Rugby powerbroker’s ‘cold feet’ over Suaalii deal as Robbo’s heart-to-heart revealed

Bates letting it go

That's an old photo Bruh and doesn't showcase my tats from my recent Bali trip. I got a nice discount when I mentioned the password SKD.

I think we should let him go. He's good but he's not worth the silly money that he's on. That money should be spent elsewhere!

You’d assume though that this will be Toops’ last season. If so I’d hope we can keep Suaalii.

Most assumed 2023 would be JWH’s last season. Most assumed 2024 would be Keary’s last. Wrong and Wrong.

Why would you assume that. At the start of the 2025 season he’ll be 33 … 2 years younger than Brett Morris was in his last season.

Toops hasn't lost much so I'm hoping he sticks around for 2 more seasons. His contribution is priceless. I still think he's rep quality!

I don't see it happening. The signing of Suaalii was/is a massive coup for them. I reckon just as uncle Nick has said, he will waste his time in the other code before coming back home to Easts.... probably to wear the #1 jersey post the Teddy era.

I’d rather have him playing for us in 2025 with Toops possibly retiring, or even Angus leaving and switching JS to an edge 2nd row.
