He was at his best when confident and agile. He's neither of those things anymore.

He's spent most of the last 3 years overweight. A coach really needed to say to him that if he didn't get under a certain weight, then he'd be playing NSW cup until he did.

Knee injuries have robbed him of his explosiveness, that's never coming back I'm afraid.

Still the best winger at the club.

 

[Spot On]

How many and what type of surgeries has Uate had on his knee/s????

 

[Burns]

Uate to Japanese rugby next year according to Mole on Twitter.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

All of a sudden our cap situation improves next season.

 

[Spot On]

Fingers crossed.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Get rid of uate. Frees up 500k. Try and pick up coote for around 300k a season. Leaves 200k left over to pick someone else up.

We could get 2 players with uates money that are both better players. The compounding effects if this are quite significant.

 

[Swarzey]

I'd rather resign Rochow and Tariq before thinking about signing anyone.

Coote will get more than $300k or his manager should be sacked.

Maybe, but he's on a fair bit less at the cowboys. So 300k would be a significant upgrade to what he's currently on.

Rumour is that cowboys can only offer him a one year extension but he wants 2. He's currently talking to us, but havent heard if he's talking to anyone else.

If akus money all goes to resigning those two, then nothing has changed at all with our cap management.

They both should only be getting small upgrades at the most.

Based on what he's done for us Tariq should be taking a pay cut if he wants to stay.

 

[slotmachine]

^ That x 1000. So far he's getting $600k a year to take the first quarter of the season off.

Oh I agree. TBH I think he would take a pay cut and stay, he's quite settled here.

 

[Apey]

That awkward moment when you're hoping the mole is right for once.

Cant even f**king give Rochow the same amount he's currently on. Thats pretty much whats stopping us from resgining him.

Furthermore, its a tad funny how we're so quick to slam the club for retaining players yet far quicker to criticise when they move on. Granted Sims has been disappointing but this forum would be in meltdown if he left; same as Rochow.

 

[Spot On]

Absolutely no problem seeing both go if they turn down a fair offer for their performances over the recent past.

Will wish them well if we can only offer them unders due to cap problems.

And I'd say that will be the coaches approach too.

 

[perverse]

Wouldn't phase me one bit if we lost Taz or Rochow. Both are replaceable if they want overs.
