Verrills vows to remain the big cheese at Bondi when Smith arricves

[Team Evil]

Sam is a first grade starting hooker at most clubs and I reckon a couple of them will throw big bucks at him especially if he has a good year ,see what happens but I don't think he is on huge money with us and football careers can be short. He has won a premiership with us given us good service id take the big bucks and go if I were Sammy.

This is a business, he is contracted, no way we should let him go if we can afford to keep him. What if someone gets injured.

Good news all round. Lovin the tude from Sam.

Looks like Cheese won't get a walk up start and will need to compete for a gig like the rest of the squad.

I get the point but the Cheese is a marquee signing. While I'd love Verrills to be the form rake of the season & get picked as the Australian #9, I think we're in fantasy world there.

No doubt Verrills and Watson are solid players and I wanna see both of 'em carve up. But... right now Cheese is the standard and if Robbo can improve Verrills/Watson THAT much then imagine where Smiddy would be after an offseason with him.

I don’t think Robinson is concerned about your pay packet when picking a side to win him games. He benched Crichton for the ‘19 finals series after being our marquee signing that year.
