Yep. Mythology? The correct word should be just myth and it's not a myth, it's an opinion. Many on here, elsewhere and in the media are of the opinion that our middle rotation is light on compared to the top teams. It's not a "mythology" or a mythologicalism" or a "mythtery" if we want to go all the way and not settle for mediocrity.

Still, in Wayne we trust.

Sometimes the surest bet is the exact opposite of what head honchos are saying. Like when a coach says he's got the compete support of the board, you know he's duck soup.

So, Solly saying our middles are sweet and a bloke like Molo about to become available? I say, watch this space.

solly would only be relaying what Wayne has told him he’s a money man not a footy coach

Chances are, Wayne has told him to play the media with a straight bat and give nothing away. 😉

I mean, to say otherwise is to put sh*t on our middles and knock their confidence which is a big no-no so, take Solly's remarks as a bit of a puff piece and with a grain of salt.

More injury news for the @SSFCRABBITOHS which will hurt their depth chart. Talented outside back Haizyn Mellars has suffered a hamstring injury at training with the severity still being determined. @telegraph_sport

I think Solly is trying to hide the truth we all see that is stated in that article (and said many places before too).
Whilst there is definitely skill in our forward pack - we need at least one big, mean - by today's standards - man in the middle.

Wayne is likely keen on snaring Brandon Smith midway through the season and so needs enough cap space left to cover 0.5% or so of his salary which would still be a fair bit. So, with not much to spend left in the cap allowing for that potential eventuality, delaying signing anyone else for as long as possible reduces what we would have to pay them.

Once we click over into Feb, then that's one month's salary less a potential other signing needs to be paid meaning they get 0.75% of the agreed salary for 2025 since a quarter of the nrl year will have elapsed by next weekend. So, if we are to have a surprise addition, I'd reckon it won't be before Saturday at the earliest, if at all.

We definitely need help..

Casey would be an improvement on Milne if he does sign. Would be cheaper and is a proper centre. He faced us twice in 2022 with Milne as his opposite and he beat Milne pointless both times, once to score himself and the 2nd match to set up Averillo. Given the injuries we are still dealing with out wide with AJ, Mellars and now possibly Graham out, we need more depth out wide or we'll be starting the season with no name reggies against a very dangerous Dolphins backline.
