            • Was trying to deliver the news and be kind, but yep!

          • That's okay if they deserve it. Hard for players to stay motivated if they're on extreme unders. They've earned it IMO 

            • They sure have. IMO the ony way we sign a qaulity back is at the expense of Fergo and off loading a quality forward.

                • Crazy if we let NB go.  He is the absolute driver of our forward pack. It showed when he went off injured last weekend.

                • Oregon Kaufusi's outstanding improvement since last season warrants an upgrade too, Mick. He'll have plenty of offers soon if we don't look after him, his manager will see to that.

              • Ah Yes - the good old Cash 22.

                $600K  (2021/2) sounds a lot if you say it slowly - in the real market it is not so great when upgrading 3 or 4 players.

                Opacic, Pappa and Carty for starters will make a big  dent.

                We haven't seen Lussick and a couple of others perform yet

              • "off loading a quality forward" ??????????????

                Are we really that flush in the engineroom EE?

                • Mate, we have plenty of talent, depth, size and balance in our forwards.  Add Nuikore back into the equation and it is even stronger.  I don't want to lose anyone from our current pack to pay overs for a centre. I think our engine room is just fine. 

                  • OK, I misunderstood your original comment.

                    One of the recruiting stategies I have liked is buying (say a centre) who can adequately  fill other positions as well

                    centre - pinch hitter 5/8 - wing - and fill in fb.

                    It appears to me the days of being an out and out specialist player in any one particular position (forwards or backs) is fast becoming a thing of the past.etc. Is player versatility becoming the new normal?

                     

  • Good outcome. Nice work by the club.
