Again it would appear that we have a culture issue and by the way they played, or if I am being politically correct, did not play last week a discipline issue. I can feel another touch up on Saturday
Recruitment and Retention for 2024

Sarcasm. Picking Zac on the wing to make way for Bird in the centres is fuking idiotic!

Sorry mate. I think we may have lucked out with yet another coach in the ilk of the three you mentioned.

I'd guess it's certain Lomax gave Hunt permission or even asked Hunt to make it public. Can't blame Hunt for this.

It was written that the sook confided in Zac. That means in confidence. Zac is a big boy now so what is stopping him telling the coach of his intentions. After all Hunt has no say over whether a player stays or goes.

My take is it is a player issue and the disrespect being shown to a popular local junior all because a coach is playing favorites. Griffin played favorites where is he now? This should have been sorted out before the season started.

Terrell has made it crystal clear that it is all three siblings or at the least two, or no deal. Roosters are seeing his manager this week for only him no mention of his brothers being part of any deal. Still Nick usually finds a way to get his man.

Just an attempt to get a better deal for firstly all 3 and when no one was interested in that, only for the two of them.

Didn't we say the same thing about AFB and Dearden. Flanagan has to stop pussy footing round with potential recruits and try some hard ball.

I agree but if it comes down to a bidding war,
- Is he that good? I rate him from what I've seen but he's hardly up there with the best props.
- What chance do we have of outbidding the Roosters?
- We don't need another young centre.

No chance if Terrell alone. I agree we dont need another centre, but we do need a big young prop with promise, not another 30 something has been. Play Taylan in Ressies, he'd still be at the club, which is all his big brother wants.

But there is still the "little issue" of the salary cap. We have 2 centres on big money (for centres), another who isn't a centre playing centre on very decent money and a couple of highly rated young centres almost ready for first grade.

Betting we have plenty of dosh left in the kitty. Perhaps not so had we landed AFB and Dearden. How much do you reckon we'd offer both Mays. The prop is currently on something measly like $250k, not sure what the winger/centre is on. So say a 700/800k package deal wont break the bank.

700-800k on a package deal won't happen. The prop alone will get about that much.

Up from 250k, doubt Nick will be that generous to a guy who has played only 22 matches in two years. There is one other speed bump to nabbing both, they have different managers.

Wy do coaches love picking players that they coached before and had success with ? Do they forget these players are older now and slower now ....... Bird if he is to play it's on the bench ...........

Maybe. I thought he'd had a much longer and better record. But no way both can be signed for 800k.

While he is at it let Hunt go too ...... Honestly Hunt should have been let go when he wanted out ..........EELS LEAD RACE FOR UNSETTLED LOMAX

If Flanno wants to continue screwing around with Lomax on the wing, should just let him go. Put to bed the bad press and the risk of having unhappy players walking around, kicking stones.Grudge match set to ignite as Souths point finger at Roosters over Latrell; four teams eye Dragons star — Jimmy Brings
