No. Absolutely re-sign as a depth player. There are two more teams coming into the comp in the next two years, which means 60 more NRL player roles. For example we have Will Craig, Saukuru and Ethan Roberts in our NRL squad who have never played an NRL game and probably never will. Every single...
Assume the fullback/Shifschoke meeting was around Papenhuyzen? Based on his comments on his podcast recently, he seems to be leaning more and more towards coming back to League.
Has history with injury but he would suit the style of play Benji has implemented. He would be my preferred option...
Skelton also had a blinder against the Cowboys and is one of the best in the league coming out of his own end.
Skelton is on 275k. If we can extend him for another year on the same amount or very similar, hes definitely worth keeping around. With Luke going, having Skelton, Herbert and Tavana...
This is a very very short sighted view and I don't think you really understand how negotiation, cap and squad management works.
Its important to get the lower end of the roster sorted early. In the case of Tavana, it was a very smart move locking up Tino now. He has only played 2 games and is...
Poor old Isaac is having a really tough time at moment isn’t he. O’Brien recently sacked, Seibold sacked and Flanno on the verge on being sacked.
Running out of suitors and leverage for Bula now that Tracey has re-signed and Drinkwater is Dragons bound. Looks like a number of clubs are getting...
Flanno is full of it. Last week he gave some excuse for his team selections by saying that he hasn’t got anyone else underneath to play.
While he keeps selecting the same players that are 0-6 for the season, their reserve grade side is currently equal first and have a record of 4-1.
The young...
I don’t think it’s about who’s better, more about the combination of Terrell with Pole and Sione with Royce.
Terrell and Pole usually play the first 25mins then are both a switched for Royce and Sione. Royce and Pole are too similar to be on at the same time and also the least reliable middle...
Don't know what thread to post this in, and this isn't a knock on Alex but bringing KPP into that right back rower spot might be one of the most underrated singular upgrades this club has ever seen. Turned that game and our right edge around.
Kudos to KPP. Won't get the wraps that Jock will...
Its ironic isn't it, Moses advised Galvin to leave for his 'development' but will also advise Bula to go to the Dragons.
No idea how any player can think that guy has their best interest at heart.
Rugby League Guru is literally the last person i would listen to when it comes to young guns. The guy thought Tallyn Da Silva was a fullback when he debuted, never heard of Tavana until this pre season and thinks Makasini played all his junior football on the wing.
Credit to the bloke, hes...
Im all for Seyfarth dropping out of the 17, but i think Roberts based on his form last year is overrated on the forum.
Watched him a few times over the last two years and he regressed unfortunately (at the Roosters). Early rounds last year he was 18th man from the Roosters NRL team and was...
Don’t think he will go to the Dragons. A much more likely scenario would be him triggering the last year of his contract here in 2027 and going to PNG as a multi million dollar marquee in 2028 with Ayoub.
It wouldn’t be the worst outcome for us, gives the club 18 months to get a closer look at...
