I'm keen to see how he goes. Looks like he has lost a lot of pudd and muscle. Probably close to his early career weight. Will be fun watch in cup if he can recapture some form.

Are we getting Upton back or what? Released by Knights

Lie to yourselves about Billy, not to us.

Same person, ones a nick name. Magpies have signed Floyd Aubrey from union, looks like he has a boatload of talent. Hopefully gets some preseason with the Broncos.

Loving the Trew chat. Expect him to follow the Oates/Bostock path, he'll be a string bean for 2-3 years, until he's not. Then he'll be 100kg+ 200m a game winger. Leota has the same potential, keen to see if Madge can sort his shit hands out.

My 2¢ on Ikin. He saw an upcoming problem, we have a very good hooker and Kev's son who's alright. We re-signed Paix, Mozer and Smoothy pretty close to each other. Billy was last year or early this year. I think someone may have tried to push/force Billy out or at least force the issue. And...

If we lose any of the current crop of highly touted juniors ala Mozer, Black etc in the next 12 months it'll be a travesty. I get the feeling a few managers are taking their kids elsewhere already. There has to be a reason we have no SR depth from our own ranks.

There's a Super Rugby player running around for Souths Logan, Glen Vaihu. Seems pretty talented, don't know if we're linked though. He's with our feeder, young 22-23, outside back. We'll need some backs next year.

Yeah, can't think of anyone who's gone up a gear. Payne n Patty bout the same, everyone else backwards. Willison just got to show what he could do with more game time. Hope he sticks around.

Unfortunately yes. Been waiting for him to kick on...... He and Piakura could just be another preseason away from shining. Size seems to be their issue, need more BEEF. Kobe needs a genuine role though, not just being fucked around.

Positions we need to recruit in to not be shit house. Second row, we need more than 2 NRL level players..... Closer to more than 1. Backs, Cobbo????, Oates?, the rest are all the same shape n size aka smallish, note enough meters. Fullback, decent back up for Walsh with Sailor gone...

There's a player called Glen Vaihu playing for Souths Logan. There's is also a Super Rugby player named Glen Vaihu, wondering if they are one and the same?. Could be a '25 player getting some time in League?. Outside back, has some YouTube highlights. Also we should sign Dylan Walker...

Exactly. It's not like the path is super congested with us either, there's genuine opportunities to be next man up in a few positions. If you're Shibasaki you're behind Riki and Piakura. At cows he's behind 4 blokes, still bounced. Something feels off and there's way too many little things...

Because we had 3 hookers on the books already and have Bukowski coming through. He could be upgraded to a development contract if we had an injury run in the hookers. Same thing we've done with Va'a Semu. He wasn't on a development deal either, until he was and then he was 18th man.

No one did. Even blokes we wanted to keep all bailed, that's what I'm saying there's a 2-3 age gap where the juniors have all "noped" out. This is all lining up with "chicken sandwich" and multiple players coming out saying Walters cant coach. Something stinks.

We're a development club, that's what we're meant to do. Questions also need to be asked why we're missing 2-3 years of development players. We have young players but for some reason there's nothing underneath them. We got 20-21 year olds playing and nothing down to 17-18 year olds. Whats...

Our depth is screwed because we're carrying too many players in positions like hooker Smoothy, Walters, Paix, Mozer and Bukowski. We have Riki and Piakura in 2rf..... And that's it. We've signed some spuds to try cover that up but it's a glaring hole that should have been fixed preseason. We'll...

Get the feeling Mozer will probably be sold off. No one wants Paix, he'll sit on the books chewing up cap. We'll be shopping him around but can guarantee other clubs will be saying "no to Paix, but we'll take Mozer". If people keep calling for Mozer over Billy he'll probably get shifted on so...

Easiest way to not concede penalties is not commit penalties. We can't defend errors and penalties, don't need a penalty merchant out there doing double the damage since we can't catch either. Bench has been aweful too. Injuries and all, but realistically everyone's had injuries. We lost our...

Billy has been good. He's trying to do too much and isn't good enough to do what he thinks he's doing.
