Albert Hopoate.... future star of the game has huge wraps about him as a fullback however would be hard to get a start behind Tommy turbo!

Off contract end of this year, most likely will be on the move.... yes I’m pulling out the highlight package - the kid has the speed and X factor along with incredible strength to be a real problem in the league

That is exactly what we need. The question is can he do that at NRL level.

Comes from a strong bloodline

A poster on the Illawara site advised Saab to WTs, Sailor has rejected a 2 year deal, Aitken will not be re-signed and both Sims bros want out. Sims bros news is a shock as both are Illawarra juniors.

Tariq Pleaseeeeeee

As long as he keeps his hands and fingers where we can see them unlike his old man.

Thank God none of the boys seem to be like their old man.

Sad as the old man had ability. I wonder if old man has influence on his sons decisions
 
Souths have re-signed Campbell Graham. Looking more and more unlikely they hang onto Johnston or sign JAC

Personally, I wouldn't think so.
 
Rumours Gareth Widdop may be returning to the NRL

Massive yes from me he’s still only 31 so has a solid 2-3 more good years and he’s an absolutely incredible goal kicker from memory

Him and Brooks as a combo could be lethal as much as I like Foran would much prefer Widdop

I thought Widdop went back because he was homesick?

Wants a return for "family reasons"
Sounded out dragons. potential player swap with Corey Norman (share same manager) If drags can't move Norman, he'll look at other NRL clubs. Same DT article had this..

The Dragons could also lose boom young winger Jason Saab at season’s end after his manager and the club met on Tuesday. St George Illawarra will give the 19-year-old permission to negotiate with rival clubs with the likes of Manly, Wests Tigers and Canterbury set to make a play. The Dragons are seeking a player in return.

Saab is contracted until the end of 2022 but has agitated for a release on multiple occasions this year. The club denied him a mid-season exit. Saab has grown tired of the commute from Merrylands to Wollongong for training and wants to move to a club closer to the family home.

Swap Saab for Mbye
 
Is Corey Norman a player we could use? Seem to have problems at the Eels and has not cementedca spot at Dragons? 200 NRL games and can goal kick as well. Plays full back and in the
Halves. Will be 30 when next season starts.

One of the biggest no’s I’ve ever given to anyone, he would be a dreadful signing! And would struggle under Madge’s expectations for sure

no, his finals record speaks for itself. despite possessing plenty of talent he can't translate it into results. Widdop on the other hand would be excellent.

Not under any circumstances.
