Camo-cutter is not even wearing safety glasses,....he gonna be sad when he get bits of nut in his eye. Stronk Russian vibes here.
Notice his chainy won't start...I did mention to inspect and maintain prior to commencement.
To clarify my above comment, I was not playing arborist or dropping problem trees stoned, hence why I am still alive and intact. We dropped an uncomplicated 20in/12mtr standing dead Yellowbox and turned it into 3tonne of chunks that we now have to split....Gonna rip a few before that too
I wonder what the deal that Ryda Talagi and Lachlan Coinakis in takes in regard to development and top 30 for 2027. Is it similar to Latu and Funa-Iuta where on dev for 2026 and top 30 2027? Or dev 2027?
I mean only 6 dev deals, upgrading Smith will free up a spot.
I did hear that Ryda is top 30 in 2027 but nothing official. Not sure about Coinakis and Fletcher but wouldn't suprise be if Coinakis deal is the same as Ryda. Fletcher perhaps gets a Dev deal in 2027.
I think Lane, Paulo Retire at the end of the year
So we have some even more cash to throw around
I can't see Paulo giving up the best part of a million bucks by retiring a year before his contract ends, old mate .
There is a way Wiz, Paulo has a lot of respect in the Samoan community .
Parra could do worse then keep him on as a club ambassador / liaison officer/ cultural leader heavily involved in the recruitment side of Polynesian players and integrating their family's into the club.
Junior might be happy to have a couple more fights which as a retired player the club could heavily sponsor before enjoying his retirement.
Not a bad earn for Junior with ongoing employment as the carrot on top.
Yes yes and hell yes this is how we use players like Jnr.
The club need to be on top of this.
Recruitment opportunities after footy if they aren't already written in seriously if we aren't looking at this like you mention BUP the clubs got rocks in its head.
Any Polynesian kid playing rugby league knows who Jnr Paulo is,recruiting the mentioned kids starts by talking to mums and dads and being of Samoan heritage speaking the mother tongue goes a long way to getting them across the line.
Take all the recipricol benefits Junior offers, but do we want to retire him at this stage.....NO
Arnie wants to retire him and his judgement is so good they have let him out of Callan Park.
EA, Not sure how I feel about Moses moving to Fullback and Moretti playing half...
What about Tuivita on the wing and Iongi starting prop ...
