R&R are serious f**ked if they can't see he added more than some of these other nuffies signed over the last 2 seasons.

Perfect player to bring on and up the energy levels during a game. Same mold as the wanker that went from the Panthers to the Roosters for next year.
The only similarity is that they look alike. At the same age Leniu was already playing first grade.

We did open the purse strings...for Moses, Brown, Paulo, RCG, Matterson, Penisini, Cartwright, Gutherson, Lane, Hopgood, etc.

We have a salary cap, you know.


Hopgood Lane Cary Penisini aren't on that much are they?

Moses Brown Matto Reg Gutho have been given good upgrades though..

Games missed by those you mentioned
Moses missed 5
Drown missed 7
Paulo missed 4
RCG missed 10
Matterson missed 6
Lane missed 14
Gutho missed 1

47 games through those missed through injury, suspension, rep duties - just a shit season where nothing went right and some of those missed games were self inflicted.

That shouldnt happen next year.

This year JJBM averaged 80m and 17 tackles a game. Less than 1 tackle breaks per game, and only 3 offloads in 17 matches. Tackle efficiency not bad, but you'd be hoping for him to have more impact than that if he was to get a top 30 contract.

Really do we need to bring up who is on top 30 contracts again...

They are on more than they were this year. The others will be on much more than they were this year. Someone has to be earning less, so either we buy cheapies from other clubs (Harper) or we promote juniors (Talagi). I don't think buying expensive players from elsewhere is an option, considering we already have expensive players on the books.

Yep you weren’t making any inference with the comment I quoted whilst conveniently ignoring Gutho’s story.
Huh? You're making about as much sense as Pou there.

You asked who organised the player's part time labouring work with a transport company, from Gutho's story which in no way did I ignore...

In asking that question, are you inferring that Brad Arthur organised that work for teh player? If so look forward to evidence of why your inference is somehow more valid than mine...

Are they? Only Cartwight was off contract for next year.

All of the middles in the top 30 outplayed JJBM this year. The exception is Taumoepenu, who outplayed him in 2021 (when he was signed), and whose 2022 form was at least as good as JJBM's this year.

We will know Bethams potential based on if and where he lands a top 30 contract.
Every club would of seen him play and come thru the ranks. If he doesn't get a top 30 deal elsewhere it's safe to say we made the right call. If the Storm snap him up then I'd bet on we messed up.
The fact he isn't already snapped up by another club probably leans towards we made the correct call. If he hasn't landed one by the end of this year then I'd say nobody is that interested.

Lies Rodwell Matele both played in the middle and were both Behind him.

More Lies JJBM first played NSW Cup in March 2023.

More than Likely this is the fact. If he has a poor work ethic and us morons on here have heard it other clubs also will have heard it.
