Lewis left surprised over Cowboys ‘savage loss’

I think you know the other part, Ezra Mann could end up in the seven two. So I think we’re we’re we’re comfortable there. I mean it was obviously a huge signing for the club to get out on Reynolds. It was sort of the the missing piece. But I think I think Sam’s pretty much, you know, I I feel like he’s going to be a Roosters for pretty much his whole career. Yeah well I I think a lot of people would like to see him coming back to Brisbane. But I agree with you the Roosters are a they’re a professional club and they don’t waste good talent. And certainly if they see him as being the backbone of the side and being the the guy that can be quite creative for for all the stars that they that they have in the back line. Man is one of those to be able to to run onto a beautifully timed pass. The Chooks will be wanting to bank points on that for for a couple of years yet and I guess the announcement during the week, Luke Curie retiring at the end of the season pretty much makes you think it’s a full gone conclusion. They’re not going to let Sam Walker go if they’re losing their other experienced half. Yeah, yeah, I think that’s well said. If there’s talent and players there they wanna keep, they don’t. Yeah, definitely lose them. They they find a way somehow. They’re very. I think it’s the cash register ring. Yeah, it it can they find a way. One player who’s definitely changing clubs is Kili Kefu, Fini Fuyaki from the Cowboys. He’s going to the Dolphins. How big a loss Lockie is that for the Cowboys he’s a good promising player big you know edge back rower and yeah I think it’s a it’s a it’s a coup for for the Dolphins to get him but for for the Cowboys they must have been comfortable that they had him covered or they you know they or they yeah. Or it’s the one that got away Maybe they didn’t have enough cash in the in the salary cap to keep him. I I don’t know but they’d be they’re losing a talent there the Cowboys but it’s you know obviously it’s a for the Dolphins it’s a it’s a real positive Yeah I I must say I was a bit very surprised. I thought they were there just to to let the the other offers come in and then come in with the the one that that would retain his services but that’s not going to be so I think it’s it it is a very difficult one to. I think there’ll be some disappointed players and and fans that’s gonna be a savage loss. It says to me that there there must be some cap pressures you know. Yeah. When you you know when you have to let go of someone of that calibre. So yeah. So anyway I I guess the the Cowboys, you know, hopefully they don’t lose too many more. Yeah because they have resigned Hill and Lukey at the same time. So they’ve got Luke there and Nanae. So they see them as their back rowers going forward and it’s hard to spend a lot of money on on three back rowers can’t spend. You know it pays 3 back rowers, you know good money. It’s just not feasible. Yeah, it’d be used to useful to to have them. I mean you know the three back rowers, they they basically pay a trading places in the interchange moments of a game To have him would be fantastic, but obviously it it’ll all come down to the finances.
