I know the money is attractive, but it still mystifies me how players choose to kill their career voluntarily by moving to Souffs.

Souths aren't the player killer they used to be. Good signing by them and good move by Te'o

Yep, spot on. We are really lucky to still have some of the talent we have. Our team is full of loyal players but loyalty can only go so far sometimes.

I wish Te'o all the best at Souths. Has always displayed a great attitude for us, on top of putting in some excellent performances.

I must admit, I was expecting a bit more glee from yourself, ethos. :cheesy:

TBH I look at the backrowers we have at the club who would be in our regular 17 and without being harsh he was the least necessary to retain when you consider what Glenn, Thaiday, Parker and Gillett all offer. In the end there comes times when clubs needs to be prepared to let a player go, even the quality ones. The club has done extremely well to retain the bulk of our squad for the future but in the end with the salary cap there is just no way to retain every player, Beale and Te'o are quality players, but they are replaceable. I hope Te'o and Beale can finish this season well and success in the future.

Haha I'm not that bad, am I? But as GC said, he's bottom of the list when it comes to backrowers in the top 17.
It does suck that two blokes in our best 17 are leaving though.. screw the salary cap.

Agreed. When you consider we will have the likes of Hannant, McGuire, Parker, Glenn, Thaiday and Gillett on the books next year, not to mention Hodges and Hoffman etc., it really is amazing that we don't have to lose more players. And frankly, Te'o was never OUR player. We bought him. For mine it's no shame if a bought player is forced out. If he were someone we truly developed I'd be a lot more disappointed, even though as a player I think he's kind of expendable in terms of what he offers.
Taylor will be at the Titans next year? (or did I miss something about renegging due to the Titans being bankrupt)

I have a sneaky suspicion he would be more likely to sign with us than the Cowboys (though both seem implausible). Pretty sure his wife wanted to move closer to her family, and Townsville isn't really suitable for that. Plus their pack is just as impressive as our.
I try not to think about it too much though. The idea of Taylor partnering with Gillett is too heavenly to be possible.
