If the rumours about us chasing Frizzell are accurate I would not be upset. Thought he was NSW best forward last night

But do we need another aging back rower?
If we are playing the long game he’s not necessary imo.
What is necessary, imo, are a creative lock, strong centre and to sort out our 6/7.

As we've witnessed with Brandon Smith, changing clubs for more cash does not always work out for the player or new club. I think Martin is a loyal type who probably knows he plays his best footy in the Panthers' system under Cleary. Good on him for sticking solid with the Panthers.

But we have to be careful .. why would a club let go of current SOO player .. ?? Newcastle are prepared to let Frizell go why .. they are trying to rebuild by getting younger players they can develop into long term players at the club. As good as Frizell is .. how many season does he have let in him at this level .. I'd say 1 or 2 seasons .. ?? Then after that we will be looking at moving him on .. and by then not many clubs would take him.

Frizell currently 31
Koroisau currently 30
Bateman currently 29
Klemmer currently 29
Nofaluma currently 29
Brooks currently 28

That would be a lot cattle coming to there use by dates .. quickly

I liked what I read about Morgan Smithies - second row or lock. At 6ft1 and 106 kgs is a good size and being from Yorkshire like Bateman will be tough.

Liam Martin is an absolute weapon. Go back and watch his efforts. Frizell played well also.

Yet many have been criticising him for a long time, that he only gets picked for origin because he plays for the panthers and success is due to their system. Now everyone loves him...

Most players, particularly these days, and barring chronic injuries, can play until they're 33/34 if their form warrants it. None in that list fall into the chronic injury category, giving all of those players somewhere between 3-5 years left.

(According to my completely made up and arbitrary average end date for modern players)

Newcastle are paying Ponga $1.5 million, the Saifitis are on big coin long term and their cap is a shambles. That's why, Best is a weapon and only young but they're willing to let him go too because of their cap problems
