I don't really want johnston on any length of contract tbh. Plenty of other outside back options we can negotiate with now and wont be asking for fullback. Rapana and Fonua would be the main two. If Vals gone we need a real marquee to replace him. Shaun Johnson would be the obvious choice on the market that we can negotiate with. We should be preparing a multi million dollar bid to lure the trbo boys though. Barba back for a year then load up on both of them.

I don't see us having a problem in the halves. Chad, Flanagan and Moylan are adequate. Two Brailey Brothers have the hooking sorted. We will really need a solid fullback. I love Val, but if we lose him I kinda feel like we may as well lose him this year and sign Barba for 2-3 years and at least have a stable spine. If you lose Val and get Barba for a good price, I would then expect us to buy another good outside back.

Well val can suck a dick. Id shove the **** on the wing just to spite him

Don’t know if it’s true but if it is then I’m with you, we have done everything for him.. went out of our way to try and keep him happy ; the least he could’ve done was let us know early on...
also the way he was acting on that QLD show during the year proved he was never here for the love of the club. Always felt like in our bigger games Val can go abit quiet at fullback.

Barba is a better fullback and always has been.. The things he did for our team in 16 were 10/10

should swap him out now that Cowboys paid the transfer fee, also the extra $ saved from Val

In that situation we could move moylan to 1. Just don't want to see us settle for someone mediocre

You blokes are seriously ****ed in the head. You would put Val on the wing because he signed somewhere else?

Do we want to win the comp or not? Grow up.

I’ll go further than that.

I can’t believe the number of people on here that have already decided he’s gone despite there being no concrete evidence. Happy to admit it’s a rumour and certainly belongs in this thread but the amount of over analysing on here is staggering.

He may yet go but I refuse to lose my **** at this stage until I hear an announcement of some sort.

I'm for once NOT taking the pizzz
If Snowman reckons he's as good as gone , without him perhaps being sarcastic .
I tend to believe he IS gone .
Snowy does seem to have leads .
BUT can't cal him a gun just yet .

If you hold on for that long the explosion will probably be bigger.

Not cos he signs somewhere else. If he starts demanding immediate release and ****. Ive said since the day he debuted that he would end up back at the cowboys one day. I will not be at all surprised when its announced. Nor do i hold any resentment towards him for leaving. But he can stay and finish hos contract

Re Sally : Thats why TMM was moved on.

Merrin and Moylan looked pretty chummy post game - semi final.
I may or may not have heard from an extremely solid source Roberts was moved on from Penrith for the same reason, yet different woman.
