I rarely post sarcastically, so in case anyone didn't spot the sarcasm, I rate Brailey and think he had a great year.
We went from Brailey being mid to him having the worst service and decision making of any 9 in the comp.

Love it
No we didn't. Someone said he's the worst hooker in the league. Proudshark I think. Its' absurd. he's a kid. He'll be a gun in two years and hes noit far off now.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek posting that. I also rate brailey highly. I was just hyperbolising some of the criticism aimed at him lately, as that seems to be what often happens around here.

Brailey is good, has potential to be a top dummy half, but will he get better or become more creative in the next two years having no competion for his position to push him

Cowboys have given HTF permission to talk to other clubs, Dolphins have offered him the starting FB spot.

I'm guessing they need money for Nanai
Him and Robson both off after this season so they'd be after a bit of money.
Nanai is a bit of a funny one as he only signed for one season. Freeing money up for that same season he just signed for probably doesn't impact their situation with him much.
Robson they might look to extend him including a bump up for next season to keep his longer term cap hit down a bit.
Might help them retain McLean too.

Very good point - the other point is these guys shouldn’t have competition to improve which is a bigger issue.

We need killers in the team and in the coaching staff which I feel like we don’t really have or if we do it’s very little especially now that Fifita is gone

Tigers putting together a 1.1 million dollar offer to try sign RTS for next year. Will be a 4 year deal.

Well that's true too, hopefully see a change next season, otherwise have Mcinnis share the dummy role, atleast he goes all out every game, might push Brailey to step up

Yeah their cap has to be a mess. Got Townsend and Holmes for overs for years to come, have Taumalolo on a million. The locals that they had on the cheap Cotter/Nanai/Luki needed big upgrades, already bought Leilua for a lot as well. No idea how they will keep Robson.

Chad's a team player .
I'm sure he'd take a 200K per season cut to try and win a comp.
Might even commit to not to kick down fullbacks throats every game as a clincher
