If Godinet is a good prospect why is he on T&T and not development.

T&T now, development 2027.

Only 17, not old enough to be given a development contract. But needs to be given the train and trial contract to pay him for his time at training and give him his work cover rights.

What grade you reckon he'll play in 26?

Sky is the limit for Godinet even in ‘26. It will likely depend on injuries, the team’s form & his own form, but could rocket to a bench spot later in the season - good cover for both backrow & centre.

Without getting carried away slowly with time could he be our answer to Dylan Lucas.

Honestly don't recall ever watching him play so wouldn't pay any attention to my opinion on the matter. But I'd assume he plays SG Ball this year and maybe some ressies later in the year.

He has said publicly that he plans on making his first grade debut in 26 and has spoken to Benji about it


Between him and Moors if they play 8 games in the NRL between them it would be great

I think Alex is in a bit of trouble keeping a spot in the 17 in the back half of the year

godinet posted on his story off to “rookie camp” with Javon. wonder what that is

NRL rookie camp. where they learn that posting intimate tapes and lines of Colombian Bam Bam to their Instagram stories is a bad idea.

Glad to see the club isn't publicising the players who have turned up to pre-season underdone this year. That turned into an unnecessary circus last year

I believe it was done for a reason, to show the club is setting much higher standards now. It seemed to have the desired effect on most of them.

I like the new gear, except for the blue Zurich patch and the fact that there is no Magpie on it.

There’s 3 bloody kiwis on each shoulder, we could piss that shite off and get a couple of magpies on there.
