Rumours and Stuff

Watched the warrior v raiders game (first neutral game I’ve watched start to finish in years).
It is crazy how they have just given up with the ruck. They don’t call flops at all any more. I counted 23 egregious flops and another 7 50/50 flops.
what about the way the camera cuts away just as they play the ball

Neither he nor Wishart are terribly exciting to me, but I’d give Ryles benefit of doubt knowing more about them.

Players who are off contract (I think) who can improve our squad (I think):
Josh Kerr
Ethan Bullemor
Davvy Moale
Zac Laybutt
Edward Kosi

That said Kerr & Bullemor could definitely be having contract year bumps and the other 3 may or may not be better than what we already have
Definitely bullemor and laybutt

I understand what you're saying but Lewis is different. I've watched English league since the 80's and Lewis does things under pressure like no other. He's the type of player that rises to the occasion. French is another one but I'd way prefer Lewis. Remember George Williams was going really well before home sickness ruined it. It's definitely a tad risky but could pay off big time.
The thing that sucks is the Dodd experiment probably scared NRL clubs off any English players. Never understood Souths buying Dodd. He couldn't even crack into the English team
I'm not saying he wouldn't be great over here, you just don't really know until he is here. Look at someone like our own Brett Delaney, was a bit part here during two decent seasons, did f**k all at the Titans but then was a mainstay in Leeds winning a few championships. Always wanted to see how Danny McGuire or Kevin Sinfield would've gone over here but was never meant to be.
