100% - been going on for years.
Luai doesn’t fix our problems. He is a running 5/8. We need an organising 7.I don't think Gus wants Luai unfortunately
This is a best case scenario outcome which ill be praying for. The young forwards at the club dont have any pack leaders to get around and havent for a couple of yrs now
Leaders are so important. Bullfrog got great value out of Brokenshire and McGuire decades ago. Kevin Ryan and Bob McCarthy are rated two of the best signings ever.
Can't see Roosters letting May go early. He will be a bargain on their sombrero for 2024, and an extra year and he is worth more, and that will mean that Roosters will have more to spend when he leaves. That's how the Roosters Sombrero works anyway, doesn't it? They sign on for X but when they leave the Roosters it frees up what they are worth, not the original contract.
Does anyone know if West Tigers will let Klemmer go for 2024 anyway? As I understand it, West Tigers are freeing up SC for the Luia offer, that is for 2025. Maybe if they let Klemmer go early they could do what we did with Cotric etc let them go two years early, but the payout comes out of the first year so it is free and clear the year after, when we were wanting to spend big.
You dont??
Patolo still hasn't trained yet and I see more upside in the kids even though Hughes is training well this season.
Top 8 Side if we can get AFB +1
Nah let them keep Klemmer, I wouldn’t even take Klem on a reduced deal if it means we help the TigPies with cap space to get AFB.
Brokenshire agree but I don't recall Bruce McGuire doing fxxk all for us...late 90s I saw McGuire plastering on a jobsite at granville tafe
still need a quality half back and another powerhouse forward
I hate the thought of waiting for the key player to come back into the weekly squad to "win games"... Hate to bang the drum but it's about the team ultimately. Regarding props, each season a new couple key props sprout, have a look at the recent top earners, Gus is doing his thing, and CC is working with what he's being given. Hoping our forwards work hard, backs helping and tactics that'll help with yardage (I prefer a simple game with an offload and second phase that way it's interchangeable between missing forwards). It seems though today it's mainly about playing from the back through block plays, bit tiring for those not hitting up and needs chemistry and communication. I feel it's overused, but heck, Panthers have been successful with it so everyones onto it
Nice remix, yet prefer the bootleg original, i.e. the one before actually being released worldwide, yet only 750 vinyl pressed.
That’s all it is.
