Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

Sivo don’t reckon is a huge loss, reckon he is replaceable with what we have (Dunster/Bailey and co) and saves us cap space.

Definitely want to keep Matterson, however I reckon keep Drown is the key.

Drown wouId be the hardest to replace (But JA has potential). The rest are replaceable.

I think Sivo is already being replaced.

Whether players are easily replaceable doesn’t really matter in terms of “rebuilding”. There’s a set cap, set number of players & specific positions. The variable is how much cap you give to each position basically.
Drown may be harder to replace as a 5/8th but if it were me and both Drown and Matto left, I’d downgrade the 5/8th position and upgrade the edge forwards.

Me too. I'm no Bevan French fan but maybe Gutho & French at 5/8th and fullback

Unless Bevvy got a pea heart transplant in the UK, it's a no from me.

Yea that's my main concern with him.

Can’t believe we payed overs for a guy who’s almost 30 that’s doesn’t suit the faster game. FFS!!

If we were a club that paid overs we would've kept the three mercenaries who were in a hurry to sign before the end of November.

 

[Jake the snake]

Well done trolley boy. Great re-signing!!

 

[hindy111]

Is he signed for 23,24 and 25 or till end of 26 also.

end of 2026 at which stage he will be just short of turning 33. Perfect age for a prop to retire.

Two years to long imo. But his last two seasons are most likely at a lot lower cost. And may even be an option in clubs favour

 

[Avenger]

Papa is the only one I wish we kept.

Lol, you keep walking both sides of that street you crazy diamond

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Great news …. So just maybe we aren’t a basket case

 

[Sensei Cobra]

And you’d have to think we should be very competitive next year …. Despite all the noise about signings for 2023 our squad for 2022 has definitely improved and looks good enough to be a potential threat

Longer term would imply lesser yearly dollars.
I think at the back end of his career he’ll transition even more to a bench style impact player

Official

f**king long contract. At least it will have kept his price down.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

That's quite a battle hardened front row come 2023. With a few young throbbers backing them up. I like it.

And by 2025 the current young'ns will be the ones leading the way with the likes of Paulo and RCG backing them up with shorter minutes and a new breed of young'ns pushing through.
