This is all hyperthetical but if reports are true that we have offered Bird approx 800k & Chad to sign on for..... Let's say 600k, that's a total of 1.4 mill. (Option A)

Would you prefer or think we could get Foran for 900k & someone like Whare for 500k the total for these two also would be 1.4 mill. (Option B)

Would you prefer option A or B?
B but Foran will cost more than 900.

Bird isn't even close to being our best player & he shouldn't be paid like he is. If he wants big money he can walk.

There is definitely NRL interference / bias though - Nobody has ever explained how an over the cap drag queens were allowed to sign Benchy for example...


And they are stiil very deeply badly in debt the owe money all over town and spending up very big?

I think this forum is broadly being short sighted regarding Chad. The age he is now is still short of the age Thurston was when he hit his peak. For a halfback, Chad has a long way to go before he is expected to be the full package, and as he is now he is very good on a good day. Consistency and maturity will come.

I have believed for some time that the future halves pairing for the Sharks is Chad/Holmes. 2019. Holmes is a better halves prospect than Bird IMO.

I agree to a point, i guess every fan wants their 7 to be a gun or the gun

Kyle Flanagan will be int he halves by then

club rates him do they? can't say I've seen much of him outside of last week's game, good goal kicker, decent size for a half too. Good general kicking game though Williams I think did a bit more kicking.

How do people rate our youth backrowers in Jayden Walker, Jack Williams and Billy Magoulias?
Can any step up in the next year?
