Rumours and Stuff

*reserve grade

still very impressive

No, his defence record in the NRL is excellent. He’s a defensive specialist, which is why he played centre yesterday.

Cartwright will cost a lot more than those two and will block the pathway for Doorey and Mataele. Moretti was barely good enough for reserve grade prior to this year. It’s good that he’s finally had a big preseason but if other clubs are offering more than we want to pay we shouldn’t match it.

Jock Brazel might pass them all by 2024/2025

I don't think so. Murchie 220k. Bryce would be in about 250k now. I'd guess next contract is about 200k

I’m happy for Hodgson to keep playing the first 30 each week and bring Hands on against a tiring defence.

It’s about defence, which is why Cartwright is still off contract in May.

His defence was great last night, made a few try savers something you could never say about him in the past.

No you are the defence specialist ffs!!

Hodgsons averaged 13mtrs a game running. Pathetic. And no LBAS or TAs since rnd 1.
Garbage

It was his best game for us. He must've picked up a niggling injury. I noticed last night he was limping after five minutes.

Yeah he was limping after 5 mins.

He is three years younger than Moretti as well.

Murchie was 25 with 40 NRL games when we signed him. Cartwright was 26 with over 120 games when he re-signed. You reckon the same recruitment/retention team managed both deals?

Yeah he was.

Yeah he was limping after 5 mins.

Listening to ABC while cutting the grass. Cartwright says he loves the place and sounds like he’s going nowhere. Connor Watson is one of the team and sounds like he’s available. He’d look good on our bench if The Birds are correct about JH.

he used to be a liability in defense, now he's an asset, he played well done good last night

I think Hands is getting more minutes each as he gets fitter, he's a long way from an 80 minute player which is why we need to keep the bald pom for now

That's right. He'd be the same bloke whose signing you weren't impressed with a few years ago? Or a different bloke?

Awesome hearing him speak about how he loves the club and doesn't want to be anywhere else. Great attitude

Yep, I felt we should have signed him when he was off contract at Newcastle. Said as much at the time....
