"LB, do you get the feeling JR is ultimately aiming for a reasonably high footy IQ six? Not just your archetypical "running" six who can defend and has some ball skills. Think his connection with Pezet. Walker. Iongi. He chose Junior over RCG. Foxxy…"
"Thats the bit that upsets me, we should have sacked BA after that GF for not taking it seriously. That 2020 squad should have also made the GF, same the 17 squad as well. "
"Well i can say we are going in the right direction, not rushing in to buy or sign anyone. Just annoyed over the 22 GF and that BA era. It really did upset me on how we handle the GF week and day and i just blame those at top that we should have been…"
"I do not know much on Fletcher either but i wonder if he is in the awkward spot of Moses still has another 4 years left and Fletcher could be looking at FG in 2 years. Does he wait? Or can he be a 5/8?

"Defensively fragile and in free-fall post 2020, it's an illusory narrative, self-trickery, that we should have built on the 22' GF. It was an inevitable fall under the Jeckyl-Hyde defence and unadaptive coaching systems of the previous era."
"Right and the same board that brought Ryles in. I am not letting board off the hook as i have stated im holding my judgements til end of 2026 to see if it is working or not. I feel we would benefit from someone like Brian Smith at least with some…"
"Because this board was the same board that got us in the mess, we should have been on a roll after 22. Yet we signed duds and kept BA at the helm for too long. Ryles comes in and parra start to play better than they have in the past 20 years go…"
"So we are going in the right direction but the f the board? How can that be the case? Like saying this VW golf is the best car i have ever driven, engineers did a great job but f*** VW.

"Souths also have a tighter cap too with money in Latrell, Wighton, Walker, Arrow, Murray and the likes. Plus Gray re-signed, Duncan to be signed etc.
Apparently they have matched his money demands but the years are the deal breaker."

"Maybe we already have stars in the ranks already, Tuivati, Moretti, R.Pensini, Cameron Bamblett, Ryda Talagi, Guymer, Joash, Toni Mataele. So many young guns in the ranks, maybe we need just one star prop and star outside back and then bring all…"

"I disagree that minutes are necessarily a factor in a player's value. Middle forwards often contribute more in 40 minutes than many outside backs."
"Wiz, even though I’ve got a soft spot for Gus, I fully agree with you on Cleary. Class. Pity what happened with Ando and us. Some of our players (2010) and politics let him down. Saints are lucky to have him. Not sure why he left the Roosters?"
"That's why South's haven't rushed into giving him what he wants.
Hes a good player don't get me wrong but not for that new TV deal or not.

"Keaon can play 80 in the middle, he did for Souths. Now look at Terrell May and you see you cannot do that every week. But i also agree that $900k plus for a middle is too much, exception to Haas and Tino as they are once in a lifetime talents. But…"
"Firstly, it's not the EPL transfer window, so deals aren't being done left, right and centre. Second, it's the last pre-season signing period before the new franchise is admitted, meaning plenty of players are stringing out negotiations to get…"

Matterson’s back @ training today. What now.
What would you want the club to do in regards for Matterson’s 2026 season now that it seems he'll be a starter. If he gets back to his 2022 form, does he get into the 17??

Pou has linked the right video. Go to 4min 30sec for Keaon talk.
Oh ok sweet.
Things that don't exist are usually quiet
Seems to be a few clubs interested in Kolomatangi.
Weve obviously got the cash for this move now all that has to happen is we close this deal.The long and more drawn out it becomes the less chance we have.If I'm honest I don't think he wants to leave Souths.But it's going to take an over pay in salary and years to swing this deal as South's rate the player they just aren't all in like we'll have to be to land him.
That's the thing Coryn. Is it possible to pay too much for Koloamatangi? I think it is. Every club has some wiggle room on how much they can afford to overpay. Hopefully Moses hasn't taken up all of ours.
💯 we don't want to be over paying a guy that in all essence is only on the field 50-60 minutes tops.You only spend that on guys who can swing results.Me personally he's a 650-700 k player you throw in the TPA and that gets him to the number he wants but for me like what we are paying Jnr it's too much.
Keaon can play 80 in the middle, he did for Souths. Now look at Terrell May and you see you cannot do that every week. But i also agree that $900k plus for a middle is too much, exception to Haas and Tino as they are once in a lifetime talents. But also on the other end, when the new TV deal is completed $900k should be the new $700k. So could be a bargain.
I am not too concerned with the salary, more so the years as that seems to be our main selling point to Koloamatangi, if true. 4 years is a long time to commit to a 29 year old middle in 2027.
That's why South's haven't rushed into giving him what he wants.
Hes a good player don't get me wrong but not for that new TV deal or not.
900 plus you better be a special talent or effect results.He won't be playing 80 minutes here we all know that so imo the automatically tells me I'm not paying that and very few are.
Only thing driving these prices is the position we are in and supply and demand.
Souths also have a tighter cap too with money in Latrell, Wighton, Walker, Arrow, Murray and the likes. Plus Gray re-signed, Duncan to be signed etc.
Apparently they have matched his money demands but the years are the deal breaker.
I disagree that minutes are necessarily a factor in a player's value. Middle forwards often contribute more in 40 minutes than many outside backs.
