I would deadset give Luke four years. I think he's that good.

Canberra's pack isn't that big either. Pattie, Sasagi, Smithies, Mariota. wouldn't be too worried about the impact from either bench, it's just weathering the storm of their starters.

I like where you're coming from but I probably wouldn't worry too much now about outside backs given Makasini and May will come into the 30 next year, pending the latter's behaviour. you'd think Tuitupou and Mapapalangi may well be given full time contracts as well and I'm hopeful Stainesy...

he said it midway thru last year in one of his CEO updates. might’ve been the first time he used the term “crocodile roll” in public. but it’s certainly what I like about Richo. he’s a competitor and he recruits people much like himself.

not only that, he's incredibly close to Shane Richardson.

I think it's to build out the depth chart and give us options. Latu has his injury troubles, of that there's no doubt. I think you have to recruit with that in mind and give yourself as many options as possible.

admittedly Brent Read also said it earlier in the week when Reynolds was still a chance. I wouldn't be moving Latu to 13 for Glover though.

thanks for posting mate. the Glover rumours are super interesting. I think he's excellent with ball in hand but admittedly it's in NSW Cup and I haven't really seen his defensive abilities or his kicking game enough to make a comment. to me, it sounds as if the club is trying to give itself a...

I believe that you are able to claim players that were formerly in the 30 (Olam, Klemmer, Galvin) as being part of the 30 and therefore there isn't a pressing need to upgrade before June 30 to satisfy NRL regulations. that said, I would anticipate that Heath Mason and Taylan May (pending his...

ball's in his court to make good on his chance. I sincerely hope for everyone around him that he has truly changed and will continue to change like we continue to hear.

I like that approach as much as the next bloke, but let's be realistic. Taylan May, right now, is the antithesis of a good person, and we signed him last week.

Richardson says that the club has 'plenty of spots' in the Top 30 and on the Development List for next year, but says they're going to be very cautious and patient with who they bring in, because they want to build an elite roster. I can see them sitting on their hands on a lot of spots until...

don't worry, I'd have Latu above an O'Sullivan or Te Maire Martin on the depth chart, just thinking we need to build it out a little bit. Doueihi ain't it.

pending what happens with Reynolds (still unsure whether our interest is truly legitimate), there's some excellent halves on the market that we should be looking at to come in and be a backup half. Sean O'Sullivan should be top of that list.

he has the ballplaying skill, but does he possess the physicality required to defend in the middle for long periods? I worry that if Campbell Graham was able to manhandle him, what could a Spencer Leniu do...

sorry mate should've been clearer. that's Sione Fainu in the 15. currently I'd have Latu at 6. agree on Twal in the prop rotation. I'm 50/50 on Hetherington but Richardson loves him and Brisbane's cap situation is terrible. I think he's short odds.

Royce would be the one to drop out I'd say. I'm not saying I necessarily want Hetherington, but I do think the writing might be on the wall. wouldn't mind someone to fill out jersey 17 that can play across the pack as well, but hypothetically... 8. May 9. Koroisau 10. Pole 11. Sa. Fainu 12...

indeed it is.

couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it honestly. Rodwell, Harrison and Woods are all genuine halfbacks. Talataina is the best 5/8 of this NSW class. I wonder if the great Archie Duncombe featured in any selection conversations. I think he's a phenomenal talent.
