AD on an edge with Curtis Sironen would be a handful

Imagine Roberts outside them!

Not getting my hopes up there but jimmy in A1 that does sound potent

The biggest issue is one of our highest paid players is a 6 and I can see a push coming form the club to get more out of the high salaries we have.

I can see Josh getting a “mid season move to another club “ eg . The cowboys . And Mbye moving to Brisbane .

I really think the club will start with Reynolds at 5/8th. I personally would like to see Ad given the offseason and trials at 6 to see if he has what to takes.

I think (hope) Madge is looking to the future. AD showed more in the game vs Parra than Reynolds ever has with us.

Im not disagreeing with you but think there may be some pressure to make better use of the higher paid players.

You could be right, I just hope he picks the best team. I think our backline could be a handful if AD is at 6.

I do as well
 
For mine, AD is not five-eighth material. He's just too lanky and slow.

We need someone faster and agile who can find the gaps between tired forwards, get outside of defenders and create overlaps.

They're forum whipping boys, but give me Reynolds or Mbye at five-eigth any day of the week.
 
He would be my first choice no6 and my first choice captain. Big call I know, but he looks like a leader to me, a player who would have the respect of his team mates

The club has been very clear with josh that he isn’t required. Josh however is happy to sit on his ass and do nothing as one of our highest paid earners.
 
I think he'll go well at 6. He's got a good passing game, can throw a great cutout pass and aside from Benji probably has the best spiral bomb in the comp.

If Josh sits on his ass all season it will be his last year in the NRL.

I don’t think he cares. He’s getting his superannuation from us. $2million over 3years. He will never have to work again.

Yep, and a great step as well.
 
I think Josh will get first crack at 5/8 next season.
He didn’t perform poorly when he was pairing with Brooks last season.
Benji was the fly in the ointment. His attack was good but defensively a liability but that been his problem through this career.
Remember Sheens used to hide him on the wing.

I hope not. I hope we just pick the best players in their position based on performance, not what their salaries are.

Madge does this though. I assume Reynolds will be getting plenty of game time in reserves.

I gotta disagree mate. I think the team will be built around AD , Blore , Luci and Simpkins/Liddle. The

Why would the club push next year and not this year. Last year of a contract is really up to the player to push. We owe them no favours
 
AD’s break out game at five eighth reminded me of Wighton too. I think his pace was hampered by injury early last year. He showed better speed towards the end of the year. Hopefully his speed continues to improve. I’m keen to see him in the role and am hoping he makes it his own.

Benji ran too much at the line and really killed any good ball to the centre’s. AD has a great long pass on him , and with strike power in the centres next year , get them early ball and we will look great.
 
I remember watching AD throw a left to right pass in a game. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. It was a bullet and went a good 15m. He has the skills to be a good 5/8. We will see.

I can tell you that's exactly his attitude...he was told mid last year he is not in the WT plans, the club has done everything it can to find him another club, no other NRL club is even remotely interested in him only 2 SL clubs but he does not want to move...Enjoy playing for Group 8 in 2022 Josh!
