He is on overs up front rather than at the end of his contract, which for some reason is just fine.

Met tino about 6 months ago at loyds auction house Carrara , knows ryles well , take it as given we will go for him
Wel considering one is a 20 year old spine player and the rest were almost 30 and past their best i don't see it's even comparable.
Most of those merkins were almost 30 ffs!!
I think where we are as a club atm.
It's very strange.
Availability is the foundation of being selected, that’s not something in 2025 that’s a strong point.
I’m not sure so sure KG and it’s probably got as much to with the position as the player for me as Hooker really is one you can’t afford to overpay. While the state of the club isn’t super atm they’ve made some tough decisions to get a fairly blank canvas when it comes to the cap and I just feel securing an elite forward (or two!) & decent 5/8th would be the priority especially after unearthing Ryley this year. I agree there’s talent there and sincerely hope he fully realises it in the Blue & Gold.
They're only 31 now ffs! They're not 35.
Yep in terms of upskilling its becoming obivous Benji can't coach.
He's ordinary now but streets ahead of his peers of the same age (including Matt Arthur, another one with very high ceiling). Da Silva will probably play Origin, but offers close to zero for the rest of the year. He will likely be a gun by the final year of this contract, which is great, but how good will he be in the first three years? In a perfect world we would be giving him a contract starting in 2029, not finishing in that year.
You’re right! No chance this one could bite us on the ass
They were all proven performers and we were trying to keep our premiership window open. What has this kid proven? How's our wooden spoon window looking with this signing?
Ideally it’ll mean Riley can do more of what he’s good at (kick chase, being a pest, making a bazillion tackles) and TDS same (getting out of dummy half, run pressure, put on a big hit)
