    Maybe we should ask Toupo if he has a cousin who might be as disinterested in playing 6. It would work out ok as long as he was the lowest paid 5/8 in the NRL.

      We don't need anyone , we just need to stick with our young crop of players , I just hope we are smart enough to keep them.
      Look at Evans and Napa , we made a good choice in keeping them.
      Given time , Hasting , Nikorima , Watson , L Mitchell will be our spine , then look at our under 20's , there are some good players there.

      It's been a rough year so far , but I'm enjoying watching the young guys find their feet , a bit of luck, some better play options , and no thanks to the bunker vs Manly we could have been in the top 8.

        And Butcher and Manu coming thru. We need to look at Manu as our other strike centre next season. If there are problems with his D, then work overtime on it with him in the off season. There are no good centres available to buy, we need to work with what we got and he has the potential to be a weapon for us. Cost less as well. 350 for copout, FMD, and BNE r only subsidising that this season. Next year it's all ours to pay.

          Incidentally, both Butcher and Manu didn't finish Mon nights game both came off injured.
          Butcher head knock.
          Manu walked off at half-time for scans. Not sure on the nature of injury.

            I'd sign him for a year or two.

            He's a great player. A no nonsense tradesman who can close a game.

            He'd be a great foil for Hastings.

            Assumes no Pearce though.

              Pearce is on around the $750k mark plus 3rd party deals... That's a bit rich for mine

                  Too right... So who is worth that out on the market?? If Norman only wants $600k. Coote only wanted $600k... Big savings to made there

Norman is most definitely worth upwards of $800K when you consider that. Hell we paid Pearce $700K a season on a $6.3M cap. 11% of the cap, yet you don't think Norman is worth 8% of a cap even though he is a pure footballer, whilst Pearce is a manufactured one. I wouldn't be paying big coin though for Moses but when guys like Hodkinson and Mbye can already command $700K + then you have to realize that is where the market is at these days for the average halves in the competition. If you want to continue to pay peanuts then expect to be only able to sign also rans.

                      Would you quit your bitching, you whining cur? All of these dogged canine insults are ruff, even by your barking mad standards. This terrierising of Pearce is reminiscent of the herding mentality the likes of that lassie Rebecca Wilson would lap-up. You're digging-up dirt on the guy, despite him being brought to heel. Our Mitchell has as fine-a-pedigree as you'd find, you mongrel. You should treat him as a Pal or Chum, not some rabid creature, you complete wag. Please stop throwing him to the wolves - it's the tail-end of this particular saga and don't you think it's about time you rolled-over and let this issue just play dead? Let's just shake, fetch a cup of tea and just stay. Staaaay... Good boy.
