Lose Farah ,Matulino and Matterson

Gain Billy Walters ,LL and Musgrove

It ain't a step forward , hardly confidence building

If the latest SWAP RUMOUR of Gagai to Storm Addo Carr to Souths proves correct than I reckon LM to Souths AJ to Tigers has some logic.

That’s not a thing. If they weren’t willing to pay vunivalu 500k they aren’t gonna pay gagai that

Really interesting to see what Storm do - They only have 23 of thier top 30 signed up for 2020 and 22 if JAC leaves and for 2021 they currently only have 10 players on thier books (we have 19 to give you a comparison) so they have plenty of space to play and could be some massive changes for them with Cam Smiths last year this year probably. They will be looking for a changing of the guard in quality and quatity youd imagine

Reckon with Brandon Smith they have a pretty smooth changeover with Cam

They will need to perk up some positions ...but in essence ...they are set well for post Cam

You look at them and wish we were remotely in the same postcode ...let alone the same backyard

CANBERRA TO OFFER JACK WIGHTON NEW 3 YEAR CONTRACT
It is understood Wighton, 26, will be offered around $900,000 a season by Canberra – an increase on his current contract .

Won't leave much for Cotric may be WT's should target him with an offer to good to refuse

If there was a draft we could give them draft picks.

We would be the Cleveland Browns of the NRL. We would have that many number 1 picks

Waaaaay wrong. We're not even close to their level of mediocrity and I don't think anyone in the NRL is. And don't you get #1 picks when you finish last? We'd suck because we'd always be picking mid-lottery.


No, we are a basket case like the Browns.Good Players don’t wanna come to us and when they do they want to leave. Browns like
.

Riiiight. You work for the DT yeah? They love to use the word basketcase. If we're a basketcase what does that make teams 10-16? Not that I'm exactly proud of finishing 9th but some people on here are fatalistic.

Gee Gagai must be an accommodating bloke. A couple of days ago he was off to the Titans to free cap space for LM. Now, he's off to Melbourne to facilitate a swap with JAC. Like a pawn on a chess board.

Anyone else had mail that Arrow is coming to us? I am not one to normally spread random rumours, and have been as disappointed as anyone else with the players we were meant to get but haven't, but my information is that we have snuck under Souths noses and will get him.


Tigers were huge favs at one point prior to sam burgess medical retirement. Word is arrow agreed about a month or so ago with Souths.

I am happy to be proven wrong, but I don't believe he has signed with Souths at all. My mail is third hand and not a direct source but they did seem very confident and claimed to get the information from Jai himself. Fingers crossed as I'd prefer Arrow to Mitchell. He could be our Gareth Ellis

Do we really need him now though? Just signed Leilua and Musgrove to bolster an already significant pack. Unless Jai can play hooker, fullback or in the centres I don't think we really need him.

Arrow is the kicker in the deal ......Aloiai becomes an out and out second rower and you then add Twal to our prop rotation

We become a real strong forward pack with Arrow

Then with the cash we look the goods to potential backs /hookers /halves in 2021

Mbye for JAC is the only logical move if it's a swap.

They aren't gonna want Jennings.

The maths doesn’t add up . That’s LM , arrow and addo Carr to soufs . That’s 2.3 mil with 1.2 mil salary cap.
If it’s addo Carr to tigers LM to Souths AJ to tigers and Gagai to Melb, Arrow to Souths . The. That makes sense

Like I said let’s see in wash up where latrell and JAC end up.

I honestly don't think Latrell knows where he'll end up, let alone the rest of us

Might be wrong, but can't see how the Gagai math part of the equation works, even if he is on a bit less than what is thought, as I cannot see them not having to fork out cap dollars as part of it.

He might be brilliant in the field but at the moment he is still lacking maturity.

Why? Because he’s contracted for 2020 and isn’t in a rush to break it?

You've a point there if Roosters have now promised to put him straight into first grade in 2020. It was a different story until recently. If he goes straight into first grade with roosters he is very likely to stay with them.

Heard a rumor he is going to sign with Jenny Craig

I work with a young fella who was in the storm U20’s and still good mates with heaps of the boys and he was telling me the other day that they see Brandon as a 13 and the young guy playing for Sunshine Coast Falcons, Harry Grant will take over from Cam Smith.

Yeah they've been saying this all year.

B Smith looks like a cabbage patch kid but he's a wild player. Leaves it all on the field.

Melb will he a Q cup team by 2022 I hope fielding Nicho Hynes types and struggling to make the 8. It's what they deserve.

Apparently he is strong as an ox too and Harry Grant has huge wraps on him.
