Thats how the dopes in recruitment and retention roll. Our best prop, yet he can talk to other clubs in a few months, and were extremely short on go forward props.
When he was only signed until 2027, I honestly couldn't believe it. Anyone could see he will be the cornerstone of the eels pack for a decade, yet the absolute dopes in R&R have a situation where we have one of our best prospects since Utokimanu ( don't get me started on Utokimanu), off contract next year.
Last year, they left it until the last minute to re sign Sam, thats how incompetent these dumb Kent's are.
Sarantinos and Mark o'neill = dumb and dumber
Mark o'neill out asap.

Lol I think recruitment doing a great job, so no idea why your whinging about. I think Ryles has players that want to play for the club & this guy one of them.
Praise the lord you're here Tin Tim, I was thinking I'm all alone.
Highly doubt big Sam would want to go anywhere lol, he's a big part of the team now 🤣
Should he have been signed long term accordingly then, before others are able to dangle big juicy carrots in front of him?
very obvious Sam was a vip keeper last year. We should have signed him long term from then. Very slow by us to recognise that :(
there will now be many clubs interested and we have to fork up the big bucks he deserves!
...other one is Ryley signing him on a development contract initially and believe his contract coming up soon too ha T.Brown same.
it's patently clear to most of us thst we have zero ability to sign big names, therefore we must sign our up and comers up to 'real' financially decent contracts early or we get what we get with them moving on Tuilangi style!
parra must not take our young up and comers for granted! It's not the eighties, money and club commitment is the only thing that talks!
Bit of an overreaction here, but I agree with the sentiment. Sign him up with a 4 year deal, anything less is crazy.
He has a manger who probably holding off hoping to get bigger offers once he shows what he can do on consistent basis. By signing early he would undervalue himself so it is part of the game of recruitment which is run by managers not clubs.
It isn't just a matter of getting deals done especially for a club that doesn't have massive TPAs and rorts around the salary cap.
