As a salesman (when I worked), I wouldn't expect his camp to say anything different when looking for a contract.

I'd suggest we stick to our price/value of him, and don't let manager talk sway us.

If he stays, awesome, if he goes, we keep hunting a marquee half, like we should.
going be intresting to see what there buying is like when wayne is gone really dont see woolf forking out marquee money like bennett

Wolff will use the cap like any other team. Might for out huge money for 2-3 players or big money for 5-6 and etc.

WB needed to spend to get players interested. A new top flight team means a player has to take a step into the unknown. The big money was needed to get anyone of note interested. Agreed that from now on the big money will stop. It's not needed, the viability is proven.

I wonder why the DolphIns aren't interested in Fifita. Aitken is getting on, Kafusi will retire soon. The only good young backrower we have is Lemuelu and he is behind Aitken now.

Of course! Forgot all about him. Probably better than Fifita. Not as destructive with the ball but a harder worker.

Backrow Finefeuiaki and Fifita, lock Gilbert👍
Have 10% of the salary cap tied up in two backrowers and a lock with no room for one of our best so far this year, Plath. Not a great idea.

On current form I thought the two first choice backrowers for next year will be Aitken and Finefeuiaki. Kafusi transitioning to a middle forward for his last year which also helps cover our lack of depth in that position.

Do we need to be raiding the Raiders lower grades? Seems they should be trying to raid our lower grades.

I think Canberra isn't among the best as far as junior numbers for NSW teams. I think Penrith are #1, St George #2. Tigers might be third and then maybe Canberra.

Tigers/Balmain youth football is in bad shape.

Enfield Feds. Died, the home of Robbie Farah, and a massive youth club.

It’s a metaphor for the state of Balmain youth system
