I think parra are gonna have trouble 2023 for the second rowers they need its a very crucial spot for clubs most will have there second rowers sewed up from now till atleast 2024 2025
If we announced we'd re-signed Stone for 23 onwards there would have been cries of "Why did we sign this plodder who costs us in the Panthers game" etc etc.
Stone is good, not great. He probably doesn't have a place in our top squad and he will at the Dolphins. It's money off our books, and good for his career.
Ive got no issues with this. Its not good or bad, it's just fine.
Staying for a coach is one element of the decision (unless you're Darius Boyd in which case it's the only element).
I don't think anyone said that players would stay solely because of BA. People said that the players like playing for BA. I've left jobs where I've loved my boss, solely because the money and/or opportunity was too good elsewhere. Had nothing to do with my boss at the time even if they fought to keep me because there are situations when it's just too enticing to move on.
Players leave for money, players leave for opportunities they won't get at Parra, that's life. Until we find a billionaire who is happy to bankroll our success through "introductions" and "investment advice" like Politis, this is what we have to deal with. Heck look at how many superstars Bennet (the god of coaches) has attracted to the Dolphins so far...
"I do not think there was a promise. He tried to get the Dragons job, decided he didn't want it but due to him going behind the Roosters back to get it, they sacked him pretty much (Even though it was petty not let him at least interview, god…"
"Why move our best Fullback? It has been talked about for so long here, but Iongi is our best Fullback, why move him to beef up the 5/8 spot when you weaken Fullback at the same time?
Eventually maybe could prep him to turn into a 6 full-time,…"

Lol you'd think BA was in charge of recruiting all on his lonesome .
Lol BA doesn't have much say
But bashing BA is a enjoyable past time
Who say is it then shld be coach as he coaches the team he shld be in charge of recruit to what type of players he wants

We'd be just fine without you
