I even think Doueihi plays first receiver in attack like a traditional halfback, but with the number 13 on his back, so conceivably we have two 5/8ths, one for each side. So long as his defence holds up, that could be a winning formula and a way to get 3 halves on the field at the same time...

I was told it's a brand-new jersey design from someone who's seen them. Will announce Canterbury merch deal at the same time.

That's what the Dark Side does to a person. It corrupts from the inside out. And yes, Bellamy is Emperor Palpatine in this scenario. :)

Attard would be a great get!

Agreed. This is from someone connected to the agents but not Moses, so shaky at best, but they've been close before. Just found the numbers interesting. In other news, I'm now pretty close with an ex-player/personality who has close ties with our coaching staff (enough to text them and get a...

It's what I heard today he was offered. Will be interesting if he accepts.

Thoughts on Bula for $750k for 5 years? Seems like a win win to me.

This talk that we have the most expensive spine in the NRL didn't sound right, so I pulled the numbers: BRONCOS Walsh - $1M Mam - $750k Reynolds - $550k Hunt - $600k SPINE TOTAL = $2.9M (But keep in mind they have Haas on $1.1M, Carrigan on $750, Staggs on $700k) Top 7 players = $5.45M. average...

If our starting props are May and Pole, then I'd have Bunty replace Pole at the 20-minute mark, and Hunt replace May for 10 mins either side of half. That leaves Twal and Sione to play lock (as I think Doueihi will be starting 7 with Latu at 14) until Lindsay Smith arrives in 2027...

I can hear Dan Ginnane now. "Going. Going. Goooone!"

Some people are saying we don’t have room in the salary cap for certain signings. I’m not sure why that would be the case. Below is an example of a balanced use of the club salary cap (obviously, this is just a generalisation for the sake of argument). 2026 SALARY CAP: $11.5M (Plus $300k for...

100% strike rate. Better than the Storm and Panthers. ;)

Even 2 years on $400k (what he is reportedly on at Storm) wouldn't be terrible business. Fit, strong defender, from a good system and just out of a grand final -- plus he's 195cm. Would partner May well or off the bench. Imagine him and a renewed Hunt on the field at the same time...

Bird is looking elsewhere too (some behind-the-scenes stuff I promised not to share) so could have another roster spot before the start of next season. I love his energy but didn't really find his spot here. Also, the tigers would love Talakai but doubt the Sharks will let him go after his...

Who's Radley's player agent?

At the start of the season I said winning 10 games would be a pass mark. We won 9. So I guess thats a fail. That being said, pass or fail is a false binary, thus why its a ladder with 17 places. No one can deny we improved from last year. Black and white thinking is rarely a healthy mindset...

So if both Manly and Eels win this weekend, our finals hopes are still alive. Even if Dolphins beat Manly, we could still make it but they would have to lose to the Titans the following week, which could be a bridge too far. If Roosters win this round, then the highest we can finish is 9th...

My take is we just need one elite middle forward to round out our team. Either a Haas-esque prop to partner May (I know, dreamin') OR we persist with Pole as starting no.10 and get a gun lock. 8. May 9. Api 10. Haas-type 11. KPP 12. Fainu 13. Twal/Doueihi OR 8. May 9. Api 10. Pole 11. KPP...

He's been offered an extension on minimum (~$150k). His rep is looking around to see if he can get a gig closer to $300k which is what he's on, but if there are no buyers, he may end up here on the cut price contract or even a 2nd tier contract.
