The top 30 for all clubs aren't all current NRL players...what's your point?

Ok no worries, but those players are in the player pool - they are not from the mountains of PNG - you are conflating their nationality with available players in the market.

Would you like a bet that at least 30 players will go?

Depth is meant to get a start at some point for some games - they need to be up to it as well. Our issue is too much depth on the field at the one time due to a horrific and lengthy injury toll.

Didn't we literally just extend both May boys, Turuva, Bula and Makasini? Or unless the players are new, the club isn't recruiting?

Damien Cook signed with Castleford for next year.

Bula, Api and Twal back in would give us a reasonable chance. Ethan Roberts is a god send with so many players out. Gives us some unexpected strike power. A lot of work needs to be done on our edge defence though.

Koloamatangi will be there also. They won't be that bad next year.

Just thinking though he isn't playing great. Wondering if dogs chip in or if he takes a pay cut...probably will cash in with PNG

I don't know, but Taylan has played both sides reasonable well.

Talk of Metcalfe to Bulldogs and Burton will be axed to free up space. Burton at centre would be a good pickup for us.

What irks me is that you lose plenty of them to clubs that promise first grade opportunity, but they've just been lied to and they end up playing reserves for the new club anyway.

Without a decent backup hooker for Api, we have dropped our line speed and weakened the middle. We also lose a lot with Samuela out and Terrell was missing also. 3 pretty big outs from your pack all at once. Samuela, Api, Douiehi and Bula is where our attack comes from...all out. Makes it hard.

This should be play on but we need to find a penalty of course

He shouldn't even be on the field
