Olive ffs, is he still floating around?Luemelu is already gone to the Cowboys and I’d like to keep the rest except for Olive.

I like Kalache he’s been great in CCup this year so I’d like to keep him around and see how he develops. Tass is still Flegg age so he might even get another development contract if you can give them out for a second year? Harper I’m 50/50 he’s really regressed this year so I’d like to keep him but wouldn’t be that upset if we didn’t.Thanks for the update on Luemelu!
Id only keep Katoa from the off contract list
Hope he enjoys his last few weeks as a professional footballer because it will be his last.Olive ffs, is he still floating around?
If it means working with the space in the cap that's available then bravo. Would still probably have wanted a top shelf prop rather then Britt and Ese tbh though.If we sign Britt, Ese’ese, Koroisau, Ramien on top of Stimson and DWZ then recruitment has absolutely nailed it!
This is exactly how I look at it.Britt has shown he can play first grade this year and it’s not like he’s been bought as a starter. He isn’t a bad depth signing.
Britt and Ese’ese would probably be on a combined $600k and that’s a very high estimate. You wouldn’t get a too shelf prop for that.If it means working with the space in the cap that's available then bravo. Would still probably have wanted a top shelf prop rather then Britt and Ese tbh though.
Pretty sure we can find another 100k from somewhere to manage that. If RFM is still on outer then It probably wouldn't be an issue..Britt and Ese’ese would probably be on a combined $600k and that’s a very high estimate. You wouldn’t get a too shelf prop for that.
We don’t have that many players off contract so if you use all that cash on a top shelf prop you might not have enough left to pay a couple of players on minimum wage to get fill the squad to 25.Pretty sure we can find another 100k from somewhere to manage that.

Would just rather gamble on Ogden, Kalache and RT for one more yr rather then let them languish in reserves.
Its all fizzle if we have no idea what's going on the books anyway.. Will naturally speculate a team where Tolman and Napa are your starting props and you have a near dozen other smiliar props to fill in the other spots.We don’t have that many players off contract so if you use all that cash on a top shelf prop you might not have enough left to pay a couple of players on minimum wage to get fill the squad to 25.
Wouldn't Tolman be close to retirement considering he would be 31 next year?Its all fizzle if we have no idea what's going on the books anyway.. Will naturally speculate a team where Tolman and Napa are your starting props and you have a near dozen other smiliar props to fill in the other spots.
Tolman will keep going till his 34-35 I reckon. Probably get one more short contract the dogs before he leaves.Wouldn't Tolman be close to retirement considering he would be 31 next year?
Wonderbread teamI still think Britt is a shit signing, imagine having Tolman, Britt an Elliott on together... Lol.
As a prop he’s in his prime haha but you would think all the hit ups on the 4th tackle will eventually take their Toll... if his willing to reduce his minutes to around 45-50 per game and his not breaking the bank he can play another 2-3 seasons. As ineffective as he is with the ball he does work hard and probably trains hard, doesn’t get involved in any off field incidents etc ...Wouldn't Tolman be close to retirement considering he would be 31 next year?
You forgot one.I still think Britt is a shit signing, imagine having Tolman, Britt an Elliott on together... Lol.
^ He beat me to it.Thats a wet dream for pay you forgot c.smith
Yeah that's it. Would probably be on the same money as Francis Talau so will be depth option and if he goes well, then that's cream.Whether he's a squad filler or pushes his way into the team, we do need 30 players and he won't break the bank. I watched just enough of a South's game recently to think he's reasonably good without being a game breaker. He didn't star but didn't look out of place at NRL level. So I don't expect the world from him, but think he's going to get a few chances to claim a top 17 spot.
It's up to him to impress the coaching staff to establish himself. If he fails to establish himself it's not a huge issue given that he'll start out as a depth signing. I'm hopeful that he takes a leaf out of his dad's book and winds up earning the same kind of respect I had for his dad.
