Sullivan must be gone.

I was hoping we’d keep Madden over Brooks a few years ago. At least Madden is a true 7 given we’ve got Luai and Latu who are arguably both 6s.

Hopefully some proper depth that won’t decide to leave halfway through next year.

Works out well for depth so does this mean AD is gone?

Sounds like AD is gone...

At very least, nice to see someone leave on amicable terms and both club and player happy to come back again

Madden is a KOE depth signing.. douhei will always be in the NRL team.

might just mean AD not considered a half......

So its all mighty mouses fault

The 2 players we should target to land 1 as backup half is Jonah Glover & Jock Madden. Being 1st drop for us is much better than their current positions & both can goal kick too. Glover has a higher ceiling but Madden has experience. No one else I could see come to us to be back-up when they can be back-up at their current club (i.e Schneider).

No I'm not Shannon Gallant btw haha

 

[tigahhh]

are we definitely sure it’s depth guys ?
Ok if he’s back up, don’t love it if he’s for FG

Richo signing reserve graders , where are the first graders we actually need said 2 or 3 we got 1. KPP , I would have signed May Jnr before Madden as well

Much needed depth if Sullivan is gone. Great get for the Magpies...

 

[innsaneink]

Prefer a big barnstorming forward

No way he is signed for 1st grade

I don't mind Madden...

He's got some experience and I think he genuinely liked being at the Tigers.

Good back up option for us.
I think he's better than Sullivan and Falls.

Probably play a lot of cup and get a few chances in first grade.

I'm happy with it.

okay, i think i just have PTSD from the era when he was here so I’m not huge on the signing 🤣 but if it’s depth I’ll cop it

Definitely sure it’s for first grade.
Taking Luai’s spot.
Jarome’s been informed today that he’ll be in cup for the next 4 years.
Definitely confirmed.
