I see the big problem in the discussions about the forward pack, is that some people seem to overrate them.
Have a good look and see how many would be picked up by other clubs. I know a few might get a gig but on small money.
Martin is a great kicker, but an average forward. He will be replaced by Stimson who promises much more.
The rebuild is ongoing and it will be different soon.

We've now released 2 players with first grade experience in Tualau and Martin and replaced them with 2 players with no first grade experience, well done
At the end of the day Stimson is going to take Martins spot and Tualau, well anybody could take his considering he didn't offer much anyway.

I just watched that video which was not too shabby
Reece seems genuinely disappointed to be leaving our club
Wonder what the real story was.

Exactly... bloke seemed gutted.

We shafted him hard, yet he still couldn't hammer us.

Nu Brown off the field seems to have matured quite a bit. We need to work with him on field I feel, as club aren't doing right by him either.
Yeah I felt that maturity oozing as he drove and danced like an 18yo flog to his cookie cutter rap music.

I think Leeds offered him a long term deal on good money and we were only going to offer him a one year contract again. It’s probably worked out best for both parties to be honest. Martin gets his pay day and he was a rough diamond at 26 years old for us. I’m not sure how much more he was going to improve at such a late stage in his career.

Thanks for that information mate,didn’t realise he is 26
Pretty old lol
It’s a shame because the guy showed glimpses of talent at times
Just not on a regular basis,
I hope he has success in the UK

A real decent bloke.

Nu might have a contract in UK also when he goes over in 9 weeks?

I have a feeling Nu is still in the clubs plans. Possibly Lichaa OUT Brown IN.

I think a lot came down to being sick of the coach and lack of gametime.

Yes but your last sentence applies to Brown as well....
