i have used this analogy with HS offline...but do we want to be like the bulldogs wishing they didn't let some kid called Thurston leave and go to the cowboys? right now we are the bulldogs, umming and ahhing and manly are the cows...are we gonna let him go? or pay him what he is worth, plus maybe a bit extra based on potential and to keep the poachers away.
There's only one JT, so im not saying LG is going to be an immortal, but he has shown PLENTY to give us confidence moving forwards, and losing him would be a bad thing.
think of it this way...why are Manly offering a 3 year good contract for a kid with 2 games to replace a current AUS half?
