Schoupp Re-Signs

[shannon2009]

The battle for backline positions is going to be intense over the next few years.
dufty
Jac
Naden
Cotric
Allen
Shoupp
Okunbor
Alamoti
Averillo (if a half is signed)
I look forward to all these blokes putting their best foot forward

 

[Hulk76]

Very clever offering him an extension while he is injured lol

 

[rexest]

Good depth signing. Should go well in NSW Cup next year. Hopefully this gives him the confidence to walk into his barber shop. tell them they made a big mistake and demand restitution.

They gave him elliots money, How do you feel about this

 

[D0GMATIC]

He was one of the only positives this year. Excellent news.

 

[Flanagun]

Maybe around 1/4 of it....lol

 

[Kiwipup]

Great re-signing by the club...

Alamoti coming through and with JAC and Naden on the books, along with Whoopi and Allen as backup, it's time to piss Cotric off and spend the 650k elsewhere, where its needed

Schoupp was one of one of few positives from this season. Hopefully he can make the centre spot his own long term. He's a competitor.. The energy and aggression he plays with is something we need more of.

Down the road Schoupp and Alamoti could be our best centre pairing in a long time.

thats a big call, lets hope so

a very good re-signing... as many have noted above, Schoupp was one of the very few positives from this season... I didn't think he was up to FG standard yet watching him play for Mounties (especially defensively) at the beginning of the year but he did well enough and hopefully he has a long FG career with us ahead of him

we don't need anymore outside backs for 2022

 

[flamebouyant]

Can you all please just think of @utility half !! He might be really upset by this news!

 

[B-Train]

These two might never reach that level but they have the potential to be our best pairing since peak JMoz. So 8 or so years. We haven't had a truly great pairing since Tonga and Talau and Tonga and Vagana.

 

[flamebouyant]

Great news. Its good to see the club making moves like this, investing in our youth. Its the only way to be successful in this modern era.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Is this our 30th player to fill the squad?

Or was he already included in that list predicting he would sign[emoji848]

He was already contracted for 2022, is part of the 29. This is about extending him another two seasons.

 

[doggieaaron]

Back to the old days where top players want to stay

 

[FZ1-S]

Nice, Patolo next.

100%

 

[Sword]

Good, would've been silly to see him move to another club

vagana, bring him back, what a player he was us

 

[KiwiDog7]

It baffles me he wasn’t a clear cut rookie of the year this season

 

[CrittaMagic69]

It baffles me he wasn’t a clear cut rookie of the year this season

I can only think of the Covid breach impacting this decision, but we also signed multiple players from other clubs with Covid breaches...

 

[Apex Cedar]

vagana, bring him back, what a player he was us

Peak Idris and Lafai/Morris wasn’t so bad
