If he does re-sign are we going to have the same conversation in 2 years, 3 years, 5 years? If reports are true WB has asked for 1 further year (2 years). What’s the plan then? While I would prefer he took a different role with the club not opposed to re-signing if no better LONG term...

$700k for a winger or untested backrower in a club that couldn’t afford a fullback playing the house down for likely similar cash... can imagine they offered 350... Cows seem far more likely. They’ll have a ton of cash and need a winger while giving pretense of a backrow spot. Mind you cows...

Huge boost if Glenn and TPJ in esp with Klemmer out. But can’t help but hope we’re taking the cautious approach with TPJ not worth risking his season. If TPJ goes down think any small premiership chances go with him. Worry if one injury leads to another sometimes need to let it all settle...

Injury issues. If Glenn and TPJ is gone who plays edge? Can use Offa and Fifita I suppose but very bare on the bench. 8. Lodge 9. Macca (lock after 30) 10. Thaiday 11. Offa 12. Fifita 13. McGuire 14. Turpin 15. Staggs 16. Sims 17. Mago 18. Tagga Not a lot on bench against dogs pack. Not...

He publicly stated wasn’t in his best interests because can get more later... or is he just prepping to take TPJ with him when moves as stated... Bennett’s job is to retain broncos players not pump their next contract. If Haas after 3 games gets an extra 4 years wtf not TPJ who has more motor...

For me proposition is simple. Step 1. Work out coaching system structure. For me that is a figurehead, mentor, department supervisor and guy with gravitas to pull players but still give coach room to do their job on the day to day tactics, team selections etc. Namely WB. Alternatively a...

I don’t mind if he does this a few times a game by running across to opposite open side. Adds extra man and variety but limit it to a couple of times a half max. Isaako will get there and no reason he can’t do a sweep play. Boyd can surely coach him everyday until he gets it. Isaako to be...

Good to get the win and show some grit through 80. Let’s enjoy it. Now that’s 5 backrowers and a bird on long term injury list. Going to need some troops.

Huge half coming up for season. Have to play full 80 to win most likely. Which for me is a fair test. If want to be serious contenders have to put it all together for a whole game not in patches. Boyd has had best game all season at centre. Looks tight in Hammys still but so much better...

Hope they are certain about his neck. Won’t get injury payout for extended deal after the break! But as see it 8. Lodge 10. Offa 11. Sua 12. Gillo 13. TPJ 15. McGuire 16. Haas 17. ?Glenn/Fifita 18. Fifita/Staggs/Carrigan/etc. Avoid second year syndrome and we roll every pack in the...

Huge f* up losing Ponga for Coote. Coote is a poor mans Boyd. Cows are cooked and fair chance of sitting bottom 4 for 5+ years. Outside of JT2 not a lot going for them and need almost full list rebuild over next few years. Need new back 1-5, Martin and Morgan might have their days but...

Touché. Mental block obviously. Good memory!

Warriors together? Reportedly they are tight. Hate to lose them as both good clubmen and offer experience but if things go well both will struggle to be in run on team in 1-2 years and if they are going to get a huge payday have to wish them good luck. If it means keeping Oates on wing and...

Love to blame spell check on this one... Huge f up on me! Walker brothers!

Almost seems he’s already the spiritual leader of the pack. We are a completely different team when he starts. Maybe next year just needs to be made captain. Send him to some law school and debating classes over the summer...

Recruiting talent and retaining is why you have Bennett. It’s always been his key strength and who he has his record. Thus need for him to be football director. But seems he lost his hard edge and is tactically very stale. Doesn’t have to be an insult just reality of where is likely is at...

While I agree with refs pinging us as likely, refs will only penalise so much against one team and aside from sin bins penalties especially in the 20 have not been much of a worry. Even up penalties later are frequently in more valuable position. Problem is by being quick most of the time the...

Wouldn’t wish injury but the injury has already happened. Bloke has a pair of cheap 10 year old spring cables for hammys waiting to snap and take out someone’s eye. Would be nice for him to get a medical retirement for a good payday and so club isn’t handicapped with salary cap.

The question is do we get an effective discount for signing while injured to justify what must be a significant added risk. At end of day have to respond to the market as well. Yes rugby league is a physical sport but you don’t buy a car without a roadworthy cert and a good look under the...

Like the idea but agree what is aim at this time of the year? Love to see quick and consistent play the balls with no tolerance for wrestling. Most damning is why Bennett admits we are WORST in comp at (what is most part legal tactic of) slowing the play the ball and seems to be proud of it...
