Talking more about Premierships. Anyone could stand out in those QLD teams.

I had mail the other day that we were close to signing him, I didn't have any stamps so I couldn't post it, sorry.

Save your stamps for a day or two, not finalised at this stage, ongoing it seems .

Well he came up with a clutch play in the dying minutes of an Origin decider from memory playing in the 9, so that was a win... But, yeah look, I'm not throwing shade on Kenny at all. He's solid and doesn't let you down. But the great coach's don't rest on their laurels. Maybe losing Luai would give Cleary food for thought and have him seeking a point of difference for next season in pursuit of 5 in a row. A threat out of dummy half has what they've been missing since Api left....

Maybe you are right about losing players and evolving. But I don’t see Ben Hunt being a player we need.

Ffs the Sandon Smith incident happened in March. A player in another club farts the wrong way and it’s national news. Not the Roosters though.

Judging from the quote I just added to my post, he might be a replacement for Arthurs (not the bald one). Whatever the case, if it turns out to be true then I fully support this signing.

I'd say this is a replacement for Cini, I don't think Jesse has ever played for us.

Well, the Roosters remain the koalas of the NRL, across many issues.

Same argument

You basically just summed up Mitch Kenny to Penrith that Ben Hunt is to QLD.

You have enough talent around Kenny you could put Joey Lussick or Brendan Hands there and it wouldn't make a difference

Kenny has developed well considering he was bog average. But he isn't in Hunts class.
Only issue with Ben is he turns 35 soon

Don't think Grieg will be any more than project player. Will be gone 2026 imo.

Surely we only bought Greig for companionship for Drown

*Joash

not to be a pedantic merkin. And interesting if true. He's mostly a fullback if I'm not mistaken.
Played in last years u19 SOO with Sanders etc.

here's an article from 12 months ago

“Joash Papalii is a talented kid. He’s featured more at fullback but I see him as having the ability to not play at fullback but at five-eighth or hooker if needed,” Hartigan said.

“He could be a very good utility for us. He’s very skilful, quick off the mark. He was still eligible for SG Ball this year, but when he trained with the NRL side Ciraldo made the decision that he stayed with the NRL, that’s a huge vote of confidence. That’s why he started in reserve grade last year.

I’d like to think if we ever won four premierships in a row I wouldn’t give a fugg if someone correctly thought a 20 Origin and 15 Test veteran was better than Brendan Hands. I’d just scroll on by I reckon…
