[Lord Nev]

So a remote chance that he comes to us. A la not really.

it's definitely a chance - Dees and Saints talking about how much the Saints contribute to his salary before we decide though.

Proper Gander you could make a drinking game out of how many times these blokes say "move the needle"

Goodbye liver!

 

[SugarHealey]

What happened to needing a deal that turned our heads? A quality player in return.

Lamb capitulated. Again.

We've done a lot of good work with bHumphrey... for next year now.

Out of contract 2026... pVoss, and zBailey, bKing, zButters. and all sorts of others.

 

[SugarHealey]

Or just hold Trac to his contract.

There's good reason why no one is busting their hump to trade into the first round this year.

The club needs change to refresh and improve.

Once the Apples already browned, there is no going back.

But does it depend how far it fell from the tree and if you're comparing it with oranges?

 

[MartinPrince]

Cant wait for this sh.t to finish up, I click on the trade radio feed and hear Barrett talking crap and see some lions bloke fixing the Brisbane sign on the front door that fell down.

 

[Elixuh]

Is your wavering support still on the table?

 

[SugarHealey]

Where do you think we finish on the ladder with Trac as opposed to without him next year? I honestly don't think it would make much difference. Then he's another year older and worth even less. Shouldn't we have learnt a lesson from Oliver?

Next year won't matter all that much, in Kings first year...

IMV the most important thing for next year, is to instill a new discipline into the club, off-field... and inside the team lists.

We need to see at least, the new game-style happening... and to finish above say... 10th on the ladder. Any better is a bonus.

Next year we need to hit the draft again... and also pull in some good free-agents. So being higher up the ladder, not so important in 2026.

We need a really big Trade and Draft period in 2026.
...........
2027 is our big season to rise again... and to become a real destination once again.

Reports are that it only hinges on whether Steele wants to come to us.

he would be a good get for a year.

I wanted us to get after the Swans Parker last year... he had a GoodYear... so we had options without Oli.

 

[SugarHealey]

Problem is if it falls hard from the tree.

Like an Apple in old Oli's eye... when its Red, and if it falls hard, it browns off.

 

[Proper Gander]

Right. K.

 

[dazzledavey36]

 

[SugarHealey]

Oli's done and roasted.

What a show that is!

[Bluelegs]

Literally turning Oliver into Steele lol.

 

[SugarHealey]

Another Jack on board.

Whata steal.

 

[schmuttt]

Don't care what anyone says this is stupid.

 

[SugarHealey]

Literally turning Oliver into Steele lol.

I'd like to turn Friita into steel.

But there is 2026 for that to Happen. He's a free agent in 2026.

Along with a halfback interceptor type who cannot defend one on one.

 

[Scythe]

Oliver is done
