Need to sign a couple of backrowers for sure. I think one needs to be top tier as well.

I wouldn't say no to a front rower either. Maybe a fullback even to cover Walsh as Cobbo is gone and Perham got injured.
Maybe they feel they have enough second row depth with Riki, Piakura, Gosiewski, Willison, Hunt, Tawha, and others including Waqa and Bryce. I think there are some upgrades coming in the squad, which they are planning to accommodate. I think if we get any second rowers or middles they will be cheap and cheerful types.
 
Would we take Fifita back on $500K? The Titans are supposedly willing to pay 500K of his salary for the next 2 years to get him off their books.

Surely that's $500k combined over two years and not $1m total.... that would be insane levels of freight to keep paying.

Tried to do a lot of that off the top of my head - I can't believe I initially buggered up Kevie and Alf!

If we go pre-NRL era, Sterlo was 21 when he won the Eels inaugural premiership.
Cronk’s threepeat doesn’t get talked about enough

Not sure. Just heard Titans were willing to pay 500K and i thought it was per year. We did the same sort of madness with Lodge for a while back when.
 
Did anyone else see the strength leaderboard pop up on Reddit?

Can see why Reece has so much power through the hips and legs 🤯🤯

Karp and Deine both showing up in squats and chin ups... just a set of units across the whole back 3!!
