Recruitment And Retention Discussion

[The Gidley flick]

I was expecting this because after the game on Saturday ponga mentioned that Greg got up and spoke to the group the night before they played so I assumed then he committed to the knights

So the Marz to the Bears story was off the mark.

Didn’t even hear this one lol. Do legit think Ponga signing and not even waiting until Nov will trigger this snowball effect. Makes me think Jacob definitely gets done and to some extent Best.
Have a good season and it makes it an easier sell for guys to stay.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the deal was already verbally agreed to before the dragons game and Marzhew was in a good mood and played like he just agreed to a new deal

Being reported he stayed for less, 400k mark being thrown around.

Great cap management if true.
Even better if he can play consistently like he has recently.

Hopefully Lucas, Best, Saf and Dom follow.

McEwen smart enough to see his value here will only increase. And we are close to a sustained premiership window. Depends on our left edge staying together.

Toby Winter's profile has been added to the firstgrade squad.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

I don’t see the concern. We signed him as depth. Is it hard to imagine the Wahs want to give their younger players more of a run than blokes leaving at the end of the year?

Nah they aren’t building for next year they can win it this year, be honest I’ve thought he was a crap signing.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Decent money for a reserve grader is the concern. We had a few of those last year, Elliott/Hetheringron, not pulling their weight, hope Niukore is not on the same decline.

AK47 lol.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

He wont be a reserve grader. He'll be bench or starter, same mould as Frizz but also a wonderful leader for our junior forwards. No one knows how much was paid for him.

I am curious @Watcher everyone here sees him as a leader I’ve never paid much attention to him but is he seen this way?

Just because your getting on in years doesn’t mean your a leader.
