"Its 1 year. The club holds the option if they want to re sign him"
"Interesting, definitely need some more punch in our front row/ middle. Having de Belin, Paulo, Moretti and Tuivaiti rotate in 26 is a good start. Hopefully he doesn't have a good game for them on Saturday. "
"I mean his age is a worry but 2 years out with that court battle sort of helped prolong his career. He is very durable at the moment. So I guess we have to do with what has happened."
"Experienced middle and only a one year deal really, hopefully they push for him to join before June 30 "

Big name players are agitating for releases more then we think, others have get out clauses, and others are off contract. It may appear that way, but seriously think of all the signings this season between all the clubs, some serious talent has been available. As of last week there was Staggs, Cobbo, Hass, Tino has a get out clause, Luai has a get out clause DCE, Da Silva, Sandon Smith, Mahoney. Just off the top of my head.
The real problem is as a club we are missing out on them or talent like them and we need to understand why. Are we not identifying the talent, are we not able to negotiate in right manner, are we just not interested, are we not a destination etc etc.
You are spot on with your first paragraph BE. That is what Ryles and co. are waiting on. Players will come available in the off-season as teams caps get tighter they want to make a big move they have to release in order to free up space or players get a better offer straight away.
2nd paragraph is money and you've mentioned it before do our recruitment and GM have the guile to get this type of available talent in the door.Is JR enough of a catch cow to attract the mentioned or are we just going to attract middle of the road and hope what we have gets us moving foward.
Big club questions going foward.
We don't move quick. MON probably is at home watching Netflix.
Excellent news.
At least, the FO is pro active now. Hope they can get their R&R together and get players who have better IQ footy.
Hallelujah!! 💛💙
Bout freaking time.
Well done young fella. Much deserved contract, and you deserve your chance.
On another note, I now wonder if this is an early indication that our negotiator / closer has let Ryles down again, unable to sign Da Silva.
We must be thanking our lucky stars that no other club was interested in Rylie Smith, the upgrade was much warranted. Now needs to master a kick and learn the confidence to run yourself, at the right times.
Surely Hands and Lussick's time is comming to an end.
They missed on Starling also so your right Lussick and Hands time have come.They'll 💯 % be looking for another hooker no doubt about it and another 6 also.
