Good luck to the Tigpies. They're building up nicely. I have a bit of a soft spot for them. Thank feck he didnt land up at every journo's favourite team, the bullflogs. Those same journo's free Friday night booze and schnitzel parmys are now in jeopardy. Gus won't be happy.

Side note. Sullivan's still sitting there waiting to be snapped up.

Some here rate him, majority don’t. Imo another average player that the forum screams about when we lose and he goes on elsewhere and does nothing. Like Richie Williams, Evander Cummins etc..
Might go ok in England..
WT paid crazy dollars to get him and are clearly struggling to find any takers.. like us with Lawrie
No harm in trying ;)

So for some reason Darren Nicholls is the Dragons SG Ball coach next year, anyone know what has happened with Talau and if he is still involved with the club? Maybe he has moved to KOE coach now

He’ll be coaching Jersey flag this year and also help out with the NRL squad. I’ve been told he’s very well respected within the Junior ranks.

C'mon NRL please release the 2024 3rd party total payments by team.
We know its not a level playing field - let all supporters know how uneven it is.
I realize some teams bypass 3rd party payments via brown paper bags and discounted asset purchases but this information is important for supporters of the game to know if the NRL want to maintain integrity.
I have always believed that player managers should organize third-party payments to supplement players' salaries. This third-party payment should follow the player no matter which club he plays for.

Hunt is the domino.

I know they're loaded for experience and in the cap, but it has shocked me that Souths haven't been linked to Hunt. With the age of Walker & Wighton, their premiership window, if it all, is next season in my opinion.

Of all the options for 25, none are ideal, which speaks volumes of the desperation to allow Hunt to leave. Hopefully 2026 is a bit more promising.

Ilias was a 6 coming through the grade if I recall, and JD tried to manufacture him into a half-back. He is a decent player. I think KF will likely play 7, while he wasn't the dominant half with Hunt, he looked a lot better at first receiver than he did second receiver - which wasn't often because they played left and right mostly. The biggest issue is the kicking game. You'd think Cook will be doing a fair bit of early kicking this season.
