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.

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?
