Brandon Smith has the same clause in his contract that Harry Grant does - if Cameron Smith plays on next year he can quit his contract a year early, he wants to play hooker. Would throw money at both guys if that happens.

Pretty good chance we can grab Harry Grant for a longer deal I reckon, it’s either gonna be Cameron or Brandon Smith playing hooker and it’s clear he wants to be playing first grade now. He’s already at the club and (hopefully) will be training and playing with us so he already has a foot in the door. Would be one of our best pieces of business ever

Cam will be done at the end of 2020 imo

It will be interesting - with a disrupted season his body won't have been hit as hard. And with the ego he has i'm sure he would rather finish his career at the end of a normal season so its all about him rather than just a footnote attached to the season that never happened.

True. Same could apply to Benji too.

I hope not Benji has been an asset to the club but his time should be over

How so? I reckon he would have to be the best value halfback in the league

100% correct

And after he is done he gets a pre placed job right in the nrl headquarters....


BUT the might not be the case is toddy is gone by then

 

[Cairnstigers]

With the way our blokes defend he’ll be quite at home. He probably watched the Knights highlights and said, “I can do that!”

Yeah
He can take Nofolumas spot
Can't get worse than that

Many of the defensive issues in our last game where because he either missed tackles or he wasnt in position to make them.The defence on that side of the field has not been good for years but having it weak that close to the ruck only makes it even harder to compensate for.Dont get me wrong he has been a positive for us over the years but you cant keep on playing forever we need another 6 for next year

Re our last game, I heard (and this may be wrong) that the teams were told at half time of the comp ending after the game, so there's the reason the 2nd half was a tip game.

Problem is only one team(ours) was playing "tip"

Wow ..... what an excuse.
I’m still trying to find my remote I chucked somewhere that day. If that’s it then they need to be sacked .... the lot of them.
Another performance like that and we are well and truly back to square one and I’m ready to throw in the towel.
Got better things to do than waste my time watching such groundhog gutless rubbish over and over again.

Not having a go at you but what a pathetic excuse for our players to give up
What sort of example does that set for others
Where is the never say die attitude

If it's true, who at the club allowed the players to get that info at half time?

Do any of these rumours hold any weight in the state we're in right now - sure they've both apparently agreed to terms, but it's almost pointless right now till we know how we're coming out of this.

Yep ...if the cap gets cut by 2-3 million a club all deals will need to be renegotiated ......1.1 million for Ben Hunt ....anyone ...anyone ...anyone .....

Smith will retire
He won't want to get his socks dirty for anything less than $1'000'000 a season

Todd will pay him that just as one last goodwill gesture. Sooner both those maggots are out of the game the better. Just a shame people couldn't get bashed out of the game like back in ye good olde days.

But wait ... Madge is such a great coach!

Yeah, he had bad game. But pretty good in the first. if we got rid of everyone after a bad game, we would be left with twal only.

How good is Twal. Made almost 100 tackles over the two games and only missed two. Freak

A good marker of your team is how well, or how quick they rebound from a poor performance .. Madge does not like bad performances of any type .. !! I'm pretty sure the boys got a floggin at training and Madge will be demanding an all round better performance from everyone. No coach will stand for back to back bad performances or players will roll. I bet we've all played in in a side that had turned in a pretty bad performance .. but the next game we all put our shoulders in and stood up like we were bullet proof .. and guess what, we won .. !!

Has the team trained together since the Newcastle embarrassment? I don’t think they have.

No clubs are.

I'd find it hard to believe teams were told anything at half time other than anything relevant to the game at hand
