Tats captaining. He leads by his actions and has been getting right back to his old best in recent weeks.

It's been an amazing comeback from him this year and one of the really positive stories for us this season amongst the injury carnage.

Dom young has been given permission to leave, maybe a good pickup
Solly said weeks ago that we only have $150k left for this year's cap. I doubt the Roosters pay half his freight. There was also some mail around saying the knights want him back. If they were to let Schiller go to accommodate him, I'd be happy to take Schiller. Unlike Young, Schiller can also defend.

Do we have a look at this bloke, Wiremu Greig, for a short term contract for the remainder of this season with an option moving forward if he does well?

Ryles is a former front rower and he doesn't want him. Not the best endorsement but we are short on front rowers.

He struggles to stay fit and you usually only get two 15min stints out of him. He is very ill disciplined on the field also and gives away a lot of penalties and spends time in the bin for lazy head highs.

but agree we are lacking some size and if Wayne has any magic dust left maybe he can turn this guy around.

But can he play is the question, has he rehabilitated that knee,its no use paying if he is only half right,bloody roosters are smartarses, facilitating the move so they dont fork out,its a mistake on our part,he cant be match fit

"Smith is due back from ACL injury in around six weeks"

He can play dummy half once he is fit again.

I know so 6 weeks of rehab we pay for and if he has a setback we are f**ked,bloody roosters feathering their own nest,i dont want him now
Very negative thinking but you're entitled to your view.

For mine, once a player is fit, they're fit. Getting him now we can be more reassured about how he is tracking and at the same time, he can integrate socially into the team environment. I trust our rehab team (despite the spate of unfortunate injuries we've been experiencing) because they're Wayne's people that he has brought in with him and Wayne is no fool.

It's just a pity Smith isn't fit to play right now just as we've lost Mamo to a lengthy injury that could also be about 6 weeks.

Mate,i call a spade a spade, i dont talk up for the sake of it, at the moment recruitment is non existent and has been for many years,ello needs to go with the 6 or more players tapped, we need to source players,like stewart has done,everyone was writing the raiders off, now we are the writeoffs,and im not sugarcoating it,im depressed and upsett because i saw the problems before the season started, we are a haven for oldies and injury prone hacks on too much money, cody needs to go,this is his 2nd season with calfs and hamstrings,host ,mitchels, etc
And if munro has 1 more collar bone break he can go too
