"I've seen the interview I've seen it but for me the team doesn't need more finesse it needs more athleticism and more aggressiveness both sides of the ball.I think Schuster is more of that finesse type we aren't after.

"I agree, I think it's worth seeing where he is at. There's a lot of scope (and I mean a lot) for improvement in him from where he's at right now. If his head is in the right place and we got him at a good price he'd be a very good signing. "
"Sorry LE if we are relying on Volkman as a primary next year we are in serious trouble.He's doing an admirable job don't get me wrong but for a whole season I'm not sold we need a serious upgrade at 6 and in the outside backs first and foremost."
"He sounds hungry coryn. He had it all at one stage on 800k suddenly its gone. Maybe his time away has woken him up who knows"
"No one is saying we should be rolling out the red carpet for him. Apparently he has a lot going on in his life and he may well not be suitable. Like anyone else, if he isn't committed it's a hard pass. I just think it's worth the ask to see where he…"
"He's worth a crack. Bennett isn't perfect he doesn't always get it right. Ryles might be able to do something. Some saying get spencer so because robbo couldn't get the best out of him does thst mean he's a lost cause to?"
"Agreed. We have Volkman now, who is a decent enough fill in. Next year Talitaina is old enough if he is good enough. If he is not good enough, that when we need to go to market."

"Bennett doesn't always get it right. Every coach is different. Who's to say ryles can't get the best out of him. Just because wayne couldn't does that mean we don't even try? "

"off contract are Mataele, Matto, Paulo, Richard and Will Penisini, Tago, Kelma Tuilagi, Volkman and Walker. Only signing is Su'A. so that leaves 11 positions if all are top 30. Only 2 I would keep out of them are Volkman and Tuilagi and maybe Walker…"
"Metcalf can easily play 7 or 6, I don't think the position will matter when you have the chance to bring in an elite half with speed. His injuries will always be a factor, so having Lorenzo to back him up will be the card we play until we have…"

May as well declare the off season open - we are done.
A few years ago I had a 2000 vx clubby with only 60 something thousand k's on the clock. The previous owner had done a stack of work to it. I bought it for $17k and had it for 3 years. Barely drove it in that time. Tidied up a few things that needed doing on it. I sold it just before covid and Holden pulling the pin for $25k and was pretty happy with that. I had a look on carsales about a year ago and what do you know there's my old clubby for sale for $69,000!!! It was up for about a week and the listing was removed so I'm assuming he sold it. Sorry mate it just had a LSD in it.
The first car I ever bought with my own money was a Mazda RX2 sedan. Had it for a few years and flogged the guts out of it. My goodness that car flew. You don't want to know how expensive rotaries are these days - like 6 figures or close to it - mental.
Oh I know how much chook cookers are these days mate... if we could only have back the cars we have sold Adza. During COVID the prices went bezerk lol. Holden prices in particular were stupid during the flu scam period, now there's a bunch of fools to refinanced their houses to buy toys at these prices trying to re-sell them cause they can't afford their interest rates . At the time silly boys and girls thought they'd just keep going up and up .
I do love a Vx Clubby . With all the reproduction retro looking wheels being made now in 20s and 22's you can make them look pretty awesome these days. My kids are at that age they're getting a bit car mad and wanted me to get something again after many years of not having V8s . I picked up a VE Calais 6L for a pretty good price and in pretty good shape body and interior wise , but am just overhauling the running gear to make it respectful. It's gotten a bit out of hand now 😂😂
A mate of mine had an RX3 Bridge port back in the day that would be worth a fortune today. All the old rotaries are selling for silly money Rx2, 3 and 7. I thought about getting an RX8 a couple of years ago as they were still cheap (7-10k) thinking they would go off at some point as well. I think they have started to skyrocket now too as I believe they were the last rotary produced?
When my RX2 was starting to give me grief I went and looked at an RX3 coupe which a bloke nearby was selling. It had a 13B Bridgeport and was a lot quicker than my 12A. It had a bit of superficial rust in it but otherwise in good condition.
At that time I needed a reliable mode of transport and rotaries certainly weren't that. I ended up buying one of those Subaru liberty 4wd rs turbos.
Rx8 are dogshit , be glad you left it alone 😂. I can't see them doing anything like the old rotors are doing now. Mybe I'm wrong , but they're just full of issues , and about as desirable as the RX5. I actually think that movement has now gone towards Rotary swapping anything . Obviously people have rotary swapped shit for decades , but now it's more popular than ever due to the prices of old Mazdas. I reckon ipopularity will slip past the RX8s due to even Mazda lovers hating them.
I always loved R100's , RX 2,3 and 7s . Never really liked RX4's for some reason even though I ended up owning one for a while. Just never liked their look. Rx5 was an abortion.
I'm tool old to be worrying about a clutch. Been there done that , these days it's all about the KW's and stall converters for this old grandpa .
Let me rephrase that , I'm too lazy for a clutch these days . Had a heap of manuals over the years and yes whilst lots more fun . I just couldn't be fucked . Supra sounds like a hoot . What are you racing it in ?
Looks like fun. What suspension you run ? Coil overs ? it sticks like glue by the looks of things ?
No, but I'm looking forward to adding a torque splitter to the torque vectoring when the current RS3 is sold and the latest model RS3 comes home.
I've actually driven one of those , but only a hatchback. Had for a few weeks as a loany when the Mrs 4wd got hit as our insurance covers a like for like value type deal. Was a fun car she didn't want to give it back. When the kids fuck off and get their own cars in a few years I reckon she'll be on the hunt for something like that.
