The untraceable inducements offered to IM will be a heck of a lot greater from the obvious clubs.IM’s advice/decision isn’t based on niceties etc & friendships the kid may have formed.If we have an avg season which is possible then we’ve got buckleys of retaining him & added concern will be the offers JL will receive post Nov 1.Hence its of huge importance that we have a really good season for many reasons additionally coz I so want Benji to succeed & be a premiership winner both as player & coach.

Yep...those untraceable inducements will be primed and ready but I guess I'm banking on TDS being a bit different to most of them...a few things he's said since he's been in the news are pretty encouraging I think...that he has a lot to learn and in particular defensively...that he wants to be a Tiger and ( in separate interview) that he's totally prepared to wait "if it's waiting behind Api who's teaching him so much" he seems to be a uniquely level headed and mature kid and I get the sense that he'll be very hard to tempt away with extra dollars alone

I’m extremely confident that TDS won’t be leaving Concord plus I’m quite certain he isn’t managed by the vermin

I'm calling this bullshit.
TDS said a week or so ago, he was happy to learn from Api and get the fitness to play a full game.
Is this Moses getting his journo mates to keep trying to derail the club?

Imagine the shit we are going to cop when Bula's contract comes up.

I reckon we will keep them both.

The hypocritical part of me says I wouldn't be so tough on Bula if he left. Hopefully the club will have learnt from the LGgate.
I like Bula, nice kid and certainly doesn't come across as spoilt.

That's all well and good but leaves the cupboard bare for 1st grade this weekend. I maintain Api can't go 80 mins any more. I hope he proves me wrong though

At the Gosford game I went to late last season TDS was our 1 shining light & ripped souths to shreds when he came on
100% agree, but it makes sense to get him into a few full games to keep his match fitness up.
I think we are blessed we have a capable backup in Hope.

If this talk is true. I think its a fair request from TDS to want to be starting in two years time.

It would be a mistake to extend Api's contract and lose TDS.

There is a good chance Api will be going downhill fast by 2027, we can't risk it. TDS has far too much potential.

Think about in three, four years time and beyond, TDS all the way!

Love Api but Tigers first.
