RCG is more crucial than Niukore. RCG provided so much when returning from injury. He led the defensive line and provided great carries. When RCG was injured we struggled to replace him. Whereas we have abundant of backrowers in Carty, Papa, Matto, etc
He'll be 30 at the end of 2022, Niukore will be 25. We can expect continued improvement from Kaufusi & Stone next year and blooding of Hollis & Rodwell, plus a full season from Makhatoa & Gregg.
My first reaction was, "oh hell no", but this might actually work well for us.
Letting him walk is exactly what the Storm would do.
because I'd let 3/4s of our squad go before I let this happen. It doesn't make a lot of sense actually. Old Benny doesn't pay big contracts to boppers, so he's not going to get the huge payday. And he's got more chance of winning a comp with us at this stage.
"Who the hell we going to buy and when we let go of
Lomax
Brown
Cartwright
Lane
Ofahengaue
Dunster
Hands
Other i cant think of
Got only 2 players to replace them WOW"
"I like the idea of keeping juniors but you need experience players to lead them around the park or they will get lost
So we have to let one or two go to buy other good players "
"Most players at 16 who are touted as future stars fail. It is because the players who dominate at that age are usually the biggest and strongest or those who developed early. Even as they get to 19 years old more than half of the U19s SOO players…"
"Exactly, Pou. Our self-cannibalisation was our undoing, even if Sharp didn't intend to harm the club with his fan-wooing, "I will do whatever it takes to return the club to the glory days" slogans.

Especially middle forwards
I wonder what sort of money his contract in 2023 was going to be? I wonder if he is chasing more money and hoping the eels will pay more
He'll be chasing one more long term deal.

Is this actually a rumour or " your " rumour?
