Saints need to sack their retention and recruitment people and some of the 'fans' need to be told to STFU!
Seriously…got Gaz back on a 4 year deal at 28 years of age, but he 'always knew he was going to retire at 30', so they got pwned TWICE - once when he up and left and they lost Josh Morris to Dogs because of it, and when he retired. Then when Cooper, Young, Hornby amongst others should have been tapped on the shoulder…oh no, the club 'faithful' come on out and bleat you can't let go of club legends, only to spend the next 2-3 seasons bleating they've kept the old fellas too long. Seriously!
Plus they lost fire power in Costigan, Scott, Weyman and Smith and didn't replace. Does Saints even have a 'big bopper'? I don't know how much South Coast talent has been lost as well…but I bet there's been a bit.
In desperation, they now sign washed up players like Witt and Marshall…and Farrell, who everyone at Souths knew was an injury crock.
Now I've said this, a team always bounces back with a new coach. So I'm screwed cause Saints will now smash the Bunnies next Monday night after the Sharks tear them a new one tonight.

I think that offer is 700k, way overs! It will be interesting to see what he does.
Apparently the Tigers have given Tedesco a deadline of today and can only offer him 500k but might be able to bump up the offer by backending it, Canberra have offered 2.4 over 3 years.
Ennis also been offered 2 years by Canberra and @Matt26 do you think Mansour will leave or is he just upping his price?

I hope they don't increase the offer to Proctor. Like you said it's way overs already.
The Tigers are now denying that deadline on Tedesco.
Lets just say a lot of talk about Mansour has been about upping his price. I'm sure his manager was the one who put in the papers that he was a chance for origin. He is a good player and can score tries but he cant catch a high ball.
Penrith wont be his highest offer and with so many younger (cheaper) players coming through i think he will be leaving the club.
Cheers
