The Fallout of a Premiership

[Darkone]

I think with the cap going up over the next few years (I think) we should be able to keep the likes of Moa and Tupou, particularly tupou as the club seem to have wraps on him.

I hope Jennings will also be a rooster for life!!

We might compare our roster with certain greats, but there is ONLY ONE JENNINGS

[roostersrule2]

We can't let go of Toops he's too good and yes he will be a superstar but why can't we have a superstar?

I'd keep SKD, I love him, the GF proves his determination and toughness. They're are better players but SKD is a great club man and if he was to combine 2010 attack with 2013 defence he'd be the best centre in the game.

Moa on minimum wage? He's a tank one of the best players in the GF, the best forward on that day.

SKD's dedication/bravery in the Grand Final has earned him the right to be a Rooster for life.

Moa is only 27. Props can go around for a while. 3 years at least from him

[chook 56]

Moa must be retained. A priority.

The Riff would have paid some of Jenko's salary this year. Don't know the situation going forward, but sooner or later we are going to have to pay big time to keep him.

Its funny how one game changes things. Before the grand final, supporters of other teams wouldnt have know who Tupou was. But now after a solid GF he is the 'Next Folou'. Unfortunately this is going to bump up his price tag!!

Anyone know when he is signed till?

He re-signed during the season. I cannot remember how long for, but it was either 2 or 3 more years.
I think people took note when he scored that beauty v Knights in prelim. The GF was the icing on the cake.
I hope he does some weights during the off-season and builds up in size and strength so he is able to fight more in a tackle.
I also noticed that we tended to get a lot of penalties this year while Toups was in possession.
A very exciting prospect.

Think you underestimate the Moa factor. He provides the go forward, even moreso than JWH, and without the high risk of ill discipline that Jared can sometimes get involved with.

Moa also setup the SKD try by attracting three defenders and a beautiful late pass to SBW.

Yep, he did the same thing against the Warriors, it'll be another danger that defenders will have to watch out for.

Yeah your right 13 we haven't even scratched the surface with this kid he's only going to get better the club knows what their doing with recruitment and will keep the core of this team together after next year their will be some heartache but that's the nature of the beast in the modern game with Salary caps and successful teams the vultures will already be circling our club.

....and the Minichiello try on Anzac Day.

Just heard Peter Tunks on 2sm state that he is hearing strongly that Ferguson will be in the RWB next year!

Tunks is a hypocrite of the highest order, I do not believe one word he says. Although it does seem he is in O'Sullivan's pocket.

I can't put too much faith in Moga, I just think he is one of those great in the U20s but ....
Not to mention there is at least one better coming through in Milne.

[Tommy Smith]

Heading into next season I think FPN is under the most pressure.

He only played 17 minutes in the GF and played quite poorly tbh. That dropped ball was a shocker.

I think Napa will be licking his lips over his spot in the 17. As will Casty.

[morley101]

You can not expect too much from Moga next year after 2 knee reco's. Always takes 1 season to get some confidence back.

Strangely, considering we just won a premiership 3 days ago, I would suggest FPN is not feeling any pressure at all. In fact I would suggest he is feeling pretty farking wonderful.

I dunno man.

FPN re-signed mid season.

He has played in a GF, won a GF, regained his Test jumper and has plenty of years expierence wise as a first grader at the club.

Plenty of blokes dropped the ball in the GF. Even $BW did one that led to a try.

Everyone should feel the pressure next season. Defending premiers and all. Competition for spots is what keeps players hungry.
