Allan and JMK gone....wow. Add Flanno to that list and this will be the best Christmas ever
Is this guy reliable? The same page has stated Paulo has signed. I know he called Mahoney early..

I’d say it’s the talk from tigers today about clearly being after cotric and the fact we sign a average reserve grade half when we finally have a semi decent squad for 22. Good backline we haven’t had in a decade basically with dufty Jac naden schooup and cotric.

I’m all for Mahoney and kikau and get cotric might be on a little overs? Though paying 150/200k for him to play elsewhere isn’t overs. It’s us being stupid.

You replace that spot with that 150/200k and your at 400kish. Fuck that. Keep cotric.

If Mahoney is coming ok whatever I get it.

If he isn’t till 23 play 22 with cotric.

Give him A chance with quality roster he’s 23 and a Fucking good player who was surrounded by trash.

Then spend next season cotric.

Dolphins coming 23 will in my opinion be a simple one for allen as he’s a qld lad and Wayne’s had him at Brisbane and bunnies.

Flanagans dad could get a gig and reunite in 23!

Hell waddle and some flogs could be options for dolphins…

Worst case I’m sure someone wants cotric with 1 year left at 24 ffs and he would want a new deal to be secure too.

Keep cotric ffs.
Take Cotric out of our backline and replace him with nobody then our 2022 backline starts to look not so great.

Give Cotric a go with other than the complete shit team we had in 2021 and see how he goes. He's a really good player - no doubt about it, just give him a chance.

End up with all backups and no fucking first graders is why..plus us pro Cotric's aren't happy, each to their own..
All backups and no First Graders?

So Burton, Fox, Mahoney, TPJ, Kikau, Vaughan, Dufty, Naden etc aren't First Graders and are backups? Man.. What a bunch of shit signings we made..

This kid probably won't even get a top 30 spot.

Exactly this.

Take cotric out and our backline looks far less exciting.

Dufty - will get a go at fullback, i am quietly confident. No guarantee though.

Fox - lock it in. Gun. Though if dufty fails he could maybe get a shot at 1? No way dufty goes to wing.

Schooup - coming back from shoulder though yep I think he’s one.

Naden - centre or wing lock.

Cotric - beast.

Next up? Burns, Allen, Okon, Alomiti while we all want probably won’t be regularly for another season at best.

Burns has been injured more than Foran. Good player but big concern. Allen? I don’t know maybe can find the qld form but that was fullback. Centre? Wing? Not in cotrics galaxy. Not even naden in my eyes. Okon? Maybe if he got some consistency.

I don’t like it but I understand it for 23! If we are going to get kikau or Mahoney for 22 I’ll understand it. I would be for it for 22 as Mahoney is vital to squad.

Kikau id accept as if nothing else a pack of tpj kikau Thompson hetho jacko Vaughan excites me to see some big mean ***** have a go haha and even us blokes could probably finish some overlaps these blokes would create.

Still if no Mahoney or no kikau for 22. Keep cotric ffs.

People saying clubs would low ball us for cotric for 23? I don’t see it. Cotric won’t be taking much less than he’s on. Maybe 100/150k? He would be on his last year and want a future contract locked up. No doubt he would attract 500k from someone and if not multiple clubs.

I also think dolphins will be keen as mustard for Allen. Wayne has a history with Allen from broncos, bunnies, qld…

Can break tackles, probably more if he learns to run sideways - so decent cotric replacement

Its great to have quality depth in NSW cup so blokes like Okunbor wont think they're a walk up replacement when JAC is on Origin duty, etc.. but actually work hard for a spot.

Duffty
JAC
Schoup
Alamonti
Naden

Backup/NSW Cup

Allan
Burns
Lumelume
Okunbor

100% doesnt make sense to me unless someone is getting an early release

All this moving of the chess pieces is telling me one thing...... Another Big Name Signing Is Coming!!!

The only one that makes sense to me is "Junior Paulo".

A gun Half Back would make more sense but there are none coming off contract.... Maybe a gun Fullback????..... Ponga???
