  • I have mixed feelings on this one RCG is probably our most expensive forward and also our most important one so to loose him will hurt.

    That being said that money freed up will give us the chance to secure other players 

  • Be a financial thing. Good opportunity to get a big payday for what could be one of his last contracts with the dolphins in an area with cheaper housing. Alternatively could get a bit more out of Parra. 

  • Would hate for this to happen as RCG is one of my favourite players. I wanted him at Parra for ages and was ecstatic when we signed him.

    He would be a massive loss for us.

    In saying that, Rodwell looks to be he closest thing we have to RCG. If he can play alongside RCG for most of next season we will have a ready made replacement at a third of the price.

  • RCG will be a huge loss for us but on a brighter note we will be able to use some of his money to upgrade Niukore, Papalii and Mahoney for 2023 and beyond, these are all young players and the future of our club. 

  • Paper talk is he is definitely going but having read the article it appears his manager says he is not taking up the option to accept all offers including the possibility of the eels again ie wanting more money.  But I'd say he's gone 

    • Yes, this could actually work in the clubs favour,  the offers he gets from other clubs might not be as much as the current final year deal he has at the eels, we might be able to keep him for less.

  • Dylan Edwards has been approached to join Dolphin's too. Upgrading  in the process out West. Warmer weather near the beaches must have lots of appeal especially after this winter.  I wonder if coach extention had a bearing on RCG choice?

    • Coach extension is what I was thinking. I don't like how he and his manager brang this up now. In all seriousness next year is our last chance to win the comp. if we don't then I don't see us Winning one in a long time. 

      • Has nothing to do with coach extension. He's bringing it up now because he had till Nov 1 to exercise his option. 
        No conspiracy here. 
        And next year is NOT our last chance to win a premiership. For crying out loud. 

        • Your right. But man it's been too long we just wanna win a comp I'm sick of getting laughed at

"Kudos to the club. Win or lose, the fact we chose to fight is a breath of fresh air and a signpost of our growth.
If Vlandys wasn't forcing the outcome why is it us going to court for enforcement and not Lomax going to seek relief.
