I'm surprised Bennett's name hasn't come up yet.
Long term phins might make sense, but it wouldn’t explain the immediate release, to me that sounds like he can go to a club in contention this year.
He's the one who's supposed to have money up his sleeve. The only way I can see it working for us is if we offered Paix immediate release to the Dragons. He's pretty much dead weight on our books, and deserves much better.
Maybe we were laying the groundwork to squeeze him out early.
If he played 9 for us we WOULD win the premiership, regardless of who (Billy, obviously) Kevvie has coming off the bench.
And they weren’t going to sack hook either.. They all say that, until they do. At the end of the day a club can’t justify keeping a player that publicly doesn’t want to play for you. They are a lost cause for this season anyway, best cut their losses and start fresh next year.
then sack him lol dont try to get him to walk to save a few shekels
or you use what’s left of the year to build into next year.
I dunno, I just got hit with a sickening premonition of Hunt joining us mid season and taking us to the next level, easily making our way to the finals only for a Hunt error to lose it for us again.
We actually have two: if you count Tristan Sailor. He did a fine job of covering for Walsh. He's at least NRL standard, without any glaring flaws like Isaako, Niu, Milford and latter day Boyd. He's even an upgrade on Te Maire.
