    2024 Squad List

    My top priority is a big dominant prop, then a quality edge left backrower. Would be great to get some more speed in the backs too, but I'm confident Flanno can make our NSW cup left edge of Tamale and Finau first grade ready if we can't sign any quality backs.

    The Rumours Thread

    Haran is well and truly rusted on here, can't see him being shafted - unfortunately for us.

    The Rumours Thread

    Canterbury will get Luai using TPJ money + TPA will get him over there. $1m+ a season.

    R27 Knights game.

    Reserves have been trimmed - Lobb remains on the extended bench and could still get a call up - similar to Finau last week. If it's true though that he's gone to the Tigers next year, I wouldn't bother giving him a debut with us.

    Round 26 v Warriors

    Haran implied there's future benefit to underspending the cap this year. Don't really get the cap management side, but seems the logical reason Max & Matt F keep getting picked over kids yet to debut.

    Bud News

    Possibly, but on that proviso, Hunt should be on the wrong side of that same line - yet he's expected to not only stay but keep the captaincy.

    Hunt has asked for a release

    Hunt's release request has Des' fingerprints all over it - if Hunt pulls the mental health card after being denied ala Saab, you know who's dirty work this is.

    New recruits for 2023

    Amone and Suli played their part in defence down that left corridor moreso than Feagai.

    Round 8 Vs Roosters ANZAC DAY GAME

    Bud v Walker would be great to watch. No stream on nswrl?

    New recruits for 2023

    D Fafita is unrealistic for our club, let's be real. I would personally go after Ethan Bullemor to play left edge. Underrated and would be agitating for a realise after Des brought him down from the Broncos to make the switch from prop to backrow, only to be sacked a year in. The kid has a...

    Round 14 vs Cowboys

    Suli and Bird both huge liabilities in defence. Said it before - we will probably miss the 8 unless that edge gets a new look. Team up Max at centre with his bro on the left and Moose in the left backrow. If our middles all do their jobs well, we won't need to rely on Suli's metre gains to...

    The Rumours Thread

    Jeremy Marshall King to Dolphins. Guess we can kill off that rumour previously circulating.

    Flanno's back

    2 rubbish rumours in the same day, one from Mole re Sloan unsettled and then this one re Sullivan swap from SMH. Both fake news pieces orginating from Fairfax media, the same company bulldogs GM (Gus) also works for - and the timing just happens to coincide with the week of our clash with the...

    Josh Kerr

    Extract from Kerr article: "I want to play at the end of the day too, and playing two positions and mastering my craft at both of them will help me get into that side but I think the boys (Griffin's) brought in it's going to be tough to fit into the side," he said...."My mentality has changed a...

    2022 Squad: Gains, Losses & Re-signings.

    Agree with this, these players will fill gaps. We lost a couple of games last year purely because we were forced to play guys out of position due to lack of depth. Kerr on the edge, Burns/Fui at centre, JDB at prop and McGuire even at 9. Hook is signing 1st grade ready players to make sure that...

    Cowboys game.

    A lot to like about these combos in the spine - my prediction is Burns will own that left edge after a big off-season. Tariq will move to the middle. A lot to look forward to.

    Sack Griffin

    Hook's extension merit next year should not just be based on the roster he assembles, but (besides where we finish on the ladder) also be based on the style of footy we play. Our current attack is outdated and ineffective (one-out conservative plays, minimal second phase, and overall off the...

    Billy Burns

    Both players have potential. Difference is I can't see Penrith needing to call on Blacker in 21' if one of their props was to go down. Penrith have decent depth and more developed junior props ahead of Blacker. However I can see us calling on Burns through 21' if we lost one of our edge...

    100% Official Griffin for the next 2 years

    Speaking of interviews - rewatched the nrl 360 show interviewing Hook on his appointment. One thing Griffin called out straight off the bat is our forwards needed a 'harder edge' and roster management would be crucial. Less than a month until season starts, we have definitely not recruited...

    Tyrell Sloan

    Matra of the club in the coming years should be to buy experience forwards and blood local backs. If you look at the current talent pool, it seems to be going that way which is positive. Our issue looks to be recruitment. We're one quality middle and one edge forward away from turning things...
