The trouble with blocking him is that it just delays them bringing on their other backup halves like Nuru. Why keep him at Newtown? So there is some logic to releasing him
There is logic there.. but I reckon the Sharks think they are in a premiership window.. which tbf they secured most of their talent, I think they have a few years.. but if they got an injury to a half, Atkinson is probably the best backup in their system by a fair way.. but.. f*** em.. the qn is perhaps how keen Atko is to hang around for a year..also... whats the pay difference, r we talking 200-300k? no joke for a rookie (ok or anyone).

I do wonder if would take any of these as 2026 signings.. or its 2025 or gtfo.
Signing players a year out and anything beyond three year contracts for anything but absolute champions, are things of the past imo.

Also happy to hear that Guthos contract is including incentives and not a full guarantee in year 3 (I would assume).

Flanno is a hard old bastard who knows the value of things.

It’s been one week since Hunt left and it feels like he never existed already.

Has he got a club fur next year yet?
And his 950k ?

I was actually thinking today once gutho got announced. I still think this is a great offseason of recruitment . Yes, we may only get 2 good years out of all three though they’re all classy players with leadership & experience. Something we have lacked!!
Two years is a lifetime in football.

We are absolutely on the up and off the nose, it would seem.

Contrast this to anything else since Bennett. And the Waite and Smith and Masters before that.

Finally.

My God we have put up with some absolutely diabolical shit the last 12 years.
