That could be a spicy combo! Would be keen on that too

Back on the Twal debate a few pages earlier, I fully agree that he is not a lock. I would like to see Peachey at 13 and Seyfarth as the bench lock that can shift to prop when required. I think both have better ball playing than Twal and would make for a better all round rotation in my opinion...

Going back to the Pom’s update a few days back. Farnworth would be great, a future top level centre I reckon. Kicks goals, is elusive and good for a tackle bust or two. Good X factor and strike out wide. With a juicy offer we could maybe pull him away from Broncos where he is competing with...

I remember the Hertz Car Talk episode with Joffa and JTJ which the former admitted that players warned him of Maguires intense coaching before he arrived. Though, the question they had to answer on that specific episode was “who was the coaches favourite?” and they quickly agreed AD. Doesn’t...

Tyrone May is one of the least threatening players I have ever seen. All he does is turn people on the inside for an a-ball. Extremely one dimensional. All the local panthers supporters I know couldn’t wait to see the back of him. Also he is extremely slow. Wouldn’t improve our squad in any...

In my opinion, Lucy is pretty similar to Kikau. Pretty damaging at best but a combination of poor on-field discipline, poor decision making and arm grabbing defence makes me wonder whether he’s worth it. 450k max for mine. Would prefer to see Blore/Tuilagi second row starters from 2023, Lucy to...

Return of the mystery prop ehh?! 🤫

??

Yeah for sure that’s what I’d do. Fill the remaining roster spots with guys like Peachey, Sam McIntyre, Luki, Schonig, E-Lee for the right price if they’ll come. Would still want big $$$ free in our 2022 cap is the main thing, allowing a proper bite at one or a couple of Harry, Cheese, Joey...

HIAs a concern for sure. Though from memory I think we wanted to keep him but classically our management was slow to get it done and he went north instead.

Sam McIntyre back off contract, would he be worth a look at if we couldn’t get Peachey? Aggressive ball playing lock role, maybe on a short term, low cost deal. Would allow Twal to go back to prop and SMac could share lock with Seyfarth maybe?

Well it wouldn’t be the only reason. Previous working relationships definitely have an advantage if the relationship was good in my opinion. If I personally was head hunted by a company with someone I didn’t know and a second competing company with a former work colleague/boss, it would be...

Really hoping Madge starts using his Kiwi connection once Nov1 hits. Looking at those available to negotiate we got Brandon Smith, Joey Manu, CHN. Madge also has a good relationship with Harry Grant it would seem, and he is a cult hero here even if he’s just in our hearts. Other notables I’d...

I usually am pretty cautious of getting hyped over players in the lower grades due to quality of opposition, though he looks really good!

100% a heap to improve. Though, he strikes me as the kind of guy that would work on building his game and seems really hard on himself and driven to succeed. With his work ethic I have no doubt he will only get better

 Not sure if posted already but interesting to see the future captains opinion

That’s fair, I can see the value in that. Guess it hinges on how good Hastings goes, I haven’t kept up to date with any of his ESL experiences so don’t know how he has progressed. It would leave our halves depth maybe a little thin would be my concern, especially with AD and TT (last resort)...

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. Brooks and the Wests Tigers are not compatible. Though both parties bring issues to the relationship, think it’s time to acknowledge the bad outweighs the good. Time for both parties to move on into the next chapter and let the healing begin.

Raiders need a half to partner Wighton. Frawley and Swilliams both off contract currently and both are subpar. The only other half option contracted to them next year that I can see is Brad Schneider (1 appearance). The club needs to be encouraging a trade of sorts or just plain offloading...

Peachey and Luki are top tier priority from the off contract list. Edrick Lee, Schonig and Turuva could be okay. Scott, Woods, Elliot, and Fergo I wouldn’t be too keen on personally.
