It's a shame he is so injury-prone.

Who is going to fill Mahoney's shoes? This is our biggest issue and our biggest fail in retention.

Unsure why people think JA can become a ball running forward. Matterson was always a bigger frame with far more power. There would be plenty of guys already that are better runners of the ball. It's odd people think he would overtake them.
His spot is in halves. If he stick to it long enough he will maybe become a solid back up or similar level to a Jeff Robson.
Just don't expect a superstar.

Hodgson. They'll probably try and poach a few young guys also. And high chance give Rein a new contract.

We signed Josh Hodgson.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

We signed Josh Hodgson.

What! When? I hope we didn't overpay.

 

[Parra]

Not inspiring at all.

 

[Parra]

He'll be 33 next year. Hope we have plan B.

Seriously did you miss this news 5 months ago?

Yep.

 

[crocodile]

Inconsiderate bastard. Could at least have waited until after origin.

Cool.

But that wasn't your original question.

Deal is worth $4.2 million over 6 years.

Young Hands seems to be doing a good job in reserve grade. He may be the plan B.

He's actually a very good hooker. We'll see how the aging bones go next year.

Unders. You can't pay too much for that kind of experience and leadership.

I would have paid triple, if I was O'Neill, tbh.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

We have Big Hands and Yates in the lower grades. Definitely some upside to those guys.

Yeah it's a shame Tom turbo in full flight is awesome to watch.

But I was watching Tom off the ball the other night his knee wasn't right.

Behind the play he was limping when he didn't have to exert energy or was needed in the play and even his body language just didn't look right before the injury.
