I hope you’re right mate. After next season we’ve lost Papali’i and Niukore and likely to lose Matterson as well. That’s a lot of good forwards we’ll have to replace for what is one of the best packs in the competition.
Maybe we can use the money saved to improve our spine? Or do you think we should persist with the pack that "can't get us past week two of the finals"?

Any connection between millionaire backers, car dealerships with multiple outlets, hotels with multiple outlets and the ability to bring in TPAs. Just tell your arms length subsidiaries to provide TPAs, how coincidental .

What cap? Would be nice if the second biggest CBD and the best supported club could find such supporters.

You don't know how much the difference was, but don't forget he's gone to one of the weakest clubs in the NRL. Winning obviously isn't high on his list of priorities, which would explain why his career has been so inconsistent.
I was told it was only a dif of 50 grand

He’s here next year mate, you’ll have to wait another year before you can bag the shit out of him and death ride him. I know it’s going to be tough but I’m here for you.
Every player has negatives, including my favourite player Paulo. This is why I say no player is bigger than the club.

But you were happy to put shit on a previous board for cheating with TPAs. Now the current board are f**kwits because they won't?
They tape recorded themselves cheating, they were utter morons. Another wrong horse you backed Pou just like always.

Because the club always knows best no matter what 🥸

Apparently, Wighton's on the move could we potentially sign him to play fullback or move Brown to fullback and play Wighton at 6 could be that x-factor player was looking for. His current contract is around 800k the exact same that Gutho was offered.
No thanks

Yep. Everyone now saying the tigers paid overs. Maybe had we tried to offer him a decent amount 6 weeks ago, he may of stayed. And I’m not sure why people saying it’s a gamble for tigers. He’s young and will still have his best footy ahead of him. Hopefully BA can extract the very best from the next batch of ‘cheapies’ we come across.

Kikau will be 28 when the dogs get him. At 800k and known to be lazy could be a flop. A bigger risk then Papali'i

We had one when Hayne was in his prime and all you wanted to do is get rid of him so we can have more quality across the park. We have that now. So what’s your position now?
Hayne was a negative influence on the players around him, which is why he never played for a strong club and won wooden spoons under three different coaches. His attitude was too poor to be a top earner. Now he's in prison.

Your highest paid players need to be leaders as well, and improve the players around them. That's not referring to LBAs ffs. It's about driving the club culture.

Don't think BA resigning has anything to do with it. Look at the two blokes we are losing and then look at their future coaches. Maguire and Brown lol
Exactly. Those players don't give a f**k who the coach is. They are not our priority, which is why they're gone.

How was he a negative influence when he was the best player in the game and made players like Daniel Mortimer and Todd Lowrie look like work beaters.

Don’t use the prison stuff. No merkin would have predicted that.
