Rumours and Stuff

He's chasing 700k, so no. He's one of the worst players i've seen play so many games of Origin. He can thank being being little Chinry's buddy for being an origin player.

I agree. 500-550k is what I'd pay. But that's about what Penrith are offering.Isnt that what Pappa left for?
I wouldn't be against Bryce getting the starting gig tbh and going after a better prop for the bench. I don't want to expect 55mins from our starters every week for the next 4yrs. Protect our two star props a little.

The good news is we have money to spend. And the fact he wants to keep Matto at lock.
Hopefully we can offload N.Brown.
If we have 600k for Martin then we may have another 400k from Brown.

we can’t forget that our halves need an upgrade too

Moses is on 900k and Brown 800k. I imagine the salary cap increase would probably be close to enough to increase both by 15%. Will.they demand much more? I reckon that will be their values. Approx 1 mill each.
We also for 2024 would have N.Brown gone and probably Waqa. That's pretty much 1 million on a guy not playing NRL and a guy who is worth about 300k. So 800k up our sleeve.

Wasn’t Izzy Folau playing for Australia at 18?
He was pretty f**king good as well.

Another one who has done more than the "Michael Jordan of the NRL".

Maybe tapau.

Reg, paulo and hodg will be getting older and time next year to really manage their game time. The 2 props can really share with kapow

Matto will be interesting next year. I prefer him off the bench coz when the big boys are off his leadership is needed in the middle. So give. Hopgood maratas role

My pack would be


11 ?
12 lane
13 hopgood

14. Hands but it will probably ja coz i worry about hodgo
15 matto
16 kapow
17 cartright / emu

Dolphins should go hard for the 2 turbos just ti stuff manly up

They could be quite dangerous with the 2 turbos

Yeah Teddys great. But will be 30 next season. How many years will he be in top 3 fullbacks? I'd say next year YES. The following becomes a gamble. He still may. I reckon he has 2 TOP shelf years left. He may play well for 2 more but I doubt at the same level.
Sualii is 18. He could have 14yrs at the top. To me its a no brainer. Come 2024 if Teddy wants to go you let him.

What made you come to that conclusion re Teddy?

I don't think he has shown any signs at all that he is slowing down.

No reason he can't follow the Billy Slater foot steps.

With Des Hasler being on the outer at Manly I reckon there is a good chance that they would be enquiring on BA.

Would BA, or any other coach, go to that dysfunctional place that is a shambles? A complete rabble held together only by a hamstring or a shoulder, so reliant on a single player, that it is a team of 1!!! Stop him and you stop the team. If you think Parra is bad (at times) this place is far worse and their supporters remain perpetually hopeful but fall so short time after time that they celebrate if they get close to the top 8 but inevitably fall short. They've joined to likes of the W-T and Warriors who are perpetual basket cases.

 

[Rocket man]

Don’t think either will leave, after all Sualii was offered more money at South’s, but the telling factor was Nick Politis driving out west to his home at Glenmoore Park to sit down with his parents and the deal was done.

I thought Souths would not agree to an option in his favour for each year was the sticking point.
I think it would be great if we could sign him.

We're definitely going to need an option of someone to play dummy half for 15-20 minutes a week from next year.

And Redcliffe is like a poor mans (literally) Northern Beaches.

Long minutes will help them stay fit.

Much like you at the moment? Especially when you said you do not want to give me much time of day, only recently.

Technically the Dolphins don't have a geographical location and are possibly playing out of Suncorp. May have changed but everyone up here knows the Dolphins are Redcliffe but in the NRL I'm not sure they are.

Their training base will be in Redcliffe though
