Hunt will probs take that wing spot

and you just know Mann is going to be 13 with Pryce maybe 14

hope you are wrong. I'll know we are close to the 4 when I dont see Mann or Hunt on the team sheet

Doubt Milf is staying.

 

[Knight Tales]

Toohey says we have money for and are after both Milford and Munster. Hetherington and Elliott look like being here next year. So things are moving fast. Fitzgibbon etc. are filler for next year. Hard to see him being here beyond that. Probably Superleague.

thats what we were hoping for this year too but alas nothing has changed

 

[Sir Galahad]

to get the pommy lads early we could throw in one or two of our nuffies as a swap sweetner.

Fitz for KPP, Crossland or Mann for Pryce. Make it happen!

We have money for both Milf and Munster? Well that's just crazy. Why not bring in Ben Hunt to play hooker so we will basically have the Queensland spine.

We got so much money we gave Elliott close to half a mill a year... Is his manager that f**king Moses fella?

 

[Old dog]

Looking forward to 2023 we have a few players of contract.
Barnett and Lee are gone.
Crosslands - can’t see a reason to retain
Lucas - like what little I have seen so extension likely
Milford - looks good, we should make offer
Momoisea - Don’t think he has shown enough
Musgrove - hasn’t done enough,thanks but no thanks
Purcell - I haven’t seen enough, young, potential, keep
Sasagi - something about him but yet to show it, keep
Saulo - been here a while, has faded, been passed by others
Sue - gave us what he had, passed his best, sorry
Hoy - would consider keeping, Hodgson if fit ok could influence that, has shown some signs but depending on the likes of Milford will we need him, Ponga and Hodgson fit not f/b, Milford signs with Clifford And Clune he isn’t in the halves, walking the tightrope
12 spots, 6-7 not likely wanted or needed, some coming in, Elliott, possibly Hetherington, two Poms and others being linked to us. Still need a few in critical positions, like halve and 2nd row.
We have 16 contracts finishing 2023 with a likely repeat in 2024, 5-9 likely to go, very insecure time

You'd think they'd all be playing better to secure their futures.

 

[Old dog]

Something isnt quite right, need both attitude and ability to make it and quite a few of our signings don’t have the ability.

The writing is on the wall for many of them.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We still need to mostly fill a NSWCup team so im guessing a few of those boys will get lower tier contracts if the ESL doesnt come calling (Sue, Hoy, Musgrove and Saulo)

Id also imagine a few of our Flegg boys might get elevated contracts too (Armstrong, Ryan, Cant, Croker)

 

[Old dog]

We hopefully will fill reserves with some current 1st grade, need to spend wisely And develop the younger locals coming through from Flegg, they are riding high so some talent must exist. The likes of Hodgson, Tuala, Mapapalangi, Lucas, Veaila, Sasagi, Clune, Croker, Randall, Thompson, Johns, Jones and Fitz should be mostly playing reserves and covering injuries or developing.
We need to sign at least a top half and 2nd row keeping in mind Klem and Friz need to be extended even if just for a season or two and most named above are only contracted until end 2023

Croker? Mat Croker? I want him to be in our 17 all the time.

If we get Elliott and Hetherington then you want those three fighting it out for the two spots (assuming Friz stays) in the backrow along with Kai Pearce Paul. There is also the chance Kai plays centre to get up to speed with the NRL in his first year. I actually think the way we are recruiting is pretty smart if not mind blowing.

Mat Croker looks like he can be a star. I don't want his development stunted by two nuffie...

Croker is a prop
