There are issues around player fallouts at two NRL clubs as pressure builds over poor form in recent times. Players live in each other’s pockets for 10 months of the year and this is not uncommon. However, a five-eighth and a hooker at one club are barely on speaking terms. At another club, a halfback and a winger don’t get on – and it’s the talk of the team. We will keep you posted.

Hastings and Nofo
The 6 at our club will be whoever Hastings wants it to be. Personally don't think Douhie has the personality Hastings can handle they are too alike. All guesswork though

So this year is clearly gone. Shame.
Papili'i massive for us next year but really need another prop to replace (and better) Tamou who has been one of our best so far. Thompson or Lodge only two really (and Thompson has been quite hit and miss).....
Not sure Crichton is right for us purely due to salary cap as I think we need a top line prop more than a second top line 2nd rower... (tricky not knowing exactly where we're at with salarcy cap - obvs both would be good but just assuming there's only room for one more 600k+ forward).

they seem to have similar personalities and difficult individuals time will tell
Hastings and Nofo. Thought it was common knowledge..
From slothys writeup.
There is probably only one NRL club that can afford front-rower Payne Haas if he leaves the Brisbane Broncos this year — the Wests Tigers. They have the space in the salary cap but don’t think he’s worth anything more than what the Broncos are paying him - $750,000 this year and $800,000 in 2023. Haas would actually lose out on the deal because of cost of living and house prices in Sydney are far greater than in Brisbane.

Yeah, I was saying that. And you're not alone, but I wasn't going to reply to everyone's message about it. I was just being a grump. You appreciate him and that's all that matters.

The signs were there against the Roosters and Panthers that they had turned a corner.

Who says he has to buy?
Well he wants to play finals apparently according to SMH. That leaves us out

Maybe a fully serviced Meriton apartment and an all expenses paid Toll Tag does the trick.
Maybe not, the guy is nothing but trouble.

Last night Angus charged at the line, spun, and offloaded beautifully one handed for a try assist...absolute class. Completely outplayed Nikkora...
Yet we don't want to "pay overs".
You need to pay more to attract the top class players....
I really don't get it.
People will all be on this forum complaining next year, yet again, when our backrow depth is exposed again...and our front row stocks are shown to be short.
And wonder why we miss the finals.
Add Angus and Lodge and our 23 pack changes completely.
Add a "depth" back rower and prop from other teams state cup sides who are "value" and we will be right where we are again.
