2023/24 Off Season

[Beavers Headgear]

that sucks for him given he was a late starter, only got what, one season in top grade?

Think 4 total but injury plagued

Half a season after debuting at Parra, 2 at Manly doing his ACL 2 games in then this year

You'd have to think that's sensible business...as much as they love Pap in Melbourne, they're going to be tying up a lot of salary cap on an injury-prone guy...and I have no doubt desperate teams like the Dogs, Tigers etc will jump on him in the hope he can somehow bandage himself together and play seasons through.

Think they know if they don’t get Fa’alogo sorted straight away he will field huge offers from other clubs

Michael Jennings is at the Chooks on a train and trial

What a great season we had. I'm exhausted! I'm signing off on the forum for the summer (from posting, I still read it). Take care, all. Enjoy the footy break.

See you all for round one in March.

And more detail on that? You'd have to think thats his playing career about done now.

Not necessarily
Needs an op then 7 months recovery. For a prop that time off might extend his career by another 12 months

Sounds like his ankle is buggered and needs plenty of work and rehab

Cheers that makes sense. If he can get it right he’s probably got another season or two in him but sounds like 2024 is a write-off.
damn ankles- hurt one of mine snowboarding in winter and it’s still bugging me, ultrasounds showed nothing wrong but its constantly sore and tender.

Benji Marshall going very hard at Jarome Luai, big decision for him going up because he will leave a lot of money on the table if he stays put

And they’re shopping Klemmer around to make space? Not classy…. But someone we could use to replace AFB?

And NZRL pushing Madge out?

Nah, hope not.

Nah, hope not.

Unsure too, but elite middles are rare

noise around Capewell, quality player, but again I see an AFB sized hole…

Can RFM play prop? On the outer at the Dogs. Id rather someone who's a specialist front rower though
