Recruitment And Retention Discussion

[Owey]

Yeah it'd be easy work if you were top 30 and on the 6 man bench all the time! Getting paid the same to basically play 30 minutes here and there every few weeks!

Still have to do all the training, to not get to use that on the field would suck @r$e...

I would have preferred to keep Gagai. But it doesn't surprise he's leaving with the younger options. Hopefully one of them has a great pre season and breakthrough next year.

 

[Die Hard]

Winter and Votano seem like good options in a couple of seasons, Hunt seems like the best option for next season. Hunt just needs more games to iron out his flaws and get used to first grade. The more he plays the better he will get.

We'll be ok. The club hierarchy are comfortable with the situation. Have a look JMcKewn's improvement over the last 12 months. With another preseason under their belts they will be fine.

i hope your right mate.

I agree man. I would have liked to keep him. Personally think none of the “younger” options coming through will be ready. Hunt only option

Hope Gags doesn't go to Brisbane. Just be a legend and retire at the end of this season with us pls.

Going to Brisbane is probably a good career choice for him considering the exposure to post retirement roles with the Broncos as well as those with Knights, Souths etc and wherever else he has established relationships

I understand the sentiments but I think that is unfair of us to expect him to retire with us when he is still playing good footy and we won’t offer him a contract.

 

[Joel.M]

Broncos offer for Gagai is 250k, that’s why he hasn’t accepted yet. Apparently he has better offers in the super league

 

[Frank McWilliams]

If Gags leaves then prefer it to be ESL, don’t want him to play against us

 

[Macca89]

He’s done it before. I’m happy he came back. Has been a good servant to the club in both stint's

 

[KPGreatness]

Good luck to him wherever he goes, wish him the best and I can’t wait to see the young crop

 

[frankLauda]

Tooheys news say Bradman close to extending! Now we need to get Jsaf and Dom done this year. And hopefully Frizz. Sharpe next year we are killing it with a top squad.

Sharpe and Brown still have their knees strapped, Best and Ponga I doubt will ever play a complete season so I hope some of these young 'backs' start showing some first grade form. On the bright side nearly all the players Holbrook has brought into first grade have looked reasonably comfortable.
