At a shit club that was moved on, he’s just wasted space. A massive slug.
And now he’s at a better club he is playing less first grade. What’s the problem exactly? That he’s not young? Young forwards are shit. The ones who aren’t are too expensive to keep in reserve grade.

The Storm have Jordan f**king Grant in their top 30 ffs. He’s older than Ogden but with far less NRL experience. Though he has played a couple of test matches for Serbia.

Ogden and Rodwel got 2yr extensions. They are fine if they are seen as player 29 and 30. They could do job.
The problem is if someone outside that is better. I reckon Morretti is.
Laizou and Rein are bigger issues. I dont think either are up to NRL.

I wonder if Jake will "do a Sua'ali'i" and look elsewhere, now that Moses re-signing means his path to first grade starter in his preferred position is blocked?
Unless a club is actually clearing the decks for a 7, then really you’re going to bide your time like Sean O’Sullivan, hope that you get a few games in NRL and nail those occasions.

There is a lot of pressure on Jake with Sanders and Lynn coming through, Mac Pafusi and Talagi ahead of them. In Flegg yesterday Ned Hicks switched from centre to 6 and Pafusi to 7. That left the usual half Riley Lack left right out.

Interesting times ahead, cos we’re looking at the Top 30 being expanded to maybe 38 as players are now only a few wobbles away from being Ponga f**ked.

Its true, few bad head knocks and it can be career over these days. Ponga not a certainty to return to the field and Gamble finds himself in first grade for while Ponga is in Canada getting treatment. Many variables in a career.
Fortunately Moses has been reasonably durable so far.

Moimesea only makes the bench. And that is with Lane and Jnr not available meaning Murchie and Makatoa most likely drop back when are. He won't even make the side.

Momoisea relegated to the bench in Reggies. How soon before he is told to go and talk to a Ron Massey Cup team, where all good pub footballers belong.
