Best prop in the game in league for that salary. What is he in Union? What position does he play? Does he have the same influence? How long does it take to get him to be elite in Rugby? 2 three years? Paying almost 5 mill to develop him and then hoping he resigns? I think it's desperate based on...
That's because nobody outside diehard fans ever see a game. If it was on commercial tv like AFL or League I might give it a look every now and then but It hasn't been on free to air properly in 30 years. There doesn't seem to be a superstar Australian rugby has produced in this time either
Yeah, Aus Rugby has massive problems and they are clearly trying to buy some quality players and marketing by signing league players. They key problem with Union is it has no TV product and never has. Unfortunately they can cherry pick some quality players at the top end but the fact that there...
We have lost so many players to crazy bids from other clubs and sports over the past 25 years.
Payne would be a huge loss but not much we can do about it and NRl won't care.
I am concerned that if we lose Haas with Flegler we will come right back to the field. While historically our issue is...
I am concerned we don't really have replacements for Flegler, Farnworth and Palasia. I know Mariner and other youngsters are there to step up but we are short of backrowers and need an experienced replacement for Flegler.
I like Guler at the Raiders to replace flegler/palasia. Kerr not a bad option either. Want to get someone with first grade experience and for the right price
Kerrod was not as good as Steve overall but would suit there modern game. His pace probably not up there with modern hooker's. He be was fast enough for his time. Kerrod was a big part of our premiership early on. Our best hooker overall in my view.
Herbie is a loss but right call based on money not to match the bid. Mariner will step up but we need to buy an experienced outside back as cover for Mariner. Same with Flegler. We have young guys in the 30 who can step up but need to add experience to the 30 so we avoid the problem we had over...
I see no point entertaining a release. We should just hold him till the end of the contract. Letting him go and trying to get someone else for same cost to do his squad role as well as he does is unlikely. It's not like freeing up the funds does much to improve or maintain the squad.
The best thing we have going is our experience in the conditions. If we can jag a draw with France or at most a one goal defeat we are a slim chance to get second
