Made some comments on social media as a joke and in this hyper sensitive world, some people got offended...it's not even sure that the teammates were offended.

I might add, it wasn't very funny from a comedic point of view, but typical male banter. Mainly women offended and male feminists.

Some people just need to be offered makes them feel special

It's only an internal joke and if it's not funny I am Shaw his teammates will let him know

I'm fairly certain there will be conga line of clubs willing to pay more than $500k for Mark. Let Richo focus on getting us a decent middle and perhaps a backup outside back on the cheap. Making a less than committed play for another premier winger will just rock the boat with the guys that are there already.

Yea...

I really think Winger should be the last position we get 'right' with Turuva moving to Centers.
Yet I see real potential in Mark N, sorry not potential ... Performance and try scoring ability. You know what we actually want instead of "this guy will be the next big thing in 5 years, so go babysit him for 4 till his manager can get a better team to give him a contract".

go 650k and see if he joins. Just because of talent. But if it doesn't happen, find that mysterious lock that we need and another forward and press on.
Also no "hey player X you are now asked to go look for another team 11 months after we have signed you". we either have the space or we say no.

Not trying to be contractory, don't really want to sign a winger, but will make exception for Mark Naga because he can perform.

I miss the old: quickly offended/quickly forgiven.

I.e. I once said "I want my pound of flesh", which offended someone who said "the origins of that offends me". So "I am so sorry, I had no idea the origins of that phrase offended people. I fully retract that statement".

To which the other person replied...

...

"No Problems at all!"

Is that hard?

Can anyone tell me why we wouldn't make a play for Siliva Havili for '26 & '27?

He wasn't extended by Souths due to Brandon Smith, Peter Mamouzelous, Bud Sullivan & Jamie Humphrey covering hooker.

Yes he's 33 next season but he has a tank and can play both dummy half & middle so is ideal as a permanent bench utility.

Look at these stats: https://www.nrl.com/players/nrl-premiership/south-sydney-rabbitohs/siliva-havili/

Surely conditions of a 2 year deal with us & not having to move to the UK is more attractive! Maybe not?

He's like a wider Matt Utai, really hard to tackle.

Why exactly are they in a conga line?

If you can't tell the difference between "what is fine at the pub" and "what should not be said in front of the general public" then that's on you.

Just read an article about it. It's humor I'd expect from a 15 yo honestly. Idk how these anime nerds became so good at league. Sorry if I offended someone.

Good news WT pathways fans. Riley Oitmann locked in for '26 & '27 on what I assume will be a Jersey Flegg contract as he turns 20 next year. Lightning fast fullback/wing with good skills with hand & foot and a big boot despite his diminutive size. Good prospect in either the Ryan Papenhuyzen or Logen Dillon mould, hopefully more Papz.

No doubt Richo was reading our comments about him on here a couple of days ago. Threw that 2 year offer his way. Haha
Happy to see him still at the club for a couple of years at least!
 
Broncos reportedly have informed Fletcher Baker he won’t be re-signed (via Courier Mail)

maybe we should be looking at him or is he a bit of a plodder ?
