Rumours and Stuff

So next week Lane out and Lussick in. Davey onto the left edge. To be honest Lane looked very out of condition and off the pace anyway.

Are we any chance of signing a winger before Tuesday to go with the Lussick signing? I assume he's getting a flight out of Manchester today sometime.

I didn't think it was possible that Waqa could actually be more shit than he was last year. He's now easily the worst player in the NRL on more than $500k

Waqa is on 500-600 K...

I wonder if his money has been spent already
Penrith would never have paid that much. But whatever he’s on, it ends this year so of course it’s not spent already for 2024. However we have made plenty of re-signings at the top of our roster and most of them would be upgrades.

Oh yeah, we're still technically in the 8 until the Rabbitohs take our place next week.

I'd have Manly jumping us too (next week if we lose to Storm) and getting the Sharks' spot in the 8 as they slide out.
If we beat the Storm next week we will technically be in 4th spot (based on wins and losses), no matter what happens in other games in the round.

We only have to beat what's in front of us, and masters of our destiny in reality.

I know lane has had injuries but he’s been average for us. Last night he was outright lazy. Sad to say it, but Davey May be an improvement on lane

He has had a wretched year with injuries I reckon his confidence is down because of it.

He was fine last year.

A broken Jaw can take a while mentally to recover from look at RCG.

Throw in a hamstring and now an Elbow dislocation they are 3 pretty serious injuries for someone to endure in a 5 month period.

Yeah, hopefully he returns next year in the same form he was last year.

Exactly what i said he was, a solid workhorse middle at best. Another poor signing IMO.
You'd hope (and you'd have to think it's the case) that the Tigpies are contributing to his salary. He's probably worth half of his Tigpies salary, which in reality was more than what Matterson is on.

I think he can be handy for 30 mins or so in the middle of the match.

In a different convo last night with some way cooler guys than this place can boast (your presence excluded of course), I made the call that I think, this year, we're seeing the Shaun Lane that has been turfed/shopped from 3 NRL clubs prior to his Parra start.

Injuries aside, he has been awful. Probably worthy of coming back though reserve grade tbf. Although the fear would be Cayless makes him even worse.....
