Why so f'n serious?

We could do worse than to give Bomber a job.

You mean Adam 'Bomber' Doueihi?

I think he's right. They have some phenomenal talent in their team (Haas and Staggs are better than their equivalents at the Panthers) but their best players are very young. The problem is they've paid too much for some guys, and had to start shedding players a year before Penrith will have to.

They're also unable to pay any of their stars less by giving their dad a high paying coaching job.

They should have offered Hass' mum a gig - she can hold her own

Way better? JFH is the best middle im game now. Haas is good but very overated.

Haas is just a bigger, faster version of JFH.

Critchton is 2yrs younger then Staggs.

I think Crichton would struggle in a weak team. Staggs still stands out in one.

You have Staines,Luai,Cleary also.

Luai and Cleary are excellent, but both 24 this year. Not considered young players in the modern game. Staines is just a rebadged Bevan French.

Spencer Leinu will be a top line forward within 2yrs.

He will be very good but he is only a year younger than Haas, and the same age as Riki and Bullemor.

Time will tell. Brisbane best of the kids was Fafita. I am also unsure of Critchton. He maybe another Waqa Blake

I’d be showing Moses the door and using his money to buy some pace out wide and consolidating our pack.

 

[Delboy]

Big decisions coming up - Moses, N Brown and Matterson all off contract at the end of this season.

Comes down to value, managers demands and length of deal. Retention committee certainly have a lot on their plate with obvious needs in the backline and the younger players coming through beneath the current squad.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Moses and Matterson are only off contract if they want to be.

Case closed!

There goes the kiss of death on Poor Ryan Carr.

 

[hineyrulz]

Moses and Matterson are only off contract if they want to be.

Or their managers want them to be.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't blame managers. The players are the ones who make the decisions.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Don't blame managers. The players are the ones who make the decisions.

Matterson is locked in to take up his option. Nothing surer. He will now be looked upon as risky merchandise elsewhere. Now we find out how good our retention team is. Matterson and his Manager will push to extend and upgrade his contract. He is replaceable. If, moving forward, he plays regularly, any extension must be for one year at a time and at a reduced cost.
Period!

OK who would you replace him with?

 

[Incorrect]

OK who would you replace him with?

Bushy's son...

 

[TheRam]

Bushy's son...

Is he ready?

 

[Noise]

Is he ready?

No

 

[84 Baby]

Great question!
If, and I think it’s a big if, we decided to cut ties and if we thought Jrthur was the long term answer, I think the realistic target would be Reynolds. But by the sounds of it, there’d be no dollar savings in that move, so we’d be relying on Reynolds being performancially better which I don’t think he’d definitely would be. And after Reynolds I don’t think there’s much available halves depth.

Moses will always have those performances from weekend in him. Every player did, has and always will. But he’s also shown against Boncos and Scum he can play smarter. And while it’s far from a foregone conclusion he could/will when it really counts, if he does it goes a big step towards us winning.
