The pathways to first grade down there are clearly working much better than here - there's so many young kids coming through who come straight in and not only look the part, but are actually game breakers. The Trbojevic brothers (particularly Tom), Latrell Mitchell, Corey Oates, Jack Bird, Valentine Holmes, Milford, Ash Taylor, Lolohea... If I could be bothered, I could go on and on, there's literally dozens of potential superstars in the makings - we're miles away from producing any talent at that calibre.

It's worrying when you think back to the start of the year and Nikorima and Hastings ripped Saints apart and everyone was waxing lyrical about how good those two looked - and neither can get a game for the Roosters now!

Replaced by Watson and Matterson who have been great.

Cleary at the Panthers is the best young half I've seen in a while.

Pity we can`t get one of them over here.
Looking pretty bleak at the moment if we want to move up that SL table next year.

Indeed - Watson looks a cracking player, very much reminds me of Craig Wing.

So, it appears from reports in Australia that Chicko has 2 weeks left to decide if he stays at Leeds next year - so there is a deadline on his clause to get out of next year for an NRL return.

It would be nice to see a response from those who've been berating GH for allowing an NRL clause that could leave us with no options if Chicko decides to walk 2 weeks before the season starts or at the last minute.... Clearly, GH ain't as stupid as some would like to make out!.

Where did you see these reports mate?

Re: Segayaro : Tue Aug 23, 2016 8:37 am  

There's one of Fox currently talking about the hookers currently on the market, stating Chicko has 2 weeks to decide.

Re: Segayaro : Tue Aug 23, 2016 9:08 am  

perhaps ifGHhad said he had to make a decision by a certain date instead of just saying he could go if he had an offer people might not think he was being stupid?

Link?

can't find anything myself online, and people are just going off what was suggested as TBH it has all been kept pretty quiet so going off that people are right to question what is happening. If what you say is true then hopefully he will stay with us. If not, then hopefully GH does have someone else lined up because it is still getting late in the day regards finding someone of sufficient quality. We will soon see.

And if he did that, no doubt the same folk would complain and say 'why tell everyone when the deadline is, that's allowing rival clubs to know when they need to have their best offers in to Chicko by' He can't win - people will moan regardless.
