Runs hard and into gaps pretty well as well. Even his defence has gotten pretty good. He's not lazy anymore either. Unless the Dragons unearth a couple of breakout second rowers in the off season, I think Leilua will play Origin next year.
Disagree Mcinness like McCullough have reached their use by dates. If we are going to move forward next season. McCullough has to pull the plug Muhleisen in. Alternatively Hunt to hooker in 23 or if he extends 24/25. Sullivan/Amone combo although I don't rate Amone at this stage but perhaps he may go better behind a pack going forward. We need to purchase a new prop asap top priority
Wouldn't go that far but we could have used him this season
Just wait and see. If he played for the Roosters, he's already have been given a few chances.
He is too far down the pecking order
In your books is he in front of Tariq Sims?
Yep. Mary and his R&R team stuffed up letting Lucie go. Just trying to recall what he said when told he was unwanted. Along the lines of; 'I have been here since I was 15 or 16, love the place.. but perhaps I got too comfortable.'
Yes maybe now. But we could have used him the past two years instead of wasting good cap brass on the human snail.
Front Office has already said Muhleisen wont play Firsts before 2024.. that is telling me Mac the snail wont be pulling any plugs and will see out his contract. BTW I did not see in the Tele his name in the first 50 of the NRL Top 100 earners. So he must be pulling in excess of $650K.. you are kidding.
Would have been better than Macca but how much money did he want to stay?
Your guess is as good as mine. What was he earning at the time. As it turned out the Sharks have given him $500K. So perhaps he shud've accepted what we offered then he'd still be our hooker and skipper which is probably his preferred position and the Dragons his preferred club..
I heard he was on much more than that at the Shonkies. Like around 250K more a season. He was on big money. I think Dragons were paying him about what he is on now at the Shonkies but were only willing to offer him around 500K. That's just a rumour but one that makes sense, IMO.
Think you meant "when Blues unearth"
Not according the the Tele Top NRL earners. He is contracted at $500K and is ranked the 100th top earner.
If Hunt signs an extension, unfortunately that seems likely. Almost certain.
Well, that's weird. I would have thought he'd be worth 500K as a hooker. At least was. Probably bulked up too much now.
My Dogs have been linked to him a couple of times now, really sorry for possibly taking him away because he seems to be a fan favorite. If Macca retires, would Sullivan stay and play 9 or is his preference to play7?
He's been tried at 9. Results weren't great. He's an out and out halfback. He is a fan favourite but perhaps fans have been overly optimistic. He's had one chance at halfback in first grade and messed it up.
