BRADLEY, Kane
CINI, Zac
HOFFMAN, Reece
MADDEN, Jock
SIMPKIN, Jake

Maybe we're offloading MCK so we can get CHN. I certainly hope so

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’d hope Simpkin would jump Walters and start getting named on the extended bench.

Yup. Lucky they are outside backs we will need them.

"Players on development contracts will be available to play as soon as the competition resumes on May 28, easing the rule that required an NRL exemption for them to be named before June 30."

The Kennel seem to believe MCK is joining them for 2.5 years. At the end of the highlights package MCK seems to have a smile on his face whereas Brooks and a couple of others don't look happy.

I'll have a smile on my face if CHN fills his spot.

Hopefully we announce and replacement for Thomson soon surely we had a replacement lined up before we let him go

Surely we aren’t releasing forwards in a time like this, how many are we missing now? We need to keep him

With Leilua gone would have been handy to have Thompson right now

We can't keep going backwards with fringe first graders. Thompson and Chee Cam, Taylor, Lawrence, and players like this need to go. They take up vital squad positions that could be filled by younger guys waiting for a chance. These positions should be fill ins for injury or suspension, not 26 game first graders per season.

They have been great for us but we need to keep moving forward.

Let him go if it is true. His contribution off the bench has decreased and a spot for a young player is available.

Who takes his spot? We need a second rower on the bench and he can also cover centre. He’s not been great but at the same time I don’t know if Lawrence does any better

Can’t do any worse

Like the comparison with Rowdy a player that should of retired last season .. MCK that’s an embarrassment but pretty spot on .. just another passenger in the Tigers train at present !

Clubs been a tight shop recently

No rumours or leaks

 

[finnzo]

It’s probably a good thing but not much fun for all of us hahaha

Or everyone is offering their fringe players to the warriors for experience

 

[Lukic]

Doueihi is a fullback or centre. He doesn't have the ball-playing for five-eighth. He struggles quite a bit in isolating the man in front of him and getting his outside man the ball. His cut-out passes are ok, but so, so often the ball dies with him in our backline movements. He reminds me of Josh Dugan a lot, just a little better with the ball in hand.

Lower body injuries piling up across the league this year. Depth is being tested especially in the outside backs. Probs why there’s not much movement between clubs.
Is it just me or am I seeing a lot of damage being done by 3rd man in tacklers going for the legs. Thought the NRL issued a notice they were clamping down on that a couple years ago. Seem to be letting it slide now

Probably because there’s not much going on. At the moment all the focus is on training and playing. Towards the end of the year it’ll heat up again.

I would be surprised if Chee Kam goes

 

[OzLuke]

From what I saw the other day this Saab kid from the dragons isn't as flash as people might think....are we still chasing him?

Unless they are seeing something that I'm not....his hit ups from the back weren't good, he looks uncomfortable and very lightweight especially with his height.....

With any luck clearing a forwards spot for Stefano.
