    • Don't believe we have the best people in the recruitment space,  not sure they could sell a heater in the Antarctic.

    • Where is the news of Talagi shopping himself around? Hope it's not true.

      At his debut jersey presentation his family spoke very highly of the club. Didn't look like he would move on too easily.

       

  • The timing of the anouncement is really crap and that's another red mark against our football department. They could have easily made an agreement to wait.

    But for Sanders and his own career, this is the right move. Hopefully we stay close in case we want him to come home in the future. I hope he grows into his potential, and here's hoping he kills it over the next few weeks for us.

    • Yep. The timing was not exquisite, but it always appeared inevitable Sanders was going to leave.

      Best case scenario: in 5-7 years when Moses is ready to retire a little after his mid-30s, Sanders will be in his mid-20s starting the prime of his career living up to his potential. And ready to come back home. It's not a given, but it's not impossible. Paolo came back from the Raiders in 2019.

      Even the might of the Panthers can't hold onto their depth halves. Falls, Coggar, and Kotoa all left because they had the Luai-Cleary roadblocks.

  • Cant blame him. He wants to play first grade football.

    Shame there was no room for him on the bench.

  • BA is a joke. Sanders only getting a run because we're forced through injuries yet ba had no hesistation giving JA game time, even contemplated moving brown to centre to accomodate JA in the halves. Sanders clearly the one with more potential as he's played nsw u20s as 7, but because he's behind Moses and brown BA doesn't want him at all. Makes you wonder

"Good blog Bluey. The proof is in the pudding so to speak. Parra have won or gone close to winning junior comps for decades yet this has NOT led to winning anything above SG Ball (or equivalent) since 1990 (Flegg/NYC) or 2008 (Reserves).
