    At least now we seem to have the makings of a decent pipeline of young palyers coming through so we arent constantly paying to retain 'past it' players or paying overs to draw in talent.

    Having a good junior pool frees up the bucks to retain marquee players … a luxury we’ve never had. Wallace without the brain snaps is a quality player and standing up to Lodge and the Neanderthals sealed it for me.

The titans might sign Wallace on a reduced deal as they seem to like him but he’s definitely not needed.
    Wallace basically has three choices, us, Broncos (we fell for that before) and the Dolphins. He has two young families on the coast that he won't want to be too far away from so he'll take a reduced deal with us (unless it's too less) if we are offering.

    If Brandon Smith hasn't signed with the Roosters yet then maybe there is something in Tino saying that he is changing his mind every few days. If he was so keen on the Roosters then why isn't the deal done.

    I could be wrong here but I'd think they're just letting the dust settle before announcing it sometime in the new year. They deal is probably already done and rego'd with the NRL.

    I would say it’s done already.. I can’t see him back flipping after saying he would cry to win a premiership in that jersey.. may as well give up on him and move forward.. looking forward to see how booth goes

    I think your right.

    I understand that there is a 10 day cooling off period before the contract can be legally announced.

    So who does that leave? Doesn't seen like many options now. Clark isn't it long term imo.

    No one else really excites me. How good is that junior we have that was training the house down and when would he be ready?

    Is Robson not worth the hassle? Surely he has a higher ceiling then Clarke, booth or boyd

    Probably but he’s contracted until end of 2023 so he would need a release. There was some noise around him asking for one a month or so back but who knows if it is actually legitimate. Hopefully it is.

    Vaka is a good prospect but he isn’t even eligible until 2023 and has a long way to go before he’s ready. Still only 20.

    Well that turned out being as predictable as a cookie cutter movie plot. I didn't see it working out for us either way.

    Hugely disappointing and not just as a fan of our club and unexciting as a neutral or RL fan in general.
    If he didn't come to us then I was sure he'd go the to Dolphins, making one of us a contender at least.
    Going to the Chooks just makes a strong team stronger.
