He tweeted tonight that he isnt he just dosent have a club for next year, And no we need a long term fix.
No we don't. We need someone for 1 season. Out of the options available, Koroisau was the only long term fix. If we miss out on Grant and Turpin (again), we're going to be in the same situation come 2021.

I wonder if we may end up having to buy players for next year. Isn't there some rule that the clubs have to use atleast 90% of their cap? I wonder if Luke would be a purchase, even for 1 year to teach JMK and Cogger some things for the future? Was a Junior or in our system yeah? Have to spend some money if we had space enough for Ramien, Api and/or Herman - a good million one would think? Then we're free again for 2021. A specialist hooker is a must to compete for the 8 let alone any better then that. If he doesn't have a club yet surely he would sign for 250-300k tops?

Loop hole = front load contracts or 'top up'. Whatever you'd like to call it. We have to buy 1 Hooker tho, the best out of a bad bunch.

I say buy Luke. He was an elite hooker. His influence on this young squad would be immense. He is not broken down. No more so than Foran at least. What did Ennis deliver for Cronulla at the end of his career? Do you guys think Cronulla now say Ennis was no use because he only lasted 2 years? Wake up Board. We missed API...give Isaac a call!!! Gees glad we let Ennis go...NOT!!!

I'd say yes, adds experience and leadership and gives us someone to bridge the position for the next couple of years until we grab a long term fix.

I mean Luke's where Ennis would be if he went on for another 3 years. Ennis retired at the perfect time.

He would come for dirt cheap, I’d say $150k $200k absolute tops.
He isn’t done as a footballer, he just needs an environment that isn’t a boys club like the warriors.
He was the best dummy half runner in the game for a very long time, he can take advantage of the ruck, also can sting in defence.

thank fuck some of you guys don't have the club cheque book, we'd have every broken down old has been signed up...….wonder what young Jimmy Sedaris is up to?
Builder. Ran into him at Bunnings. Funny story.

I was walking through the isle and saw this guy that looked like J.S. I wanted to know if it was him and funny enough I was with my mate Jimmy at the time who has no idea who JS is. I let my mate walk past JS and let rip a good " Jimmy! " to see if it was him. JS turns around like something just exploded behind him and looks at me as if I was calling him. Second later my mate walks past him, towards me and was like, "Sup"? Bottom line is yeah, it was JS and his a Builder now, well he was dressed like one. True story.

I all honesty there aint much of a difference in Luke and Api apart from age. Their playing styles are extremely similiar.

What do we have to lose if we sign him as a temp fix. Maybe a 2 year contract with the second year clubs choice to keep him on... he can teach jmk and some younger players at the club. I’m all for it and wait till that marquee player is available. I’m sick of signing players with ‘potential’

I know the club wrote off Reynolds returning but that was in the halves . Put him at hooker for two seasons , pay him peanuts and let the tigers pay the bulk of his contract!
We would still have enough to snag a good young hooker next year if something pops up.
