reading now, I think ur right.. I must have mis-read it before.. I assume it would be a lowball contract though, it was made before he was any guarantee of playing at all.
though some sources do say stuff like this:
"However, it was the Roosters who ultimately won the race for his signature...
u sure? I read it as we offered a T&T, they offered a Dev.. but I suspect they upgraded it at some pt...
the media were initially making it out as it was top30...
Do you know if Ramsey got promoted to Top30? They had him on a Dev spot I believe despite all the media hype.. theyve timed it well with him on contract till end of 2027 for peanuts.. then Rex can probably step in.
Good fella from another forum indicating there is 1 board member talking with Cheika.. another 100% in on Young.. I don't want to get anyones hopes up.. but that pleases me no end.. #soursayingtheresachance.
I do wish more fans (and media) would consider there is far more to a squad player than simply analysing the 80 minutes we see on the field... stuff that will never be shared publicly. We can have our views, but we have to give the coaching staff some benefit of the doubt from time to time.
I'm trying not to get too upset by it cause it seems like nothing is stopping Young's appointment.. half of me wants to support him and give him the best shot (which we can only hope he is better than we thought), but the other half wants to tear up my membership as a protest to this sort of...
Sua is gone for the season.. so Leilua may still be quite useful to us.. we're only half way thru the season.. that said if its a personality thing.. well so be it.
Would like something for ourselves before June 30 though.. I've lost track of our 30, we did have 2 spots.. unless Tu took 1 of em..
That's a small pool.. so it really could just be a path back for Young.. still surprised he would be as bold to do it while his son is likely in the coaches chair.. its going to be attacked non-stop when we lose games.
Regardless I'm still excited to hit the reset button, Doust has a lot of...
Who is unlucky to miss out u think? I was going over it in my head.. like maybe a CMeafou or an Andrews.. Creighton might be a year young even... but no real obvious picks? But honestly most of our best young ones are already 19-21yrs old now... and the ones behind are more in that 16-17...
oh man thats the next podcast in my queue lol.. huge news..
the timing I find fascinating.. would love to know whats gone on.. Piggott was his right hand man I think?
If I was Craig Young though, honestly distance urself with ur son likely to be stepping in.. which is rly what he does afaik...
jesus.. I am rly surprised by that.. asking price just went up also.
Edit: I guess we have the bye.. that would be part of it..
Edit2: Toby will be pi$$ed.
