Well it’s needs to still be compared to Papali’i and 2 others. Momoisea is surely on min wage so essentially cancels out one of those extras, so really it’s do you think Doorey and Murchie cost more or less than Papali’i and a min wager?

Papali 500 + 150k = 650k
Doorey 200k Murchie maybe 250k = 450k

But how much more are you then paying on top to have paps? Is that worth it?

People label us as a club that can turn average players into champions and I think we may have been reading our own press given some recent "project" signings. Ice is a stand out but even then Im not sure we inproved his D. Lane was always an X Factor who has shown moments of brilliance and laziness. Reg was just pis*sed off at The Pennys and was always a good player up until his bad injury. Weve definitely improved Moses D. Gutho always had great potential. He just needed good luck injury wise.
Maybe Ive missed others.

Nathan Brown played Origin while playing for us.

Sivo was stuck in NSW Cup when we signed him.

Jail Field was good enough to get a big deal in the UK after playing for us.

listening to Brad Arthur a few back and how mentions that he doesn’t go out of his way to get players up for a game and that he expects the players to be self motivated says a lot about him as a coach and why we have failed in the big games
Bennet can do that but i dont think ba is at that calibre yet

Maybe he's too busy trying to work out the interchange

I will give all our new signings and any juniors we promote into the top grade at least 10 games before judging them.
You know the game well mate and you put your money where your mouth is as a financial supporter of the club.
I don’t know much when it comes to the technical aspects of the game, but having followed this team for as long as I can recall, earliest recollection is ‘76 GF, I think I can maybe judge a player with upside.
I think Doorey has it, I’m not mad about Murchie but he is playing out of position. Hodgo seems to be playing without confidence. But in all seriousness, would you be happy to see someone like Momeseia play 10 games in NRL before making a decision on him?

Apparently Daniel Tupou has resigned with the Roosters for next year.

So they have Paulo ,Tupou and Young as wingers next year. I assume one will go to centre.

What have I missed what did he do mate?
He started the year on the bench for first grade, didn't get much of a run, then was dropped for Matterson in round four. He started in the middle vs Penrith reserve grade and did f**k all (5 runs in 40 minutes) then the following week only got 18 minutes off the bench vs St George. Pretty poor involvement from a top 30 player.
