That's a handy pick up, looking like the start of a solid pack.
Hopefully competition for spots brings out a bit more drive next year

Nofo discusses how much the opportunity with Melbourne means to him. Seems like a good fella

I said it when he was first loaned here, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t try to stick around next season.
You would think we would kick the tyres on that idea as well.

Unfortunately, I think he has to go back, otherwise the whole loan thing becomes jeopardised in future.Shuttlesworth99 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:48 am I said it when he was first loaned here, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t try to stick around next season.

That said, if he goes back and they aren't using him and he decides to agitate for a release, that's a different story.

I completely agree with this. It’ll send a message to other clubs not to do it or risk losing stars to more successful clubs. He needs to go back. If he goes back to the Tigers and tears it up then it might even encourage sides to give the loan system a chance in future. If he breaks his contract to stay with Melbourne we’ll never hear the end of it.Lennart Bedrager wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 12:02 pmUnfortunately, I think he has to go back, otherwise the whole loan thing becomes jeopardised in future.Shuttlesworth99 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:48 am I said it when he was first loaned here, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t try to stick around next season.

Are we resigned to the fact that Munster won’t be at the Storm in 2024?
If the reports are true - $1.5 million, we won’t come close to that nor should we. That is an amount that cripples list management.

itl be extremely deflating to see him go (ala Ablett to the Suns), however it would be very exciting to see how the team evolves post-munster. With a young child, I would be blown away if he stayed, the support network for him and his wife would be absolutely vital to them right now.

Agreed - they can’t win much in the next five years paying that much of the salary cap to one playerStorm Spirit wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:13 pmHe’ll have a LOT of $$$$, but he’ll barely play in a win and will be unlikely to ever play a Final in his time there.
Anasta and Bennett making a mockery of the rules around contract negotiations. Not even trying to hide it.Shuttlesworth99 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 11:17 am Are we resigned to the fact that Munster won’t be at the Storm in 2024?

We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
