i thought you didnt rate SBW?
blacktip-reefy said:I didnt understand all of the original hype. Especially seeing he was labelled the best in the league after 7 games.
I now think those statements were correct.
Sort of player who can turn a finals game on its head in your favour in 15 -20 minutes of brilliance.

Thomo. said:but alot of people would see that if he does get injured the money would be wasted.
having a SBW in the forward pack would be awesome for the team without a doubt
i tend to agree that he will most likely remain loyal

Sonny Bill played.
You wouldn't waste money on a crowd puller like SBW.
Yes would should at getting SBW, but very closely how we word the contract
Frenzy. said:WTF?
Since 73 said:SBW and Benji have been the biggest superstars and marketers dreams in the past few years.
Both have won Grand Finals before they turned 21.
The next one....
Jarrod Mullen.
He has Joey's spot at the knights from 2008 (or maybe sometime during 2007) so will be immoveable from Newcastle.
The next...
Berrick barnes - currently wasting his career with Eddie Jone's no-hopers.
Feels indebted to wayne bennett and will head back their when next contract is due and Locky is winding down.
These 2 guys have the ability to do what Benji did as the Tigers went from one giant-kill to another on their way to the title - create the match-winning play when it is needed to get a side home.
Sell Noddy, Simmo, Bird and the Chinese restaurant to get the next superstar playmaker.
That's how you win a title.

We've had some stars and gone real close a few times.
But apart from Tommy this has been our weakness at crucial times.
Someone to engineer a win.
Barry Russell's combination with gavin Miller should have got us a grand final with the Bullies 2 decades ago, but for a busted shoulder.
