"Does he?"
"I hope we get him we need so bad not funny Dylan just killing us and we need more good signing with him now like a centre 2 front rowers because i think paulo retire at years end"
"I hope so we would go to another level with a half partner like him with Moses plus he would be way more dominant when he is out than Brown has been "
"Does sound confident, doesn't he... it's almost like Issac Moses manages him too! Oh wait."

I would have let Cayless go and kept Lowrie
Lowrie has plenty of miles left in the tank and his form at the back end of 2009 was awesome - he will be missed
This is not an anti Cayless rant - I just think there is better value in the long term for a Lowrie (who seems just a bit special IMHO). Lowrie has a toughness and balls skills and a massive motor.....and sadly Cayless's best days are behind him and takes up way too much salary cap space for mine
Don't hate me !!!
he started playing good when we started playing good and the team morale was very high. He may be a really bad signing for Melbourne (fingers crossed) or he could fill the void of Dallas johnson and then some.
you can be a fan of "the todd", but there's no denying that he doesnt have the potential that our other 2nd rowers have. I have to disagree on cayless leaving instead of him. Captain cayless was great for us towards the end of the year. His offloads were were great and he was very mobile in his runs creating platforms for the likes of fuifui, thats why i think poore will compliment our team well next year
While I am really say to see the Todd go because he did improve so dramatically in the last couple of months, he is gone and that's all that needs to be said.
Onto next year and bigger and brighter things!
What if we were discussing Nathan Hindmarsh? I would argue that NO MATTER WHAT happens in respect of Hindy's playing ability in the next few years, that he has earned the right to remain at our club till the very end.
P.S. Just because I highlighted in my post that Caylo is a role model and important for our young players, does not mean that I advocated keeping him for just sentimental reasons. I was simply suggesting his value cannot be measured just by analysing his playing ability.
You have to trust the coach though. He obviously had his reasons for allowing Lowrie to go and choosing to keep others on the payroll. Maybe his hand was somewhat forced on account of our big 3 2010 recruits but if you really want somebody in your team you go to all lengths to ensure they stay.
Comparing him to Cayless......................... well, I guess that's the kind of thing we do on this site. It's a bit of a futile argument though considering one is a back rower and one is a prop. If Cayless was released to make room for Lowrie would that mean Lowrie would have to play prop? I think it would mean that our front row stocks would be reduced and we'd have yet another capable back rower trying to make it into the first grade team.
We are going to have to agree to disagree. I still maintain that a players value cannot be determined simply by the way he plays, though of course that should be the most important criterion. NRL is a team sport which takes far more than just ability - it takes courage, motivation and spirit. Further, if form and ability is the most and the only important thing, then surely the Captain should be the most talented player on the team. As much as I love Cayless, it's not him. The fact that he is Captain illustrates that he is valued for more than just his playing potential.
Two distinctly different comments!
I am not going to even utter his name cause it creates way too much chaos!!!
