If i were Nikuore or any other up and coming jnr, id be either asking for a release or talking to other clubs and signing elsewhere.
BA totally ignores these players and sticks to the tried and true Gower's Scotts Vaves Matagi and other players who are all on the downslope to retirement.
BA hasn't debut a forward since 2015. And it's not like we have a forward pack brimming with Origin stars.
Twal Aloai Fuimaino Matteson and Tanginoa all saw the light. And a number current U20s eels stars have already signed elsewhere.
It's getting to the stage this season is over. Blood the young guns now.
Most of the players you named that have seen the light are bog average. Twal was offered massive dollars before he’d even Played first grade. Matterson has only found his groove this year after 2 years of being shithouse.
Brad is spot on. I'm sick of people saying we let this player or that player go and it was a mistake.
Most of the players mentioned go onto play "ok" but don't necessarily "kill it". The reason they look good is because they go to better teams. Not nice to hear but true. Once there the said players don't necessarily make the new team better per se, they just become gap fill member of their new team.
A good example is Justin Horo's move to manly. Manly were a good team at the time and he just looked better because of who was around him. Also consider a player like krisnan inu, he left us for another bad team (the warriors) and didn't improve them, then he ended up at the bulldogs (at a time when they were doing well) and surprise surprise he played better.
At the end of the day other fans can sook way more than we can. Imagine being a bulldogs fan and sooking about sbw and Thurston leaving. And dont forget smith, Dymock, pay and McCracken leaving.
In my opinion if we had Twal, Aloai, Fuimaino, Matteson and Tanginoa in our team we wouldnt necessary have won anymore games.
I wouldn't mind any of those players. I just don't think one or even a combination of them would have changed the fact we are on the bottom of the table.
"Personally I don't think gaining Lomax would cost us Talagi. He had a great 1st game and could possibly be better than Lomax when he gets going. He could move to the wing for some time to develop then move to the centres later. If he becomes better…"
"
I totally agree with your comments regarding the importance and benefits regarding local juniors at discounted rates, however, this is only a factor with their 1st contract if they show promise. Once a player starts showing they have regular…"
"Nah Tago is a centre who may later transition into the backrow. I believe Turuva will leave the club which is fair enough. I think May will move back to the wing and the Mclean brothers will start making their way into FG. Panthers have Laurie and…"
"We definitely need Lomax more than we need Grieg. Plus I back BA to develop gun forwards if we need to. We already have amazing forwards coming through our Matt, SG and Flegg team."

You seem to know how much Twal signed with the Tigers for brad?
Tell us brad. Or maybe you really don't know

I would not mind Twal and Matterson, Fuimaono was doing ok last year but not sighted this year wherever he is now/ Aloai don'd know much about though.
Well the great news is that BA has been resigned for another 12 months! So he’ll be here until 2021!
Great! Things were better under Sharp !?
