    People criticising POM like they have better mail. There is honestly no incentive or reason to post inside mail on here if you have it. None. Even if your mail is right 90% of the time, you will get scolded for the other 10% where the club has been mislead by media/management or something has...

    Hastings article today was an interesting read. Personally think it really shows the professionalism of Jacko and Sheens. Many have questioned the decision, but for a player who received a major pay upgrade and a long term deal in the position they prefer, to turn around and vent to the media...

    Currently overseas, hence the lack of posts/info.

    First of all, apologies for the long post below as I do not get to post often for various reasons. Following on from that, I have just caught up on the forum and... wow. Anyway. Matamua upgrade today had nothing to do with 'missing out' on anyone. Sheens has been really impressed with...

    Sorry to disappoint, but Nanai will stay a Cowboy. Not sure where CG has received his info but it is well off the mark in this instance. Leniu and Klemmer still the most likely to join the squad for 2023, along with Bateman. Bateman will depend on transfer fee and personal terms, so there are...

    To be fair, as much as fans like to label Twal as a 'plodder' you could see the difference in the defensive effort in the middle after Twal was injured. He's not you're athletic powerful front rower we all love to see progress over the advantage line. He won't be the direct reason you score a...

    OFFICIAL Harold Matthews Cup

    Edited to include some archives to start thread. Miller, Da Silva, Laulilii, Gavin, Colquhoun, Craig and Keppie are all locked in for 23 and will be in the SG squad early next season (most of the winning team will also be back). After the SG Ball season is finished, most of the ones...

    There has been a notable difference over the last 6 months between the front office and football department. There seems to be a much greater separation between the front office and the football department (in a good way). Sheens is running a much tighter ship, which is why there less leaks out...

    Lenui is a Western Sydney boy through and through and wants to stay out west. Tigers are the most realistic option in terms of him staying out west and allowing him to be a starting prop. Api has been in his ear, same with Staines. Bulldogs, Dragons and Manly also after him. I have heard...

    The style of footy to expect next season will be much different. It will be centred on pushing forward and creating second phase play which Klemmer will help with his offloading. If they can find a suitor, Musgrove would be most likely to go. IF everything goes to plan, we would see a Stefano...

    Staines - Peachey swap should be finalised soon. Penrith just working our cap dispensations for Peachey with the NRL. Leniu and Klemmer are both likely. Few clubs in for Leniu. Sneaky whisper that Simpkin may go to Penrith, not sure if that’s permanently or on loan.

    That was Moses biggest issue early in his career. He tried to score on every single play rather than trying to game manage. Probably doesn’t help when you’re young and trying to prove your coach wrong. Youthful exuberance. He would often over play his hand attempting the spectacular far too...

    Yes, I would definitely say you are. He’s received a bad wrap over the years from fans based on what they see on the field and from the Cleary drama. He’s actually a fairly humble and down to earth kid. He’s never had any off field issues, gives fans the time and respect they deserve (even...

    Obviously I can't say where it is from... for obvious reasons. I do hear a fair bit and post on here when/where I can but I also hold back often because much of the info that goes around is garbage or out by clubs/media/agents to serve a certain agenda. Any average punter can see how the media...

    The mail I have received suggests that Hastings is very keen to stay. His management are playing it smart and hoping he gets picked for England for the WC and increases his value. He is also eager to play halfback which may be an issue with Brooks close to re-committing, however he seems to...

    Nothing worth bringing up at this stage. There seems to be a fair bit of chatter going on with agents and clubs. I expect things to start moving quickly now that the season is over for most clubs and the others finishing up soon. Sounds like there will be plenty of movement at clubs like...

    Just my own thoughts, but heard he’s been scouted by a few clubs. Also think he’s better on an edge. He’s a Hudson Young/Crichton type player. Runs hard and hits even harder in defence. He is the only one worth taking from Super League imo. Made the SL team of the year for the last 3 or 4...

    Morgan Knowles would be even better than Bateman. About to hit his peak, with the speed, size and toughness to make an impact in the NRL. Been the best forward in ESL for the last couple season imo.

    Broncos from what i have heard. It's all irrelevant, there is only two real options. Take unders at Melbourne or become the highest paid player in the game at the Dolphins. Everyone else is wasting their time.

    Around 500k has been wiped off the salary cap next season with the departures of Mikaele and Luciano early and the loans of Gildart and Nofoaluma. Pole and Nu Brown to be upgraded to top 30 (unsure of the last spot). Gildart, Liddle, Roberts, Peachey and Tuki will all likely be gone this off...
