Good target for them but he'll be 32/33 in 2028. Prob not a huge deal for us

Agreed. The Eels have one and a half seasons to find the next up and comming talent.

I'd assume guys like Tuaviti Kautoga take steps forward along with our other young talents. But yeah would like some decent props to lead them in middle who aren't 34
Yes Meeiks. Look at young Sam Tuivaiti. Remember him. Hes the prop the Eels have pinned their hopes on as being our starting prop for tge next 8 years, Yet he can also negotiate in November.
Do you and others still have faith that our so called jgreat nrs are in good hands with Mark o'neill steering the ship?
Forget about our younger guys because its Mark has zero track record of developing and keeping our younger guys
Well the tax free salaries are apparently capped at certain years so who knows how long they keep it up for. Plus for the tax free salaries players need to be living there full time. Some players would prefer keeping their family home in Aus, instead of spending the off-season living in PNG.
"But now you have just doubled down on the same error, Mitchy. I asked you to show what was wrong about me saying straight calls to cut migration or cut government spending were mass over-generalizations.
Now, take two examples in your reply.…"

You'd hope by 2028 that a couple of our younger guys are starting to step up and can replace Williams if he goes. Be sad to see him go though...

The png hype will last for about 5 years. Look at the titans everyone wanted to join them they had 5 good years then the thrill was gone.
As long as income stays tax free, PNG will thrive.
until albos money runs out sadly
