Correct. Whether people think he's worth it or not means nothing. Only thing that matters is that other clubs think he is and we had to match it or lose him.
Kite, Murphy and Runciman played first grade with us.
Not sure you can classify Farrah as a junior. Only played in the local comp until 13 then when to Balmain comp. never played junior reps for us.
Nines is completely different to 13 a side. If you saw our nsw cup side last year you'd notice they actually played more attractive football and had more speed than our NRL side.
To all the guys complaining about our team who what you have?
I personally think it's a solid side. I don't think we have the squad to form a strong nines team anyway.
Do stress 7 other teams haven't either and I doubt it's cause of 'mind games'z
