"You'd think there are ratchet clauses & what not that. Iongi has a great attitude & is talented. Good R&R work. Hopefully, Ryley Smith extends long-term too. He's been upgraded to an NRL contract this year (goes on our cap)."

"Think he's just really comfortable at the club and has finally broken into the nrl. Seems happy to be an eel so probably an easy call for him. Doesn't seem like he wants to stuff around with contract disputes or anything like that. "

"I think some underestimated the importance of that player survey as mentioned in the other blog. This is where having the right kind of environment comes in handy - once players are here they just want to stay."

"yes I saw it LB but reckon it is media hype as it also said Brad would have plenty of options if he decided to return to the NRL and we all know he hasn't as he tried and would already be in the NRL as a coach if he did."

"Be interesting to see how much they have ponied up for Iongi.
400 he was on I suspect a healthy increase would be on the cards here.
5 years is a commitment and a good extension by the club he's definitely someone we want to build around."

"Did you see the article that Brad Arthur being eyed to replace Marshall if they get rid of him? Or should I say when as they definitely will.
Marshall is loved by players but his attitude towards coaching won't last. They will more likely start bad,…"

"Hopefully we get Kelly, who will do the job."

"Great signing. Now just sit back and wait to pounce on a couple Tigers players when that club implodes "

"About time we got some good news."

"Well getting Koloamatangi helps. In terms of backs it seems Ryles values a low to mid tier salary Winger. If he is paying good price for one he won't the other so just get a Winger who can do a job either starting or depth wise.
Then hope either…"

"Yes, unlike the previous people who were here."

"I'm surprised he signed this early. 1) he could play Origin at some point in next few seasons particularly with Walsh getting injuries a bit and Ponga could leave the code. 2) New TV deal around the corner where money goes up too.
He has related us…"

"Let's hope Lorenzo and Fletcher kick on into first grade."

"He will only get better, once he finds his voice he will become elite. Reminds me alot of RTS in both build and the way he moves, one of the most fluid players with a ball in hand.
Thats 3/4 spine players locked in long term. Once the 6 is settled…"

"What a feeling this is that a key member of our spine goes into extension negotiations without dragging the club through the mud via the media. Bravo"
