  It sucks but we all knew it was going to happen. He'd have to be daft to turn down that money.

  The Storm lost Paps and I guarantee no one is expecting them to be easy beats now - they just elevate their next superstar in waiting.

  We lost one player and had a lot of notice that it was happening, our R&R must surely have a Plan B, C, D and E by now.

  Some sources linking Taulagi to St. George Illawarra. How in the hell are we not linked to him but are linked to Garrick?

  Bailey has done his hammy before he gets on the field for pre season. Hope they have made progress on someone else.

  You can't blame any player who leaves for the money they are being offerred. Imagine someone comes to you and says I will pay you three times as much for doing similar work. Just about everyone is taking it. 

  Good luck to him and thanks for being a great player for us for 2025.

    Good point, even if he plays for one year and gets the reported $3mil AUD, he would have needed to play 5 years before seeing that for Parramatta.

    If he plays 2 years, he is set for life with $6mil. He has no kids, is mid 20's, why not travel and earn a motza.
