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.

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.
"For the last 40 years our experience has been of a losing culture. Until we get more people in management positions that have winning experience at elite levels we will always be on the stairway and never reaching the top."
"You can tread water for a long time, unfortunately it dosnt mean your swimming towards something. Our recruitment is exactly like that. Its like we are waiting for that 1979 and onwards era where we had a number of juniors and signings come through…"
"No Capt. Thats not tounge in cheek, thats our reality. How those calls are being made is amazing. I wonder who is in charge of the football dept. Perhaps he needs to pick his game up."
"I Predict as soon as we can sign the players Ryles wants first up. We will be on our winning way. Until this problem is truely understood, enacted upon and fixed, we will always be at the start of a rebuild. We could fill a state of origin team with…"

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
