Rumours and Stuff

We made the grand final this year. We wouldn’t have done that without Gutherson, and probably also if we had upgraded Drown before it was required. It’s good to build for the future but clubs can’t afford to tank a season to create space for later. Not unless they have an injury crisis early on and start poorly. Then you might see overpaid players subsidised to leave.

Gutherson was under contract this season but. We extended him for 2023 onwards. I was vocal back then that I'd be happy to let him go after 2022 along with one of your two starting props. I just felt 2022 we'd have a good crack but then a mini rebuild would be needed. So by 2024/2025 we could have a red hot crack.
We might be fine but we are also at a huge risk come 2024 of having guys on big money that are pass their best along with losing one of our star halves and not being able to sign any real good young talent.

That is my fear.

I hope I am wrong and we are top 4 in 2023, sign both our halves and by 2024/2025 we get value from some cheap juniors and stay competitive untill we free some cash up.

Dolphins are coming now for Dylan.

He was like 5th in their list of stars but everyone else managed to wrap their guys up. Pretty confident we will as well. Would,d be embarrassing if didn't.

Remember when the powers at be thought extending Bea Arthur would get our players to re-sign. Nek Minnett we lose a heap of players and even the coaches Son Guth played his contract saga out in the media. You have to wonder what the people running the club have actually been doing???

The way JA played in 2nd half against Manly was pretty dam good.
He should watch that tape and try and base his game consistently on that.

We played a woeful manly team that night that lost 7 straight. He had a good second half against a piss poor team.

I am confident we sign both halves up. If not then I will have my say about this situation.
I can already see the apologists lining up just incase.

They where playing for season and up at their home ground. Was a good performance. But about the only one. Rest was gash.

Does anyone really expect us to re-sign both our halves in the middle of the WC ?

A bit like Penrith with Kikau and API? Penrith were confident of keeping both, but kept neither. I hope Parra keep both Moses and Brown.

Yes

No, we should already have tied them into extended contracts.

 

[Twizzle]

No, we should already have tied them into extended contracts.

Possibly, but that was made harder by not knowing what the salary cap will be so we don't know what we have to spend, and if reports are correct, their agents pushed them to "test the market".

I would love to have them tied up too but I understand why they haven't been re-signed as yet.

Gutherson is fine and I’m sure a big part of our recent success. I think there’s a good chance we could fall apart without him. We don’t seem to have many real leaders. One of those leaders is Junior Paulo who isn’t well suited to the post-Covid ruck speed.

Not for what they’re worth, if other clubs are throwing overs at them.

Every coach loses players they want to keep.

PCRS

Post covid ruck speed

Is there a vaccine for that?

Oh yes, and don't you worry, they tested it for a full two weeks. Perfectly safe and effective.

hastings might be available next year what about him as our utility on the bench and then he's there if moses or brown buggers off https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...t/news-story/3ee1a8c97412816c590930508f2eadb8

I think he's probably too much of a risk. He got offside with just about everyone in his early career, went to England as a last resort and seemed to mend fences or settle down. Then comes back to Oz and despite impressing in a shit team there are more reports about him not exactly being onside with some players at his club.

To be fair, though, the Tigers are in a bad place right now; Hastings not getting on with people could just be interpreted as Hastings wants to win, and some complacent folk don't see eye to eye with him, with regards to how he approaches this.

I will be amazed if we keep both, and even more amazed (flabbergasted?) if we lose both. I’m pretty certain we’ll keep one and lose one.
