Nope. The halves market is so weak that the min. he'd get on the open market is $750k. He's still a major talent, any coach worth their salt would think they could turn him into the best 7 in the comp.
A fair bit of attempting to read the tea leaves here, but I think Souths might be Nikorima's last game as starting 7.
Seibold tried to punt him in the offseason but there were no takers. Now he's performed like sh** for 8 rounds, there's more than enough cause to drop him. It's also given...
Yes, but on nowhere close to the $1m he gets paid. Only avoids scrutiny because nobody gives a shit about the Titans. He is easily the most underperforming player in the comp and the worst value contract.
I wasn't against him coming in (although I thought a 5 year deal was ludicrous).
But Seibold is showing all the hallmark signs of a dud.
He doesn't have the foresight or the guts to make changes.
He has ruined what was a good attacking side by bringing in excessive structure despite clearly...
It’s really disappointing because in a month under Seibold, we’ve shown nothing but regression. He has an opportunity to really put his stamp on the roster now and it’ll be interesting to see what he does. At the end of the day it’ll be his arse on the line so he better come up with some...
Yeah and probably fair enough tbh. As a confident athlete I’d be bitter if I thought I was better than players getting put above me too.
I think it was a good move by both parties in the end because he wouldn’t have played for us, but still. He has a pony.
Most logical team possible named. Fifita is better than Su’A anyway so that change was only a matter of time.
Still left with handicaps in the 1 & 7 but didn’t anticipate change this week anyway.
F**k the Cowboys though.
If fit, I’m expecting to see:
Boyd
Oates
Roberts
Bird
Isaako
Milford
Nikorima
Lodge
McCullough
Ofahengaue
Glenn
Gillett
Pangai Jnr
Carrigan
Fifita
Sua
Stages
Think the heat is on a few in the first month. O’Sullivan looks to be, at worst, a competent NRL half and should be pushing Nikorima...
Further, repainting a wall with a new coach's ethos (i.e. standard operating practice in elite sports facilities the world over) doesn't erase WB's legacy.
Nothing can wipe Bennett's legacy from Red Hill. 6 premierships, the profile and financial strength of the club and 100s of young men he...
Not really. The club went through the shit in general last year with the Lodge saga but punting a coach because he's unpopular with the media isn't what happened.
There were alot of internal rumblings about WB essentially nowadays being an unbearably grumpy old man and different after the...
Forgive me. It was hard to remember his 125 total metres gained across said four games.
Ranking our middle depth:
TPJ
Lodge
Joe
Haas
Flegler
Fensom
Carrigan
Mago
Tagataese
I do forget this is actually Glenn's last year on his deal, so there is that. Su'A did have an ankle injury earlier too.
I hate Gillett at 13, especially at the expense of a dynamic ball runner like Pangai. Think his injury concerns are getting overplayed now. He spent all of last year...
