The thing guys like Payne have to figure out and likewise our other young forwards is that if you take that huge deal either here or at another club, it will have a carry on effect. You will be playing with a team of spuds who you need to carry. You will win few games and be consistently at the...

A prop of Paynes calibre is a luxury. Possibly one you don't really need. If like you say you could spread his cost across two or three other quality props. We can obviously perform well without him. Patrick on the other hand is something else and in my opinion a much higher priority. But we...

From history Kev doesn't like starting his two best props if we are thin. He likes to keep somebody out there at all times who can own the middle and currently we have only Jensen and X . Baker ain't up to it unfortunately. I think he doesn't have the gas.

I bet it comes down to how Wayne interacts with his players. He allows things with some and manages them his way. It works for him and not many people can follow that. The guys end up thinking this is what a coach should be or Wayne let me off here but now so and so doesn't have faith that I...

Would anyone consider Cook as a pick up. If he goes on the market?

Wouldn't be surprised if he has been directed to add weight. Plus he has been very physical in defence which I think is being overlooked. I think he has been very solid for us so far.

On a side note does anyone remember when Sailor did a few stints in the middle/2nd row? Playing with headgear LoL.

That's right, he isn't old at all. That's why this transition period is so critical. He could turn himself into a very damaging weapon for us. It all depends on how his body holds up. He has the size to do stints in the middle but his body hasn't been copping the workload and the hits. So my...

It's crazy isn't it. Watching those highlights and realising just how long he has been playing. How many guys he has seen come and go. It made me feel for him more when back in 22 he admitted struggling as he didn't have any mates at the club anymore and he allowed himself to slip as he had no...

You have to love Corey but @Big Del is right. We didn't see a lot from him, despite that he did well with the limited opportunity he had. But what it did show is we have a great club man waiting in the wings who can do a few jobs for us if needed. Personally I want to see him get a stint in the...

and both seem to not be able to handle criticism of any kind. No wonder these guys hate each other, they are the same type of bloke. Everything's an offense to them and they appear to have no real backbone. Communicating with these types of people would be insanity inducing. You never know where...

Like I said in my quoted post- I wanted to see what he looked like in three years. Well it's been two years since that post and I think he isn't as good as touted. His team has gone backwards and like Pies he has allowed the top dogs to go unpunished for their below average form and scapegoated...

The difference is Walsh is elite on the ball and is at least competitive in D. Sailor has some good feet and nice skills but he is not elite.

Sailor is a good player, but doesn't have the speed or defensive ability of the top flight fullbacks. I get what @Wolfie is saying and I would agree. He is perfect for what we need him for and that is it. Fill the gap and do a job. I don't see him in our top 17 in any position currently.

Everyone did exactly what was required of them to win this one. Reynolds needs to play more like this, he looked more relaxed and just played the director role. Pat was outstanding and Jensen had his best outing this year. Baker is finding his feet in the side and needs a few more games to get...

Happy for Oates, as I said after the Rabbitohs game "he should be given the Hancock option". When Hancock was slowing down and didn't want to retire he turned himself into a quality forward sub and extended his career. Oates needs to seize this opportunity and just do the basics right. As...

I actually think this is not a bad option. Hoeter does deserve a shot also. He was great in the trial he captained.

From memory we had Walsh and Reynolds out for one of our panthers games last year and we either just lost or just won it. Can't be bothered looking it up haha

If anyone expects that they are crazy haha. The kid lacks the fitness for any of that from what I have seen. He has put on some quality size and will need time to develop the motor. All I want to see from him is 30-40 quality minutes. Hold the middle and make at least 100m.

This may be a long ball but I would sit Oates down and give him the Hancock option. If Oates could morph into a bench forward he could potentially stay in the team. There is no reason he couldn't give us Twenty plus in the middle. He has the size. If required he could fill in st second row or...
