25 games in two seasons just isnt enough from mamo.

when he was fit at the back end of last season he couldnt get back in the team at times too. we have other options now

ikahihifo prob staying now leeds have signed merrin..

alot is going to rely on this new aussie frawley!

Wouldn’t be too sure about that, we still have an overseas quota spot and Furner did state he wanted at least two more top class players

I think that Ikahihfo will be at the Rhinos for 2019,we just need to get rid of some squad fillers first
IMO Ikahihfo was always intended to be Garbutt's replacement option

Well Seb says he’s staying. Getting stuck
Into pre season training. So looks like he’s a giant for 2019.

yeh looking that way

but how de motivating for him knowing your own coach doesnt really want you???? not great for morale is it.

staying because other clubs cant afford his wages... yes they are high but dream team prop and was best in the comp when he signed new deal with his best years to come, injury hit last year lets hope he can get back to 2017 standards

Very poor PR surely this could be handled better for a very good popular player.

Re: mamo , ikahihifo , rankin : Mon Nov 19, 2018 5:55 pm  

cant see rankin going anywhere, least its another option and competition for full back

hes on too much of a high wage

we are already paying towards broughs wage at wakefield i believe

It's hard to believe he doesn't want Ikahihifo - I don't know what wage he's on but I also don't know where he's going to find a Prop of at least the same quality at this stage. He's 27, in his prime and already at your club. From the outside looking in it's a strange one for me.

Probably due to rule changes looking for props who can do bigger minutes with the new rule changes coming in.

Looks like Woolford wants new blood but is hamstrung with players on high salaries that others are not prepared to pay as has been pointed out on this thread discussing in the media (Not your club) that a player cannot be signed as his pay cannot be met but (your club) offering him for a move is not as pointed out good for morale.

Doesn't do the coach or the players any favours.

Equally Woolford is making it be known he’s not happy with expensive mediocrity. Good on him.
Seb was brilliant in 2017, dream team yadda yadda ....then he signed a long term deal and suddenly in 2018 his form dipped
Perhaps it will inspire them to improve next year and play their best to prove a point!
