Man we're going to be in a good spot next year if we can upgrade a few of these guys rolling off...

Mbye is going to be the only overpaid player left... but thankfully he still does provide us with some value, unlike packer.

Mikaele needs to have a big year this year. Was off the boil big time last season.

if we get Hastings and J Simpkin develops well we can use Hastings at hooker Brooks at 7 and keep AD at 6
that would mean no need for Liddle
or
Don't take club option on Joey L
AD in centres
Hasting 6 Brooks 7
keep Liddle and Simpkin

It will be interesting to see how MCK and Garner, as well as others perform this year under new coaching and training.All of the players appear toned and bigger. There may be some big surprises.

I think that's what will happen re BJ. With both BJ and JTJ on club options for next year, I don't think we'll keep both.

where will Hastings play 7 or 6 ?
don't think we will move Brooks on so looks like fitting AD in at centre

You think Hastings will play FG? I'd like to see the signing become official first because he's a depth player if we sign him.

I hope he doesn't but I dont think he would sign on to play reserve grade
He probably wouldn't be ready for round 1 but with AD out maybe
At least we have some depth which is a positive

I can guarantee you he won't be here for round 1 - still has a contract with Wigan for this year and is not in Australia.

Lots of cash, but who do we buy?

If we start winning then other players will not instantly dismiss us and then we can further entice them with the NEW Centre of Excellence, our great Coach and the prospect of being a consistent Semi final side.

We are on the right path finally...

Any signs of **Edene Gebbie**?! 🇵🇬

Did he make it out of quarantine? 🤞🏽

Any update appreciated! 🙏🏾

THE_POM updated in another thread.

*"Haven’t heard much else with Gebbie, getting him over here has been a big drama & was originally meant to be in the Tamworth camp but so far not around."*

Sounds like we may not see him for some time, if ever.

Man we're going to be in a good spot next year if we can upgrade a few of these guys rolling off...

Mbye is going to be the only overpaid player left... but thankfully he still does provide us with some value, unlike packer.

Mikaele needs to have a big year this year. Was off the boil big time last season.

if we get Hastings and J Simpkin develops well we can use Hastings at hooker Brooks at 7 and keep AD at 6
that would mean no need for Liddle
or
Don't take club option on Joey L
AD in centres
Hasting 6 Brooks 7
keep Liddle and Simpkin



Seems like the Leilua bros are instrinsically linked... We either have both or neither.


Hope note. Lucy is a lot younger

Hope not as well, but we've seen how bone-headed Bj became when he thought Lucie copped a dirty shot. That was pure emotion from the two probably being very close. I just hope that it doesn't turn out to be a case of if we don't end up re-signing Bj, then Lucie might think twice about staying. It's not uncommon for players to follow coaches and we got Utoikumanu because he felt aggrieved over what Slimeys did to his bro.
But if Bj fires like we're all hoping he will this year, it shouldn't be an issue and we'll have the brotherhood tearing it up for another few seasons.

Well his dad was down at training a week or two ago “out of respect for Madge and a trainer (whose name escapes me), so if he wasn’t there to punch Madge out, then it would be safe to assume it was a decision of the young bloke?
