afford him. He will be hunted by clubs with plenty of cash. Noone takes precedent over Gags, Joey, or Mullo for me right now. Those three are players we need to lock down and fast cos we have a centre pairing that is the best in the game by plenty. Add the evolution of Tyrone to that and the fact clubs will be watching closely it becomes apparent we have a lot of work to do to make sure we secure our spine. Clydesdale is also part of that in time but we have him under lock and key. Ironically Cameron King has been released to the Cowboys I am hearing.
I know we are basically done for our 2014 squad but do we have any money left? The reason I ask is because of the rumours surrounding Locke, Packer and Matulino at the Warriors. I know rumours are just rumours but I would take Matulino in a second (don't really care about the other two). He would be an absolute gun under Bennett.
Lets get Mullen, Gagai and Joey tied up on long term deals before we get excited about anyone else.
We have to break the 2015 Bennett nexus, there is a lot of our young guys off contract and if Bennett takes on another coaching position, then I can see the possibility of them following him.
Didn't they just sign him a matter of weeks ago? :lol:Noticed that Cam King has been released to the Cowboys. The shit fight that the Dragons put up to keep him when Wayne went sniffing around seems to have been all for nothing

I had a chuckle over that myself, since as they would have paid overs I wonder how much of his contract the Drag's are covering over the next 2 years at the cows?

I hope so, otherwise I feel he may take the guts of our team with him. Personally I hope he extends his contract.Just a gut feeling but I don't think Wayne will take on another coaching position after he's finished with us. He will retire.
