Fox Sports live just reported Sam Burgess is retiring due to shoulder injury

We can cross Fifita of our bucket list I reckon

Lichaa would be cheap enough and a steady back up.
He would certainly be one of the nest back up hookers in the comp. We have Mahoney and Schneider coming through. We do not want to spend too much on a hooker.
I heard he retired.

Recap

BA signs 4 difference makers when the club finished last

Club appoints HOF, the club needs to get a good replacement for Mau , interesting if he fails to get a good one ( can't count RCG)

Currently losing a few juniors , feels like he needs to get a result as that edge forward is critical. Next week or so could really focus on how good a job he has done since appointment.

I doubt we lose good juniors nowdays. Surely we are too proffessional for that.
If we lost a good 6 or 7 but kept Moses and Brown long term I understand. But we have no difference makers and must keeps in any other position so I reckon we have a good pathway for them.
But losing a few kids is fine I'd are successfully. Look at Sivo for example. Not young and not a jnr. Also cheap. Why pay a kid overs to keep him just incase he turns into a solid NRL player. Can always just buy one. Stick to kids in important and hard to find positions.

Also likely to be affordable backups. If he's worth $100k you're likely to get him for that much, whereas if you're forced to import a backup you could be paying $100k for a player who's only worth 85% of that.
