    I don't think Penrith are better for having Tyrone May off the bench

    There aren't any gun 2nd rowers. If a prop like AFB comes on the market, you have a crack at him.

    Most clubs only allocate a certain % range of their cap to a position.

    The more accurate terminology may be that they can't afford another starting prop salary because they already have Haas and Lodge on the books. If they're still heavily influenced by Bennett's structuring of a salary cap they're probably 10x over budget on front rowers.

    Haas is also on a really low wage for what he would get elsewhere, get got signed up to a 5 year deal on around 500k. I just looked up and Lodge is signed until 2022, and has 23&24 as options in his favor. The Broncos are fucking morons, I've never seen a club give out more player options, a player option is a fucking lose/lose situation.

    It's going to be interesting who goes where from this Penrith squad. They've timed a few signings pretty well, but I don't love their chances of hanging to to Luai beyond next year.

    I think Luai will stay for under market value as long as the Penrith offer isn't like, half or something. He loves playing with Cleary (has done so since he was a kid), and if he's smart probably realises that he's a much better secondary playmaker than the primary playmaker he'd probably be made to be at a team throwing heaps of money at him. Souths apparently tried to sign him a few times before Maloney left and he stuck around then, so I don't think he's going anywhere.

    Burton will go for sure though. Whare has a year left on his contract but I could see him being released early. Staines will probably bail to play 1 somewhere.

    If this happens he'll cement himself as my favourite player. Him tracking down whoever it was after he scored last night had him high, but if he goes full clubman then I will have found myself my new Mitch Aubusson to loudly love and cherish.

    Can we shift to a half Brisbane half Abstract conversation plox?

    If a team has 8.5 out of ten props and has a free $1M in cap, should they upgrade their props to a10 out of 10 if a marquee prop comes along
    or should they hoard their $1M and wait for a gun half or 2nd rower where perhaps they might upgrade that area from a 6 to an 8.

    Talk money ball theory with me Boobiddy.

    Front-end some deals, take the likely crap season on the chin and don't ruin future seasons with poor squad management.

    Agreed. Brisbane have to start planning for 2022. 2021 is going to be another shit year, at least a bunch of over paid useless cunts finish up next year. They should be able to target multiple big names for 2022.

    I think there's a queen st in nearly every major commonwealth city. Fonua Blake is such a warriors signing, I wouldn't be celebrating it too much.

    Hi lads t

    Thanks for the feedback.
    We have a saying in Aotearoa in that you can say something is "World famous in New Zealand".
    So we have 3-4 streets in NZ that are "World famous in New Zealand".
    1) Queen St is the main centre of business and commerce and shopping in Auckland. It is a very hilly street. When I grew up in Hamilton it was a buzz to go to the big smoke and walk down Queen St.

    2) Karangahape road. This is where the Gay pride festival is held Lukic. It is a very happening st in Auckland with fantastic restaurants. It even has its own web site.

    3) Lambton Quay. Is the centre of shopping in my city: Wellington

    All the rugby world cup parades have been through Queen St and Lambton Quay.

    Word on social media is that we are getting closer...but more discussions are needed. Today will be a crucial day for the Warriors negotiatiors. Manly may ask us for Dollars or a player today as compensation and the discussion must be handled well. Don't fuck this up Cameron George.

    AFB is definitely one of those players you worry in the wrong environment could go backwards very quickly and the Warriors haven't exactly had the best track record with props.

    On his current showings he's a tremendous signing though. Comfortably one of the top 5 props in the game for mine.
