So is the Maika Sivo that is apparently leaving the same Maika Sivo that most people don't have in their starting 13?

How could we lose him! Burn the club down!!!!

Maika is a pretty good attacking player 10-20m out. However the hitups, the line breaks, the involvement are well below par. His tackling style worries me as its always heart in mouth stuff..
He won't be playing for the first half of 2022. Do i think we will miss him. No.
Good prospects in Haze, Hayze, Samuel Loizou and Sean Russell. Waqa could go wing if Opacic plays left centre as I think Will has the right centre as his now.
I still think there will be some surprises with player movements now and over the summer like there always is and we could be a beneficiary

Just for the record Pou, I like Brad as a man. I have met him on several occasions. I am disabled, and he and his family sat in the row in front of me for a few years at the old Parra Stadium. He used to help me up the steps.. He would sit there with his family and watch a bit of the reserve grade before he went to the sheds. His wife Michelle is lovely too. I spoke to him and had my photo taken with him at the fan day a few years ago. He is a lovely guy. I just feel that he is not the man to take us to the promised land. I of course hope he does. My comments are my opinion only. I respect your opinion as I do with everyone's on here. I hope you do with mine. Opinions are like bums, everyone has one.
I don't think Brad can bring us to the next level either. But there are no other real option. Flanagan was one but brings baggage.

If Brad could bring in different ideas from different assistant coaches, maybe we could do better.

So there's no point bringing up that point about brad and re-signings as they needed a coach to be named

Do you really think ideas are the reason we haven't played a preliminary final under Brad? Big games aren't won by ideas, they are won by great teams with few weaknesses. Lack of ideas isn't a weakness.

Grieg and Rodwell are pretty much the same age as Oregon. They both showed this year in very limited time on the field that they can handle themselves. Get them up to speed and fitness with a full off-season and they will be pushing for spots in the top 17 in '22 when we need them to.
Both Grieg and Sivo need to lose weight to improve their games. Greig to maintain his output at a high level throughout his stint on the field, Sivo to improve his output and speed. Grieg could be our next RCG when he leaves in '23 and has a year to improve his game.

Think he’s an absolute steal at $500k. He’s all class off the field by all accounts. Think he’d fit in well. Just my 2c

If we lost RCG and replaced him with Welsh, it would go a long way to keeping our pack very strong still as long as his form didn't decline of course and we don't lose to many others or can replace our losses with similar types.

All to many unknown at present. Best we wait and see what eventually happens and how we respond.

According to the DT we haven’t even spoken to Gutho or his manager since talks were put on hold until after the season back in mid-August.

Ayoub said they are waiting and keen to talk but club hasn’t made contact

Said article goes on to say that the club and Ayoub are talking and hope to get something agreed soon. Clickbait Tele as usual, headline doesn’t reflect the whole story.
