It’s entirely possible that clubs are still planning their roster for next year. With us having publically declared we won’t be going any higher, there’s no urgency for other clubs to submit their offers. That doesn’t mean they’re not working in the background to table an offer.
But they're not just competing against us, they're competing against each other too.
Which also goes against his philosophy from late 2018 when the club made its initial offer. He didn't like the original offer and said he would back himself to prove he is worth more by playing better footy... Now he's not prepared to back his longer term form and sign for 2 or 3 years but wants the longer term deal instead...
Exactly. So there’s a possibility that his value will increase even further. Can’t blame Gutho for holding out, which was the basis of this discussion in the first place.
One of 16 clubs declaring their maximum offer doesn't mean that all of a sudden there's no urgency. Any of those other clubs could swoop in anytime and land that bargain. By the sounds of it they'd be mad not to. And yet they haven't.
I guess we’ll wait and see. The club will either look like geniuses or deadset muppets. Let’s hope it’s the former.
Exactly.... I hope the merkin never plays Origin....until he goes to Manly.....
With Roberts and Scott playing reggies this week, who are the form candidates for that centre spot ?
Not necessarily in fatastic form, but Bird would be firming IMO.
What are noddles?
