I didn't think I needed to make an exception for 3 players out of 46. The way Leniu was bitching about match payments I'd wager he would ditch Samoa to play for Australia given the chance. Batman is a mercenary so I wouldn't put it past him either. Allowing internationals to be eligible for...

Grubby move by Khawaja. Was happy for his mates to take a bullet, wasn't prepared to stand for them at the time because he knew that there was money and a career on the line, but now he's retired and got everything he wants out of the game on the field now is the time to find delayed moral...

Haumole, Crichton and Hammer would be the only ones that would be in contention for selection. And if they're not the highest paid players at their respective clubs, they're top 3 at worst so they aren't hanging out for Kangaroo money, especially when they played origin this year.

PNG is geopolitical, especially after the Solomon Islands buddied up with China.

Didn't Nick used to be Balmain board member?

Yeah, so when he can string some games together and find some form I'll think about getting excited his prospect as a future long term 7 then...

He's free to go if he finds another club.

Wasn't it all about representing their heritage? Guarantee if they were picked for Australia they'd forget about heritage when someone is waving $40k a game under their snouts.

Im not getting excited about Latu, bloke tears a pec when he sneezes.

May as well sign JAC, a three quarter line of JAC, Averillo, May and Turuva wouldn't be the worst. Tavana and Masi could do with more time in cup.

What is the pacific generating exactly? Aren't most of the polynesian players from Tonga and Samoa either born and/or largely raised in Australia or NZ, and therefore a product of Australian and Kiwi RL systems? A quick Google search says that only 3 Samoan and 1 Tongan player were born in their...

I'm all for signing a better one. Madden isn't good enough, he's a fill in. But he's the only 7 we have currently.

Was Paul Hayward the one that got pinged for drug importation in SE Asia?

Well enjoy another undetermined amount of years in the wilderness. Club has an obsession with playing two running halves in the 6 and 7 and no organising half. Until we have a half-back who is a genuine organising half we aren't making any finals series. We don't even have an average half-back.

Better sign a better half-back then hey since he is the only one we have. Won the most games out of all our halves in 2026. More than Doueihi, more than Luai.

Yeah and if you don't have a first grade quality halfback you don't win games either. See the last 15 years.

I can't remember the last time I sat down in front of one. At least 5 years or so.

Madden was our most winning half in 2026.
