I doubt anything from any club will happen until at least December.

Does pre-season start today? If not, when does that start?

Starts Wednesday 3 November for most of the squad including some of our juniors who were identified coming through to train with the NRL squad.

Says a lot about this club and what it has done to its fans that people are talking up the idea of signing a 33 year old Naiqama as an upgrade/positive.
A total embarrassment,confirming our staus as the real donkeys of the NRL

Even our supporters never stop talking everything down. Gloom. gloom, gloom.

We have cap space and Hartigan is gone

That's what i'm afraid of.

Hartigan wouldn’t spend. Think Sheens will operate differently. He will spend on the right player

My gut feel is Koro to dogs

How could they afford him with their salary cap problems at the moment ???

I don’t rationally have an explanation. Just a thought that won’t go away.

Isn't he leaving the Wobbiblies to play club Rugby in Japan as his family are there?

Could be wrong. Would love him back

Sorry meant hooker at Penrith

A decade of no finals and inability to attract quality players will do that.

Hartigan wouldn’t spend. Think Sheens will operate differently. He will spend on the right player

Because his cap management was so great in the past?

Sheens is a great coach but his salary cap management has never been very good.

No coach works alone with cap management someone has to give the green light.

Sheens is the green light.

Backended contracts in trying to retain a playing squad with limited funds got us into trouble when Sheens was coach. The only player bought to the club as I recall on big money was Adam Blair. I would say Cleary/ Pascoe over spending wildly on players that were not worth it on long contracts was far more damaging.

You know which juniors will be training with the top squad ?

Dillon, Stevanovic, Scolari, Rua Ngati, Perry are the names I’ve been told.

I meant clubs announcing new signings for 2023. Re-signings can happen at any time. Maybe the Dolphins might be an outlier.

I have zero confidence with Sheens managing our cap. We've seen what he has done in the past.
