If we could convince South’s to pay Bud 350, and we pay Jock 350, we are effectively “even” on the Jock salary. Would mean we’re paying 550 all up for that back up half. Probably would rather Jock in that scenario to Bud purely as he will have signed here knowing the scenario/would be more committed etc.
i’m pretty sure they just released it
When we talk about X Factor, Herbie is #1 for me in the game this season. There can be almost nothing on and he can just run straight through the defensive line and score. It's not even his opposite centre he's beating either. He can run straight through edge forwards which is crazy impressive.
best centre in the game IMO
No Ladies ones?
The men's jersey is already sold out except in size S and Lowe's XL. Bugger, hope they make more.
Benji might see them as a bigger liability than playing an injured Starford To'a, who knows how and why Benji makes some of the selection decisions that he makes.
the fit is different, women’s jerseys are more tailored
He's hard to put down..literally takes 3 players to get him on the ground.
Love Bula but we are 2 and 1 with Turuva so not sure we are tbh
Only makes sense if we can move on Sullivan without taking too much of a hit to the capI actually said we should make a play for Jock Madden as backup half a few weeks ago, experience, game management & goal kicking.

JOCK’S EYE OF THE TIGER
Jock Madden is on the verge of quitting the Broncos with three clubs, including Wests Tigers, eyeing off the Brisbane playmaker.
Sport Confidential can reveal Madden is considering a return to the Tigers club with whom he made his NRL debut in 2021 before his move to the Broncos two years ago.
Madden is contracted to the Broncos until the end of 2026 but is resigned to leaving Brisbane after the club recently extended skipper Adam Reynolds for a further 12 months.

The 25-year-old was being groomed to succeed Reynolds and had played 15 games for the club over the past two years when the Broncos skipper was unavailable through injury.
But under new coach Michael Maguire, Madden has yet to play NRL this season and appears to have fallen well down the pecking order behind Reynolds, Ezra Mam, Ben Hunt, Billy Walters and teenager Coby Black.
Hull FC coach John Cartwright is keen on Madden given his ties to the playmaker as a former assistant coach at the Broncos to Kevin Walters.
But Hull FC face competition from Australia with the Tigers and a second NRL club having contacted his management to inquire about the possibility of Madden leaving the Broncos at season’s end.
The Broncos are battling a salary-cap crunch and would save around $350,000 by releasing Madden, who played 17 games for the Tigers, from the final season of his deal.
Jock would be good as a backup, but no good as our regular starting 7.
Yeah no doubt. The numbers I listed I guess is what I thought would make Jock worth it per se. If we can’t get South’s to pay 350, Bud seems a better option than Jock.
Not Madden are you serious. Agree why we looking at Madden then paying most of the freight for Bud
It’s hard to work out why Jock would consider returning to Wests Tigers as our depth halve, rather than take up an offer as a regular starting halve in the UK Super League ?
