If people have issues with Croker’s defence, wait till they get a load of this guy

All he’s got his speed. Which in fairness, if you’re going to be a one trick pony, that’s the trick to have. But he sucks
Even then, if you're wanting to go down the speed route. Go all out and throw some $$$ towards Akani Simbine. May as well get the fastest guy out there
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.

Wouldn’t touch him with a 100 foot barge pole as a result. You don’t get a chance to disrespect our club twice.

I wouldn't have anything to do with him either, to me the greatest asset a person has is their good name as a man or woman of their word. Mansour, and Tedesco gave their word over an agreement, with all the facts of
the agreement available to them at the time of their agreement, and then reneged, displaying for all to see that their word was worth nothing.
Their word is still worth nothing, they have a complete lack of integrity. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

To be fair mansour didnt sign with us so i dont have him in the same boat as tedesco. If rapana didnt extend id have been open to signing him, but we cant have both on our books unless mansour comes across v cheap

The answer to replacing Cotric for this football team is not an older, slower, and in every way an outdated model of Cotric

We need to get young and faster. Not older and slower

With that line of thinking I guess we should never have extended Papas contract due to his backflip on Parra???

Or does it only work when their complete lack of integrity disadvantages our club??

We need to make sure that guy has never rejected our advanced before though at any point in his career, because that is massive disrespect and shows bad character - such that we shouldn't touch them with a thousand foot barge pole.

If the best player in the game James Tedesco came back to us right now and said he wanted to play for us I'd tell him to **** off, you ****. We don't want you and your majorly increasing chances of a premiership.

Fox Sports reporting we are making a "late play" for Adam Keighran from the Warriors, but he is more likely to sign with the Roosters.

Although I'm unsurprised by the lack of attention to detail, I can assure you it's not, because if it was going to it would've done so already.

Botpig and I strongly agree on the vast majority of things - talking 90%+ here. Even the kinda **** that seems to be widely unpopular on here.

Yeah but... let's all pretend for a moment that you treat a bloke like Tedesco the same way as a bloke like Mansour.

Apparently we’re talking to Jack Sandford, a NZ rugby junior....

Canberra Raiders eye Kiwi teen star Jack Sandford

Canberra have held talks with one of the finest rugby union talents in New Zealand by the name of Jack Sandford. A student at the famed Christchurch Boys High School, has thrived ar fullback in union. He has also played league for the Aranui Eagles and been involved with Super Rugby’s Crusaders.

When recruiting young kids, it's less about the level of play and more about the physical gifts
You figure out how to coach him up later, if he's got the physical gifts, then get him and see if a lottery ticket caches in

I'm pretty sure Mansour never signed with us, guys. We targeted him and gave a tour. Sent him an offer. It happens all the time.

And, as astutely observed above, it goes both ways. We've benefited from a guy reneging on a contract - and since we're getting all high and mighty here about the principle of it all, tell me, does that mean we should've kicked Josh Papalii to the curb?
