"Well i forgot who here said it but the report was he took Tuivaiti under his wing and that is why he stayed. I reckon he is doing the same to Talagi and Brown. They all talk how good Moa is with the Polyneasian boys but Paulo, added with the respect…"

"Yep, I'd much rather Paulo on our side than in the opposition. He had one of his best seasons for many years this year and is still strong and skilful. As you say, I can see Junior in a mentoring role for the younger players."

"Add to that the long list of rookies at the club, many of which were thrown into NRL last season. It's not quite Dad's Army, but the club does need to ensure that we continue to have the right mix of experience and youth."

"Yep people so focused on just performances rather than how good of a role model he is for Polynesian boys which make up more percentage of nrl players each year"

"Yeah if we didn't sign de Belin with the chance we keep him for 2027 i would feel much better. It all depends on how father time goes about it. Does he decline faster? Or is Ryles using him very well to the point he adds value in other areas? Having…"

"lol"

"The fact they're so misunderstood is why the RLPA came out and stated that reporting POs was a breach of privacy. There was a lot of backlash against the players for having these in their contracts. What this means is that, while POs are still being…"

"They play very different roles. JDB is in the team for his work rate while Paulo is there for is carries."

"If it's a 1 yr deal on 5-600k, why not just extend de belin on a third of that instead?"

"Think I'm the only one worried about resigning a 32 yr old 120kg front rower on big money when we have a stack of young middle forwards emerging "

"Moretti and tuavaiti are going to struggle to get into the 17 this year + 1 or 2 gun middle forwards coming through cup. But sure resign an old man on rediculous money, it's the parra way aha"

"Thanks. 
Life has taken priority."
