It's been a wild ride reading through here.

So apparently Jane is the black sheep of the forum.

Kikau does get fatigued resulting in defensive lapses at times. How "easily" that happens is debatable.

I agree with @herbert henry1908 Crichton taking time isn't the same as the others. It was suppose to be sorted weeks ago but keeps getting pushed back. It feels weird.

@Kilkenny I for one love Mansour, I?would've preferred he retire a Panther and work for the club somehow but life happebs. I do think it's odd it turned into a big deal though when he's a 30 year old winger with a JAC style winger coming for his spot. He had to know or at least understand that Staines is ready to be given a go.

Also it's @betcats own fault for making sense that he gets too many notifications that I liked a post. You so it to yourself really.

Why is it different? All 3 were in SOO camp. All 3 told to have the rest of the year off. If Hooper and co weren't playing Crichton out in public we would be none the wiser

In regards to the prop depth of assuming Zane is going to be released, they will have to be planing something. Without Zane our top 17 will include FIsh, Leota, Leniu and Eisenhuth with no idea who the next prop in line is. They cant go into a season like that, hoping we dont get any injuries in our prop rotation, they will have to do something. Whether that is moving someone, or signing someone or giving a young guy at the club they think can do the job a go I dont know but they have to be planning something, thats why I think we need to wait and see.

Because the others didn't give their word, break it, have blade say it'll be in the next week or two then nothing.

If they are trying to get upgrades for their 2021 contracts that isn’t far off what Crichton is doing. What is the delay with Luai and Yeo being signed? The article from the Australian was from a month ago saying Jerome and Isaah had been offered deals.

Also Blade and Franklin have both said that Critta hasn’t even got an offer from another club and the only reason for that could be he hasn’t spoken to another club. I just don’t see why the delay with Crichton is different to the other two.

That we know of. Crichton is played out in public because some bored journo was stirring up issues for a mate at the Dogs.

Someone in the know also tweeted it would be next year. Due to the SOO not being at Training or that was the plan

Yeo is in Dubbo. Nathan is off doing tik toks the SOO guys weren't coming until Jan 4. The deals will be offical then Crichton and Luai turned up unexpected at training last week

Clubs usually have 5 or 6 specialists props in their top 30's.
Fish, Leota, Leniu, Eisenhuth.
I have Lindsay Smith taking Hetherington's spot. In his case the 6th spot.
That leaves Tetevano or more likely Tetevano’s replacement to come. I would prefer to keep Tetevano but that appears unlikely.
Blade said a month ago the club was on the hunt for another middle.
Added with Tamou gone I would prefer a good experienced bench prop to compliment our middle rotations. I don't know what we can get. Moving on Mansour might be the key.
I expect a bunch of action mid to late January to sort it all out. Including a few re-signings.

Crichton was Origin reserve or something wasn't he? Might account for why no signing has taken place - he might be on leave?

In the extended squad. Like all the Origin players he still would have trained up to the end.

Seems like Franklin has me on the ignore list. Can someone, please, tell me which middle players are being targeted?

If there being targeted how would he know.Club throw many lines out when chasing fringe players .The dynamics change weekly depending on signing of your established stars
