Honestly, keeping both halves was never realistic if we wanted to move forward. keeping one could have been the best option but wasnt to be. If we signed both for 1-1.2 mil each how could we buy anyone else for the next 3-4 years, what we need to do now is buy 3 to 4 quality forwards to get that manly mongrel back in this side and we wouldnt have been able to do that paying 2.4 mil of our salary to them 2 players. we seen on friday manly got belted by parras forwards and thats all we need, JLJ will do fine, buy an up and coming half or an established one either really, and the rest to some forwards and our rebuild will be 1-2 years max i can guarantee that. By the time stewart lyon and matai retire we will have Tom T, Jake T, clinton gutherson all regular first graders and we will be a force again!
