Dr. Gonzo

The bad decision was not getting rid of him 2 years ago

Hopefully one day Oliver realises just how much he [censored] up his career at the MFC and contributed to the teams downfall post-2021 flag

Those in charge during that period have a lot to answer for. Completely [censored] us for years. If Langford and Lindsay don't become the next 1-2 "superstar" punch and JVR doesn't lift his game bigtime we are screwed for a long, long time.

We should tell GC no Humphrey, no Trac. Sorry, trades off. That'll teach them. @The Jackson FIX

You haven't factored in having to pay Langford, Lindsay, Turner etc especially if Tassie come knocking with their own war chest that we have to match.

Tracs best years may be behind him. But before his injury his form in 2024 was very very good. 2025 was a write off as he was returning from those injuries and coming from an extremely low fitness base. Even so he still ran 2nd in the B&F. I would be wary about writing him off too soon.

$7m over 5 years will help

I believe they're doing the right thing, sad it is happening and apprehensive about our future 😬

This is a joke, right?

Surely we could bring his salary forward and pay it off over the next year or so? Frontload it, we'll have space once Trac is off the books.

My tips are in the bin this year. Pittsburgh Patriots Panthers

To get him out of the club so King can reset the culture and clear as much of his salary as we can.

There are no guarantees they will be awesome players, in fact the likelihood is at least one of them struggles to become a solid best 22 and the other is nothing more than a role player.

Future 3rd

Sorry Trac, let's revisit in 12 months 😉

Last year's drfat crop is far different to this year's though. Last year any of the top 5/6 could've been taken at 1 in a strong draft, this year Lindsay would probably be top 3-5.

The problem is this draft is meant to be a stinker. If it was 7 & 8 last year you'd take it and run but this year? Consensus seems to be it will be extremely difficult to hit on a winner past pick 2 or 3. On a side note this doesn't fill me with much confidence about White either who isn't projected to go in the top 40-50 or so.

Yeah wtf was that about 😆

7 and 8 last year would've been a good return. 7 and 8 this year doesn't enthuse me at all.

Hoping imbibes a few too many and logs on with some loose lips?

I'm just loving everyone tagging @demonforever who hasn't been on this forum since 2013.

It's unfathomable it's come to this. It's not just on the players either, Goodwin has been sacked but this is a whole club meltdown for allowing it to happen.

But if those picks helped land them Petracca by on-trading them to us then they do want/need them.

I'm one of them and he speaks for me
