I’m not convinced Pole is a starting prop. We have a lot of money tied up in Klemmer which could easily be buy into another quality prop.
although I think lodge is a deadset peanut, if we could have moved on klemmer and brought in lodge that would work
Sullivan deal looks to me like a “let’s agree to 25 and we’ll work the rest out later due to Christmas/New Year.”
I’d be surprised to see Bud come back ever.

100%, he won’t be back here.

Bud is a good person and a very talented player, and we all hope this move works out for him.

doesn’t look like he will be back
Sullivan is now only a one year deal with souths and back to Tigers in 2026
damn
Well yes, but he is now in the shop window and it opens up the opportunity for him to find a better deal for those seasons and beyond.
Or come back to us a better player after being coached by Wayne and being in the Souths system. Bit of contingency for if Galvin or even Luai leave in a couple of years. Maybe the Wayne / Benji relationship got this loan deal done.
That is pretty good deal if you ask me. He’ll learn a lot under Bennett and come back a much better player.Sullivan is now only a one year deal with souths and back to Tigers in 2026

Exactly... worst case scenario Bud comes back in '26... but he should come back a better player.
But I highly doubt he'll be back at all.
It’s not a bad hedge for a scenario where Galvin leaves in 27 and Latu does let make it.
It could be good or bad. If Galvin leaves and Latu doesn't make it then great. But if Bud stinks it up so no one wants him then he can force his way back to us (I guess that is kinda where were until this)
He is also probably not the 1st choice at Souths. He has gone from 4th to 3rd.

if he stinks it up then I guess we have had someone else pay at least 1 year of a terrible contract so it’s a win.
