Apparently NQ aren't re-signing hooker Josh Chudleigh. Won the QCup player of the year award in 2016 in a Mackay team that finished last. Could do worse for a back-up.
Brisbane lack that real hard-edged competitive mongrel. Which was, I gather, part of the reason behind Bird's signing.
Also another reason why Brisbane need to keep Glenn. As good as the young crop is, still need that older head. Fingers crossed Gillett can get back to his best.

General spewing of observations ...
I don't think there's been a more consistent high-level performer than Ofahengaue this season. Milford had some great kicks at crucial times. Kahu ran with more purpose than any game I can remember this year. Boyd was a lot more enthusiastic. Sims will...
During his time in the QCup / Broncos, heard some really good things about Griffin but also that some really didn't like his style.
But Gould / Penrith have made a right mess of this - to a bloke who's taken them from the foot of the ladder to finals, and equal fourth this year with a young...
Keep him as a winger but develop more plays where he can run a backrower's line so he feels like a backrower at times during a game but doesn't have to do the tackling.
ie the run before Lodge's try against the Sharks, and his try off the scrum against Penrith
How is it not a valid thing to ask about? Broader issue is his patchy form, whether he thought he was given a fair shot in Game I, if Kevvie has told him where he wants improvement, where does Milf want improvement. Plus Milf could just dead bat it, as another suggested.
PR disaster is a bit...
With the game on the line we didn't even need that much from Hunt. Just a few grubbers for repeats sets. Enough in the rest of the team to score points.
On that, don't understand why so many playmakers kick the ball dead so often (Milford). Better to have it pull up a metre short of the...
Mixed on Scott. Watched a Cowboys match about a month ago and he looked pretttty slow. Hard to miss a tackle when you're not back in the defensive line to make one.
His experience could be useful. But wouldn't play him for say, more than 15 mins at the start and another really small stint. Too...
Provided everyone comes back from injury a-ok, I reckon this would be tops for the back-end of the season. Think this means Su'a would have to change sides from where he is now..

The backrow (aside from a few errors) was great against the Roosters. Wouldn't be changing.
I like TPJ on an edge, more dangerous and more likely to stick his nose through the line and creating something.
Hate playing Parramatta though. They'll invariably have a patch where they score three...
His fitness is the biggest issue at the minute. Wouldn't cut it in the middle currently, but then his slowness and lack of agility has been exposed out wide.
Tough one. But unless I've missed something, have seen nothing to suggest he's got good dummy half play in him. Ideally, Nikorima would...
