What position would he play for us ?

I'd have him at fullback based on Laurie's form

GREAT SCOTT AS DOLPHINS AND BRONCOS SQUARE OFF

THE Dolphins and Broncos could find themselves locked in a derby battle for the signature of Cowboys playmaker Scott Drinkwater.

Sport Confidential understands three NRL clubs, the Dolphins, Broncos and Wests Tigers, are keeping a close eye on Drinkwater as he faces a fight for regular NRL action in North Queensland.

Drinkwater started the season in Queensland’s Hostplus Cup, with Cowboys coach Todd Payten opting for a halves pairing of Tom Dearden and Chad Townsend. Drinkwater returned to the top grade last week after an injury to Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, scoring a try in the Cowboys’ narrow loss to the Warriors.

But when ‘The Hammer’ returns, Drinkwater faces relegation to reserve grade. The Broncos, Dolphins and Tigers rate Drinkwater’s playmaking ability and have indicated preliminary interest to his management.

The Cowboys have told Drinkwater’s management they have no interest in releasing the 24-year-old, who is contracted until the end of 2023. But Drinkwater naturally has no interest in languishing in the Hostplus Cup for an extended period.

Lucy for Drinky ?

Probably out best player this year for a guy who can’t crack regular 1’s. Sounds like something Pascoe would sign off on.

Success doesn't equal good guy. He's a plughole.

Ouch!

Absolutely. Drinks’ not what we need.

 

[Bones]

Absolutely. Drinks’ not what we need.

The thing about Drinkwater is he is always busting his arse, sometimes he’s playing like a busted arse, but that’s more than we can say about our current fullback so far this year.

 

[tigerap]

So didn't ask for a release twice in the off season as reported , or changed h

NanaI and Luki having blinders….

Looks like the Knights are finally going to get Milford as they formally put forward a proposal to the NRL.
NRL still want to check the security footage of his latest indiscretion.
I had a sneaky suspicion that a desperate Madge might have looked into it [ or Sheens]
I personally would have reservations about this hot and cold player.

Hopefully they still want Brooks but that’s doubtful if they have Milf, Brooks wants to be a one club man now apparently.

 

[Merlot]

fk hell Brooks has some resolve

What's the go with Trindall at the Sharks? He's too good for Cup. Someone will pick him up.

Dolphins the likely new home.

There are no 'available' Cowboys backrowers of note who would bring the same impact that Leilua has.

One player at the Cowboys who has been stuffed around a bit with potential to be anything is Daejarn Asi. If the club could arrange a player swap deal and get Benji to mentor him it could work out well.

No way on earth can we swap our best player this year for a cowboys reject. We need one of their top 17. We need quality and have heaps of room

But it doesn't make any sense, where would they play Lucy, Nanai, Luki and Taumololo? There's just not room for them all too be out there as much as they all want to be and a lot of money there too

So Luki will be happy playing 10 mins off the bench? Great career move, especially for a kid who's signed a lucrative long term deal.

All 4 want to play close to 80 mins every week

60 impact minutes out of all of them

Amazing (young) backrow but their spine is still shaky and going to struggle in big games.

Luch loves the fact Madge made him an 80 minute player…. that is how he sees himself. He won’t be happy with less.

Until he sees that he’s a better player when he has a spell and his team is winning.

I agree … I wouldn’t play him for 80.
That’s what he wants and loves.
Personally happy if Madge gave him a 20 minute rest mid game.
