Drumph and Iran.

Thoughts? Did ol' Donnie Drumph go for the oldest panacea in the failing popularity playbook and start beating the drums of war to distract from impeachment?

"If he is top 30, then it is a deal already in place when he signed last year. This would not be a reaction to Lomax leaving.
Similar to like Latu and Funa-Iuta, who are on development for 2026 and top 30 2027."

"With a new team coming into the market, teams are prioritising keeping what they have and those who are on the market are using Perth as bait for higher wages.

"Yeah good point, if Lomax wanted to stay we keep him. But also i have heard Ryles was not too fussed, feeling the price for a Winger was too high."

"Us and 16 other clubs didn't seem to want him either. Go figure. Averillo is a decent player but a Winger? But i hear "Why didn't we go for Averillo" we obviously have seen something other clubs have as well."
