"I don't think the current climate allows the purchase of great players, with a good history, at a fair price without "gambling and hoping we strike gold". It just doesn't seem realistic to me anymore. Tuuivati should be a value buy for us but to…"

"Coryn, well said. I'm all aboard the "urgent athlete", especially if they move the dial on momentum.
In principle you're correct, about spreading the net as wide as possible.
But let's look at your body of evidence NZ RU developed to NRL. Let's keep…"

"Cool story bro!"

"That AB identity that everyone sucks cock about is under huge threat and has been for the last decade plus hence why it's the time to strike at the heart of the sport.
Its why the Warriors are attacking it at development and age grade high school…"

"Reckon Jack Williams will be a great captain. I have a good feeling that this Eels side might surprise and may even snatch a victory. I like Papali at 6 and will be interesting to see how Edwards goes "

"You forgot a few names Botica Ridge Innes Kirwan Tiuigamala Ellis and I'm sure if I could be bothered there are plenty more that have made the switch successfully.
What I'm getting at here and always have been getting at if your not willing to have…"

"I don't recall 1994...oh, that's right I was travelling thru Europe, even got to watch a EPL match between Chelsea and Man City, don't remember the score but man the poms can sing. And brawl."

"Chief, I hate reading lies and exaggerations.
This is the team that Ryles built, at every level from the player's he let go to the ones he obtained and then the Lomax exit. Not to mention his penchant for the development of our juniors and the…"

"Coryn, 
Looking at those great FB highlight reels of outstanding NZ rugby union talent you share regulary and we drool over like a kid in candy store, made me wonder: why do so few make it in the NRL? 
My first gut feeling was the All Black National…"

"No doubt about it Coryn, what would he earn in Europe?
Seeing those hightlights says to me the whole NRL Club scene must be blind! He apart from his enormous physical assets, actually has football skils and nounce.....a rare combination in any team.…"

"Hey Daz and Nos, that idea of "fusing you two" makes for some interesting reflections.....unquestionably it would mean that the result is Presidential material and the smartest thing this site has ever seen.....
Now my further reflection Nos is that…"

"I give them a rough chance Graham, especially if Ponga doesn't play.
I actually called for Volkman at half and Joash alongside of him. Volkman has a kicking game (long) that is much better than Pezit's and I  think Joash will be a lot more involved…"

"Do you know anything about people and why they do certain things Parrafan, of all the comments of rubbish on here, that just about takes the cake!"

"As I said, majority of coaches who have a world class roster make finals. Not all win a comp as I believe a great coach can be the difference but if you have a world class squad, average coaches make finals.
BA made finals 4 years straight with a…"
