Where does Kiks want to go to ?

With me in the new nrl franchise the mt druitt hoods

If Turbo stays fit I think Manly are a top 4 chance. I like the squad. At $31 to win the title I might throw a few dollars

Turbo won't stay fit, he has a chronic issue and should hung up the boots.

 

[Iamback]

Exten tiny Kenny and Turuva, let cole and Laurie prepare and shoot out over next year to establish themselves as next in line. Extend Tago.

I'd see how much footy Tago misses 1st. Not accepting medical treatment, Doesn't scream long term career to me

 

[Iamback]

That's not how our cap it set up in my opinion. We'll be counting on Jesse McClean to take one of those spots with all our key players locked up. I think we will continuously have very good backs that only play a few years here then get replaced with kids.

Yep. Young kids and rejects that we hope to turn around, To go with our stars is the model

I’ve been reading the posts submitted and beginning to realise that perhaps we could never see an NRL team as good as Penrith 21, 22, and 23. However, Penrith 24 might even have been better again except losing Critter(cometh the man cometh the hour) might impact. I sat in the parking lot surveying Panthers complex and wondered how they couldn’t find a few hundred grand to keep him here.

He wanted to play FB though. and the dogs offered him that aswell as the extra $$

Parra have let a kid walk. Betham Misa. Penrith should pick him up... 20yld forward. I think he has potential.

 

[jane the pain]

Souths won't improve they still dont have a fullback

Comment of the day

Why did they let him walk?

No thanks. He was a Minchinbury Jets junior who along with about 6 others that Parra took from the Penrith Juniors about 7 years ago.

If they let him walk there is a reason .At 20 he should be rising up the ranks

I think 24 will be as good as, if not better than 23. 22 will remain a big step ahead of all of them until I see otherwise.
Critta/Leniu out but Hosking/May is not a drastic step down while we will hopefully have Tago for most of the season, Cleary is hitting his prime, Kenny is constantly improving, Luai has a stack more to give this year, we have better options for that 14/17 this year with Garner/Sommerton/Laurie in the mix. We have some big areas where the team gets a big weaker obviously, but I think we have more where the team should improve to offset them.

Big question is how much can Brisbane improve or can another team take a massive step forward.

Not carrying Luke at 14 would be massive. He offered sweet FA really

Unless he starts the season with a few more kgs he's a waste of cap space.

He was an easy target and lost the middle every game he played last season.

 

[martielang]

Was interesting this year how Salmon and Luke both fell well out of favour in the space of a minute. Neither got another sniff.

Salmon I'd say was because he was leaving. Not to be bitchy, but why better served using someone who was still going to be around longer, That and Cogger was better cover for Luai in the finals.

Soni never got a sniff after Ivan sniffed his finger.

 

[Crashtest]

Ivan doesn’t seem the type to drop a player just because they have signed elsewhere for the following season. He didn’t do it in previous years, so don’t think he wouldn’t started this year.

This year though he seemed to want a player that could also cover hooker, hence Luke, and then Cogger once he showed he could also play there if needed and who also provided half cover as well.

As for Salmon, this year we had Peachey, Garner and Hosking who all offered more impact from the bench in the centre/backrower bench spot.

 

[kinghippo]

I suspect peachy may get the utility spot early as a back up for the new centre, but it will probably shift throughout the season.
We should see a lot more of sommerton , will probably see a bit of Schneider, Laurie and cole.

We have some great options, I doubt Soni gets another chance.

Kurt Capewell on the outer.

Surprising favourite emerges to poach Broncos star

A surprising NRL club has emerged as the favourites to sign premiership-winner Kurt Capewell from the Brisbane Broncos.

www.google.com

Interesting as he was desperate to move back to Brisbane. Not sure how keen he would be to live in NZ. I imagine the Dolphins will have a look. Maybe the Titans but they are have Fifita and Fermor.

We should approach him with a bourbon and pie deal .Would be a good return player

 

[murraymob]

Is Gould becoming a embarrassing person for the dogs another secret meeting in the press.AFB meeting with Gould if they sign him no way are they getting Luia as well.That one less place for him to go
