Moved to Australia as a 12 year old , so might explain having to pay him overs to relocate I guess .
pffft, how about "do you want a job bro? Or do you want to play in the Qld Cup? Okay, here's $300k and a first grade spot"
maybe he called their bluff and said no thanks
Is there a cap floor in the NRL?

Souths kicking the living shit out of the Broncos. No flies on Bennett.

They didn't do much for that lead, 1 line break
1 stroke of luck
1 good kick
1 interceptDarius Boyd could have done better with a couple of those tries but he plays on his heels these days.
Brisbane have been better than that score line. And they're first to score in the second

Brisbane's surge now done. Comfortable win for the Bunnies and they are looking pretty good.
I'm still struggling to understand how people rated this Bronco roster so highly in the preseason.

They thought the forward pack was actually good. Same goes with the Cowboys.

Kodi Nikorima to join the Warriors this season - should be available for next weekend against the Dragons in the "Magic Round" in Brisbane.

it's got young talent, but lacks experience and leadership

Also, Wayne Bennett is such a bitter old flog. He created that dogshit roster at the Broncos, got sacked, but landed on his feet with a fucking good team. Taking any pot shots at Seibold would be rich as fuck.
I just can't understand why Seibold would leave the Bunnies and that roster, to go to Brisbane?

Opposite take: Bennett's style of play means he can work with a lesser roster while Seibold's style means he needs a talented roster to begin with.
Seibold should have stayed at Souths though. No take needed there.

His last game at the club was not so great.
But yes, his low mistake style is greatly helped by guys who can then create points from not much. And to be fair, Reynolds is very much back in form under Bennett. That Souths spine is really fucking good. Throw in an experienced and tough pack, and a super-experienced coach, they should go pretty deep this year.

Nikorima signing confirmed. Figured shown was $1.5M over the next 2.5 years. Will be available next week for the St George game in Brisbane.
As an aside, anyone else going next weekend? I'm planning on going to the Warriors v Dragons, Storm v Eels, Roosters v Raiders, and Bunnies v Cowboys.
-
@mariner4life got a membership this year to yoink tickets to the Wellington game. Hopefully SJ is healthy for that match but who knows. Quite likely he'll tear us a new one if he is playing, such is the luck of the Warriors.
Storm v Eels and Rooster v Raiders would be good games. Fingers crossed for us v the Dragons!
-
Right, are there any other players available at the moment that we can massively overpay? Any players looking to retire at the end of this season that can be persuaded to play another 2 or so seasons at a mediocre level on higher than market value wages?

@raznomore I reckon we drop RTS for Darius Boyd! Sure fire plan lads!
