I think Stefano's ceiling is origin. I am unsure with Kafusi. I think maybe better then average prop but not in origin mix. But he is very young. N.Brown was a nobody till he hit 24.

FMD you’re in for a long offseason
He’s on approx $320k pa, Tigpies were desperate and needed a big, young prop. We came back with a decent offer but he had already signed . There are a few that were offered close to decent first grade cash prior to really showing it, Curran, Bondi Odo, Tapieri, and then others offered development deals while we making decisions like Kei, Keppie , Mooney etc.
*3 years8 years is not enough time apparently……….
Except when it's embarrassing to mention them in the same sentence ffs
Sounds like he has head coach skills rather than assistant coach skills
Me either Avenger.
I would think it is probably a good thing to have assistants that are capable and have aspirations to be a head coach.
Does winning prove your assistant coaches are good? Weak NRL clubs seem to think so. Strong clubs seem to be able to replace them fairly easily.
*Threat
You mean Murphy and Kidwell wouldn’t be in high demand from other clubs??
When things are reported inconsistently like this, assuming it's not bullshit, it's because contracts for young players are usually back ended, both because they player is expected to improve over the life of the contract, but also because probably every NRL club is full of back-ended contracts and bringing them back into parity requires sacrificing a year or two. Inertia and demand for results means when you bring in a $300k player (for example) at the last minute (e.g. in January) you can probably only give him $150k in the first year and maybe $250k in the second. The balance has to go into the final year of a three year contract. By the time you get to that year you are having to back-end new recruits in a similar way. The cycle of life continues.
On LU there is no off season.
If he was a threat the blokes who hire and fire coaches would know about it. Or do you think Arthur's writes his own contracts?
If they were in high demand they'd be gone, just like all the rest of the coaching staff we've lost over the years.
Awwwwww come on Poo. Give us a grin. It tickled me even if I did write it.
Unnecessary.
