hasn’t been confirmed by the club and according to Zero Tackle, which is a shaky source at the best of times, it hinges on AOB still being at the club, which at this point is up in the air. a Google search would’ve cleared this up for you.

I like Hughes but I worry about his motor, although Ciraldo tends to use a big forward as a human shield in the first 15 before making way for the smaller forwards when the sting's been taken out of the game. he is 24 and has the physical tools to make good. I'd certainly be having a chat. Liam...

genuinely incredible analysis mate and really breaks it down beautifully. the key is ensuring AD is big enough and ugly enough to make 50 tackles at 95% efficiency in the middle. we get that sorted and he will revolutionise our attack in the way you describe. on Royce, I tend to agree, and for...

think you could run with May or Doueihi at 13 and it would be fine, the issue is we need a pig that can scatter defenders on play one. we don't have that currently. not totally against us finding a 13 but I think we might have a suitable one in-house. prop is the issue.

and prop.

it's a case of too many cooks in the kitchen. one at fullback, one at 6 and leverage the other for a swap. Sami, Fifita and Khan-Pereira are all very good footballers in their own right, even if the last two need a bit of a tune up defensively.

I don't think it's too much of a mess really. they need to make a decision on who their fullback and 5/8 is and move one of Brimson, Campbell and Kini on, and then find a steady hand at 7 that can steer the ship until Zane Harrison is ready. they've got some excellent middle and edge forwards...

you can add Bula, To'a, Koroisau, Samuela and Latu to that list as well.

is it possible the list expands to eight next year and Taateo fills the last spot? there's also a chance that one of or all of Haywood, Godinet and Taupau-Moors aren't on a development deal yet. I think its unlikely but the club never mentioned what contract they were signed to specifically...

beginning to think Liam Henry should be the main target post November 1. coming into his prime years, premiership-winning experience, ready to start and lead a forward pack in the middle, but can also play backrow and lock if need be. we've certainly got the cap and the opportunity for him to...

don’t get me wrong I’m disappointed about Goodfield, I just don’t think it’s a huge loss is all.

we swap players with Penrith all the time, particularly at junior level. we haven’t lost James Lanyon or Yacoub Ali Jida. it’s ok.

you aren't on your own at all. he's one of the best attacking weapons we possess. I'm delighted he's been retained.

I wonder if the club has any desire to develop Andrews as a 1...

Mooney offered $550k by Newcastle. absurd.
