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.

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.
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?
"Oh Chief go away. You constantly tried to get me with a gotcha moment, weren't able to and now pulling a part details of my comments to try again.
Pity you don't have Mick here to fight your battles and call people names anymore.
I have intel on…"
"Ahh, surprise, surprise. The Ol' Classic Cuckold. It makes sense we offer 4-5 yr multi-million dollar contracts for giggles. We don't even talk to or meet the players we make the offer to. Usually around full moons, when we run out of Suduko…"
"He could play Wing. He played Wing in Gold Coast's last game against Wests last year. He played ok too. Is it a great signing? No, but i mean if he can make metres out the back then great. I would rather him on the Wing than Russell. He is tall so…"

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.

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?

OK, I misunderstood your original comment.

Good outcome. Nice work by the club.
