Yeah Bellamy needs to be realistic in regards to a swap: 1 year of Brandon Smith vs Topine's future isn't exactly equal.

My dude @ASSASSIN's mail has been rock solid so far.
Captain Jackson - Lock, 2nd row, hooker

Topine - hooker, 2nd row, lock

Elliot/Idiot - 2nd row, lock

JMK - hooker, or backs

Katoa - signed to ESL

Waddell - 2nd row, lock



They're the options, its either Topine or it's either Jackson with us paying some of his freight in 2023 (you'd expect Smith and Jackson to cancel each other out, salary cap wise, for 2022)

Don’t understand why it would need to be a like for like from us, can’t it just be from anywhere really as long as it’s an equivalent swap?

No need for us to offer anyone.....except Elliott.

This article is a scare tactic that Buzz wants to share with any future player wanting to sign with us.

For example, I think he has wind that Rudolf is considering coming to us and Buzz being a Sharks supporter doesn't want to see that happen so the best he can come up with is show such players like Rudolf that because of how we are going this year and also previously calling us a basket case players of Smith's calibre don't want to play for us which Buzz hopes is a turn off for Rudolf giving the Sharks a better chance to keep him....sly dog!!
Good post

Got to say, I'd be OK with Josh going to the Storm

Granted everyone wants to know what's going on in the background.

But sharing on a public forum would not be the wisest decision.

Delayed gratification with a good result is better than instant gratification with no result.

Agree but really only because we have him signed until 2023 at 750k each year, I don't think he'll be worth that in 2023.
Storm wouldn't pay half of that, would they?

JJ outpriced himself leaving surely.

Any of our players off contact next year can’t really be considered as a swap.
Also, Sione Katoa is not a done deal in the ESL!!
