Why? He's cooked. Anyone with eyes could see he was not the player he was when he left for Union. With fast-twitch athletes such as RTS who play right on the edge of physical ability any injuries begin to chip away at performance. Like all good players he managed to offset the decline in his...

I think Young has got a lot more than promise. I certainly don't think there are ten better wingers than him. And if he's making huge yardage and scoring long-distance tries for fun at the Knights he'll run riot once he's integrated into the Roosters' system. A lot of people don't realise just...

I know players in the SL who haven't had this many highlights in an entire career.

I guess it's up to the people running the club. Like I said - how much do you want to win? I seriously doubt anyone will care if he makes the odd mistake (largely out of inexperience - he's still a kid, remember) if he turns you into a contender. He's a born winner. The type of person who would...

On the subject of Siro - the story is he had a "Come to Jesus" moment halfway through the season after an inebriated night on the town. Woolf was ... displeased ... as Kristian Woolf can only be. Challenged him to stop wasting his god-given talent and commit 100%. Since then he's been superb...

I think it's safe to assume there will be plenty of agents hitting the phones. I suspect the favourites will be the Dolphins. He already has a relationship with his former coach, Kristian Woolf. And they have a ton of money. Holbrook at the Titans knows him well, too. Personally, I'd rather not...

Kid was the best player on the pitch. By a mile. Scored one. Set the other up. Three game winning last ditch tackles (the one on Cleary was unbelievable). Should have had another assist when he put Hopoate through for a pass which looked fine to me. As for dropping that Cleary bomb. It was I...

Saints will release him if he wants to go and the price is right. Their junior development system is awash with talent and they have two of the best kids in the comp (Moss & Robertson) waiting in the wings. I mean, what's a top-class, game-winning playmaker worth age 21? How much do you want to win?

Told you guys - Welsby = Killer.

I witnessed Sheens first hand at Hull Kingston Rovers. Lurched from one crisis to the next. Some of it wasn't his doing. But some of it certainly was.

To be fair - we never produced Lachlan Lewis.

He's got immense talent. No question. But for me either he or his agent are just a bit too interested in the business side of things. Got to remember what got you to the position you are at. Because the moment you allow off-the-field matters to encroach on your game - you're done.

That moment when he broke through three English tacklers and then dropped the ball with no one near him was embarrassing. Spent much of the game sauntering round like he owned the place.

If there's one thing I've learned about money it is that more of it doesn't necessarily mean a better competition. I saw what happened in the SL over here when millions were injected into the game by Murdoch and it all went into the back pockets of some very ordinary players. To use the words of...

Someone needs to tell him you only get the $10m ARU bag after you perform - not before.

Waiting twelve months would be the smart option, IMO. Let him finish maturing physically before moving to the NRL. The Knights recently acquired the services of young Will Pryce from Huddersfield (son of Leon Pryce who was a GB player) and Kai Pearce Paul from Wigan. Pryce is absolutely electric...

He's contracted at Saints for another couple of years. But contracts mean nothing these days. Especially when the NRL has so much money swilling around. Thing is, Saints are extraordinarily well off in terms of halfbacks. The scrum half, Lewis Dodd, is the most talented number seven I've seen...

I imagine he will be very cheap. A great short-term option while you are looking for longer-term replacements. I mean, even as a squad player he's good value at the price he'll likely demand.

The abuse Williams took from Ricky's media puppets was terrible. The kid had done it tough living thousands of miles away from home with a young kid on the way. Loved the fact that some of his teammates came out in the media and stood up for him because I've never heard a single complaint about...

The Knights are arguably the most dysfunctional team in the NRL. Pointless changing the coach because the players run that club. Nathan Brown nailed what was going on up there. Albert Kelly is a very good player. The only reason he's not better regarded is because he let himself down earlier in...
