Max LOL! getting paid $600k for nothing. What a rort. Bernie ? Worst signing in club history ! LOLLLL !

[Funny how a spot in the top 8 changes the landscape] :thinking:
It’s a funny point but surely they should be jumping all over us being in top 8 to try again. Although they probably don’t need to worry

Rumours suggest he is on $800k which is too much regardless of his form. If Penrith throw in $200k would be a good investment. Him and Welch would transform our pack and with our backline and sorting our defence we'd be in a premiership window. But is BA up to the task?

If RCG comes to us, I think he is going to take our frontrow rotation to another level. He is slowly but surely getting back to his old self. Those two broken jaws obviously took a lot of confidence out of him and that's why you don't see those long ferocious runs at present, but I think they will probably start to come back into his game next year, barring any further mishaps, with more game time.

Even without them though he is still making very good metres and he tackles well. He will quickly establish himself as our frontrow leader and complement Paulo very well. Two broken jaws in succession are nothing to sneeze at and will have a psychological affect on most people. Especially a player that builds a big part of his game on brutality and intimidation.

Considering that the Panthers will be paying a big wack of the large contract that he has signed with the Panthers, I feel we will be the beneficiaries of his best years at a very competitive price. It's kind of like having a TPA without having one. This is a very good signing, bar injury. I can't wait to see him in Blue and Gold.

But yes that mo has to go. He looks like a poonce.
No Mo’s at Bones on Bones mate???

Do we want to come 4th and play the Storm in Melbourne or come 5/6 and play a sudden death home semi?

no brainer 4th

Most likely need to win our final 6 matches, maybe 5? which would mean we would have some serious momentum going into the finals, and a 2nd chance buffer if needed.

I bet you a lottery ticket that Alvaro will sign a new deal with the Eels for 2021+.
If we get Welsh and RCG Alvaro will be extremely lucky to even train with NRL side. We do need players for our new NSW Cup side next year don't we?

You need 6 NRL props + 2 rookies in your squad who will be rotated throughout the year (due to suspensions and injury). Gower and Timmy won't be there in 2020.
