And this 18 year kid is probably next to no chance to play first grade like most 18 year olds. I'm talking about someone more like Hopgood or Murchie. Both smart pick ups.

but we've already signed them, I'm sure you have a point somewhere

The point is instead of signing blokes who are heading the the geriatric ward we should be targeting some young mobile forwards who aren't getting a run at their current clubs. Our pack needs some youth and line speed.
After seeing a couple of games from Hopgood I think he's going to instil some line speed. Look like he likes the hard contact.

So what's the problem then?
We aren't likely to sign anyone else until next years cap and the CBA are finalised.
People were saying we should be looking at signing someone George Burgess, i said he's an old broken down cripple and we'd be mad at signing him i'd rather chase a young mobile forward. Then Twiz decided to i have no idea what he was going on about young 18 year olds...........

And thats about it.

I wouldn't be bothering with anymore older players or has beens for any recruitment left for 2023.

We have enough experience in the side.

I would be looking for little gems in the world cup plenty of young players looking for opportunities who just need to get themselves into the NRL system and grow from that.

It's embarrassing for a sport that we're 12 days away from the contract commencement date for a season, and no f**ker knows what the salary cap is.

It's absolute amateur hour. Everyone should've known what the cap is for next season, no later than 31 October last year.
