But Bomber said he was training the house down.
We have a few players in our 30 who are never to play first grade again

And he probably was, not sure why he'd lie about it. With Talakai injured and Ferris injured (though not sure he can even play being in the development squad) Hiroti is next man up..sadly. Wasn't impressed with his Dogs trial performance so expectations were low.

There is a raider off contract from yesterday Sebastian Kris, he out played Hiroti,
We will need a centre for next year.
He would not be expensive

Depends on perception. Is he as good as Xerri for example. Bronwyn was supposedly on $300k. Is Kris worth 300k? Who knows, he's worth what the market says and what he does this yearn what will likely be limited opportunities.

To me it would be buying a player for the sake of it. He's not better than what we have when all are for and not suspended.

Wasn't aware the Roosters stole the Kaiviti Silktails

Yep last year after covid hit and they weren't playing (which was to be for us). There are stories about at the moment where Petero is saying it will be announced soon who they are going to be a feeder for, but it was announced last year after us that The Roosters are now doing it. I'll link both

And maybe you meant these two who have snow signed for The Roosters as well

The Roosters have room to fit the entire country of Fiji under there sombrero

Dogs rumoured to have signed Brandon smith from Melbourne. Everyone to the dogs.
To my point though, we need to get our ship in order before we miss players like smith.

Two points on this.
1. If correct re Smith is this a sign re Bellamy.
2. Barrett will sign a bunch of players, and dogs won't improve his is not coaches shoelace

Benefit we have over the Dogs is we have far less pieces missing imo. Dogs are/were just shit all over the park. A couple of astute signings ala McIness and it'll make a big difference.
