IMO there is a lot of importance on who will be our NSW Cup contracted players announced in the next few days. We sadly lacked depth & importantly leadership last year.
If reports are correct, Kurt Falls & Charlie Murray (former Bris Tigers premiership winning lock) will help immensely with leadership & experience. Also previously rumoured Jake Watmough (Sydney Shield POY, backrower).
Plus those WT T&T players like Tim Johannssen, Jaxson Rahme, Tristan Hope, Eiden Ackland, Vaka Aho, Kobie Wilson and JF eligible Lachlan Broederlow.
Also promising trio (out of JF age this season) Cayne Nicholas, Bailey Hodges & big Herman Tofaeono have been training with the Magpies in the pre-season.
