"Apparently we did try to match the Bears offer of two hotdogs and a coke, but we weren't willing to go more than 2 years."
"Fair call Poppa."
"He was going good in the second half of the year, I think Kelly is an upgrade. All the best to him in the future but mainly 2026."

I agree we don't have much depth. Volkman isn't a FG. Lorenzo and other juniors are not ready. In fact any injury to 1,6,7,9 will result in Papalii coming into the team in some way
We have the worst outside backs in the juniors. We should be throwing cash at a premiership winner centre or origin level rep player. It'll help our development of the juniors buying Albert Kelly does fuck all.
Oh yes let's just buy Farnworth or Crichton right now for obscene money.
worth a try
Well it would be loss/loss. As if they don't try you have a go as they didn't attempt to get a player. But if they do try and fail you have a go that we are useless at getting good players.
These Juniors we are pinning our hopes on better be worth it.
If we don't take a punt on them we have no hope of being a top club. I agree it's a gamble but realistically we don't have a club that is synonymous with success so we won't get top shelf players defecting to the Eels like they do at the Broncos or Roosters (or Bulldogs with Gus).
If we want to have sustained success we're going to have to "do a Penrith" and hope that our juniors can do some serious heavy lifting.

I asked this awhile ago with regards to pathway talent are we producing the likes of a Casey Maclean or a Leka Halasima as examples from other pathway systems from other clubs.I'm with your exact premise but by committing to it can we afford to finish off the podium there also.For me our pathways are still a question mark when developing elite talent.Something to look at going foward I guess if we continue to struggle attracting the mentioned on the open market.
Talking about guys we missed from the sounds of things Lachie Galvin has improved leaps and bounds with regards to speed work with Roger Fabri this off season.Looks like he's in for a big year.
No big loss.
He has turned into a pretty good defensive Centre and is good enough to be in our 17.....but you are right he is replaceable.
