I thought he was one we might of have bought back a couple of years ago but haven't heard much of him. Hasn't kicked on since.

I think with origin mid season minor premierships have less value than other sports or comps. Premierships are a better measure for NRL

Fair Enough.

I don't hate the storm. I know I am an outlier on here. I know a couple of ex storm players and I live in Melbourne. Aami Park is a good venue and atmosphere, particularly Anzac night game.

I have tried but I just can't get into AFL.

I thought someone on here might react like that.

Unlike almost all on here, Melbourne is my second team. I live in Melbourne and go to the games. A bit like Lang Park in the 90s. Also, in AFL land it's a nice little oasis.

Agree it's not overs based on what could have been paid and the criteria you have set out. I think it is a little bit of overs in cap management. 1.2 on a prop is not ideal.

That's because the whole town of Brisbane will click on the stories. Walsh and Mam I think will stay. We have already lost Flegler, Palasia and Herbie and will probably lose Oates, Capewell in the next year or two.

It's a little bit of overs for me but acceptable.

I think we will lose Capewell, Oates and possibly Hetherington. I think we will also lose Sailor at some point if he isn't in the 17. I hope that we don't pay overs for any non spine player to stay as that will cause issues moving forward.

No. I don't think Pep wanted him. I think those he does like are better to stay and bide there time for a year or two before potentially leaving or becoming part of the best 11. Not sure they wanted to play Rodri as much as they did but Phillips didn't work out.

A year or two. Worked for Foden

I think that Pep comment is more being gracious on his departure than endorsing him. But also Lavia like Sancho and others clearly didn't want to bide his time out of the first team. Take your point about Poch and Kovacic.

I agree. He is a quality player but not worth the money if it effects keeping Mam, Walsh and others. Two first grade quality props to replace him for that money will do nicely.

Only rest for precautionary injury management where if it was must win you would play them.

Not exactly the core of our team.

Dan Ginnane is the worst. Not really a good commentary option on 9 or Fox anymore.

I agree. He is a good player but we can do without him. I think the same about Herbie too. Those players you can't pay overs for and so glad we didn't. An experienced solid forward to replace him will suffice.

Bulldogs were after Paix and a good fit for them. I think Paix will get there just prob not with us as he is being outperformed by Smoothy and Walters
