Oh Tim Smith... pretty hard to put bread on the table for the family when you lose the sponsor of your working visa, and lose your driving licence.

At least he escaped a criminal charge, and I guess he'll be coming home... but to what?

 

[bartman]

Well wingers are back for kicks, so I don't know why we call them wingers? So oldschool. Should be lefy, right, and central fullbacks? Or if the wingers are only back for kicks, they could be left and right halfback? Or quarterbacks?

Or wide receivers? Running backs? You never know, the new lingo might take off...

Will Hopoate’s future uncertain after Parramatta Eels contract expires

Will Hopoate is now officially off contract at Parramatta, with his rich deal expiring at 5pm last Friday.
Hopoate’s contract saga at Parramatta is currently before the courts and his long-term future remains uncertain.
Parramatta officials believed they had reached some sort of compromise with Hopoate — but that’s not the case.
Some at Parramatta have now “gone cold” on Hopoate.

It's more about the Starlight Foundation than merging codes.

I saw them handing out flyers for the game at the GF, at least it's for a good cause.

YOUNG KNIGHT IN DEMAND


Newcastle are at serious risk of losing one of their most promising young talents in NSW Cup ace Kerrod Holland.

The Singleton junior made his way to the Knights last year following standout performances for Cessnock.

This year the attacking specialist has been a revelation for the Knights, playing a major role in their NSW Cup grand final victory last fortnight.

While the Knights have made Holland an offer, foxsports.com.au has discovered that another three NRL clubs have also tabled deals to the 23-year-old.

Holland’s representatives Insight Sport Management confirmed that the 2015 NSW Cup team of the year member has caught the eye of several clubs but revealed he is yet to settle on a decision.

Parramatta, Gold Coast and Melbourne are all in the market for outside backs with roster spots available in their top 25, while several other clubs also have a handful of positions yet to be filled for 2016.

Kerrod Holland appears to be a goalkicker.

So we might go from about zero goalkickers to three.

Jason Moodie was a bloody good pick up.


Nathan Barnes was not.

Jason Moodie was a bloody good pick up.


Nathan Barnes was not.

Barnes was a funny story. A scout had been sent to a Knights game to sign the player in Number 3 jersey who up until that week had been Jamie Ainscough and had been replaced by Barnes due to injury. Said scout signed the player in jersey number three like he had been told. Ainscough went to the Dragons.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Burt was a Newcastle junior wasn't he?
