Its the Yeamo story!

Well deserved as well imo...clearly he has worked very hard to regain his form.
I also would have prefared the Moa signing news!

So would I but well done to yeamo , got a feeling could be a bit of stalemate in the moa deal .

If we can get a better prop for the money moa is after then we have to let him go, however if we don't have enough in the pot for another good quality prop to play alongside ogre then it's poor cap management IMO. We can't go into next season with o'meley and 3 average props or we'll get nowhere. We struggle now when o'meley isn't on the pitch

hows that gunna delight the fans?

From what i hear, Moa is being a really greedy b*gger with regards his contract. However, he now knows the club wont budge, expect some news either way in the next 10 days i think

Off Smailesy twitter

No news as yet on Moa, Lauaki to Wigan would surprise me, but I think we'll get another player retention story soon, maybe end of week

I expect Washy, Dowes, Lauaki and Moa all to stay to be honest. Dowes and Washy will be on very low wages, hopefully the reduced wage Horne is on now has cleared some room on the cap for Moa's improved contract

If Gleeson is no longer unable to play,then a new centre could be a priority.

so does that mean he is ready to play again

You mean you dont know.

Is that possible? didnt think we had the spots for them both to stay. My advance apologies if i open the Quota can of worms again.

My advance apologies too for indulging my strange passion for the minutiae of the rules.

Assuming O'Meley stays, you could keep at most one of Moa and Lauaki.

I think Moa will stay in a timely boost stylee, so your 5 non-fed would be.

O'Meley, Seymour, McKinnon, Heremaia and Moa.

No room for Phelps and Lauaki.

For the quota list swap Obst for Moa. Until or unless Obst gets an EU passport.

We either pay market value or get someone else. If we can't afford him then maybe we shouldn't have so many halfbacks on 1st team salaries

Very true. The hooker from the Warriors will be a good signing. Obst for two years looks very baffling now though.

If we can't afford Moa then the Club and Caoch have made a right mess with player recruitment, retention and pay structure being lopsided, unless Moa is asking a ridiculous amount.

If he's asking a ridiculous amount then we will be able to bring in better for less. if he's just asking market value then we need to pay it or be weaker as a result

We don't know what any of the HB's are on,other than a rumoured vastly reduced contract for Horne.Ellis won't be on a big salary,and Long may be gone anyway.Seymour will be,i guess,the main earner in the 6/7 positions.

Indeed, but we have 5 hookers/halfbacks on 1st team salaries plus ellis.

I doubt horne is on the pittance some believe

It did from the off IMO. Desperation.

No..... But he should be!!
