    See I can say stuff with nothing to back it up too. Doesn't mean I'm right.

    For all you know we did approach him and he said no twice. You. Just. Don't. Know

    Anyway even if Barass comes to us, Jones is I believe 60 years old so I'm sure we can work things out if Lobb is competent in defence.
    That’s ok if your memory isn’t great.

      IDK what you mean I'm just admitting that if he doesn't perform my hypothetical is redundant.

      Gee not to quote myself again but


      I do remember someone very insistent that 550K is far too much to pay for a backup ruck and they conducted themselves a lot like you as I recall but that's, once again, my recollection. Deny it was you if you please, I could be wrong, but I'm not making anything up.

      Edit:


      This is what I was referring to.

      Sorry to everyone for breaking the Narc rule but I feel I was provoked

          Had enough. Line through him from me now. I was in the camp of keep him but in a fair salary.

          I want the compo.

            Nothing. Remove our offer and let him walk.

                  Is this the worst 'big contract year' ever?

                    Lobb & Darcy is a decent ruck duo. I still think we need mature ruck support though.
                    The English experiment is over. He'd be a good second ruck/forward but he's not the main man.

                      Word is Jake Stringer was overheard calling Tim.a "contract year amateur"

                        How bad is Tim’s competitiveness today? Time to withdraw contract?

                            I hope Power has done it already.

                              The writing was on the wall years ago with English. We are trying to cash out when his value is low and his deficiencies now apparent to everyone means I doubt there many suitors.

                                The only hope is that with free agency they offer more cash to avoid a trade of giving anything up. Maybe someone bites if they have a heap of free cap. Hawks or North might like a second tall forward who can theoretically ruck.
