Fiohiva Faingaa continues to impress in nsw cup for a guy who played for Camden last year wouldn't look out of place with an nrl run later in the year
Javon Andrews is quality
With 2 NRL teams coming in on average across 2x 30 man squads then every club loses 3-4. I mean you look at the Storm lost 4 to Dolphins, now have lost 2 already to Perth and thats with PNG and Perth still with plenty of spots to fill. Its likely some clubs lose 5 or 6 across the top 30s.

I would think Laui leaving would make us more likely to keep the Mays and the Fainus.
With the Mays when they signed with us they were a Roosters bench prop and out of the game and the Fainus were juniors with no nrl experience. All are going to need pay rises going forward to stay so Laui...
Perhaps because the club needs to know how much money they are spending on Laui and Bula first to know how much they can offer the others. If both stay its likely some of the others cant

I like everything Jarome...
Also Javon and Douehi in the halves. Its our strongest position going forward.
Money could be used to retain May's, Fainus, Turuva all of whom will want more $$ going forward especially how we are playing. On field he is replaceable but he has brought such an attitude across the club which we...
The unfortunate thing for hope is he has played 1 nsw cup game and 20 mins off the bench and will now be required to come on and perform at nrl level in Round 9.
Thought he was good in his first game back - defended well, ran hard and if Douehi was capable of passing to a centre he would have scored 1 or 2 tries (Doeuhi does lots of great things but a short pass left to right just isnt one that exists for him).
