Game changer.
How anyone can use his final year at St George to shut down how good this signing is...absolutely crazy!
Look at the sheer quality surrounding him here compared to who he had in that Dragons side.
For mine, it just adds another layer of strike, calmness and smarts that oppositions...
Probably been said by someone... however signing Hunt in my opinion extends our immediate Premiership window by another year.
Realistically, we aren't winning with a Madden, Rogers or Sexton in the #7 jersey post Reynolds' retirement.
Mam and Walsh aren't ready to dominate without someone...
If he is suspended for the 2025 season, would we get cap relief? Not sure how it works?
Could be an opportunity to sign someone on a 12 month deal (ie. Ben Hunt)
If it is an experience and leadership signing we're after, any merit to looking at Frizell?
He has a player option in his favour and not guaranteed to be in Newcastle.
Would immediately be an improvement to our 2RF depth and allow Riki/Piakura to be rotated and kept fresh. A valuable mentor...
The amount of comments about Madge being a NSW Origin coach is honestly laughable.
That is a school playground argument against him....wake up!
Our focus should be on the Broncos and nothing else matters.
Is he what we need? Yes.
Is it an improved on Kevvie? Yes.
I am a Blues supporter but i'd...
If only these issues arose 4 months ago... we should've made a genuine attempt at signing Isaiah Papali'i and could've used Riki/Piakura as a rotation duo on the other edge.
I don't think the jumping up and down about RCG's salary is that concerning.
For a prop at his age, with a lack of genuine interest from many clubs, we should be getting away with 500k maximum a season.
When you consider Baker is on a reported 300k and will never play first grade for us again...
It's really go time now for us. After a confidence inducing win against the Knights, there are really no excuses anymore at near full-strength.
I think the boys know it too and we will be switched on from the start... especially with a dissapointing run of results at home.
This is our cauldron...
As others have alluded to, this game is our season-defining moment.
We have 9 games left (plus a bye)
We only have to travel outside of Queensland once (against Newcastle).
Our last 3 games are at Suncorp and will have Reynolds back.
It counts for little but on paper, we are better than every...
I've never understood the NRL's rule with only having a 4 man bench.
With the modern game the way it is, so physical and demanding and injuries are more frequent... the 8 substitutions can still remain, but why can't the bench have 6 or 7 people on it?
Not everyone that is on the bench has to...
Part of the signing of Gosiewski is his utility value. Is a plug and play edge forward but has been used through the middle at times during his NRL career.
Also played a bit of centre / five-eighth as a teenager.
I think it is an astute depth signing and with the engines that we currently have...
We are back at the fortress, are full-strength and have all the motivation and revenge that we could ask for.
Roosters are undermanned missing their 3 best forwards in Radley, JWH and Leniu.
There really is no excuse for a loss here.
As a premiership contender I want to see a clinical...
Least amount of disruption as possible. That means every other spine member remains as-is, Jock Madden into #7.
Don't think it is fair to judge him solely based on the Penrith game. Plenty of adversity to deal with and being 30 points down, what were any of us expecting at that point.
Give him...
90 minutes to team lists being released.
I want to see the same 1-17 as last week.
Melbourne definitely have some advantages with rest/freshness and the likely return of their star players. Being realistic, a close loss would do no harm to us psychologically and is probably likely TBH.
If we...
Last night should be seen as inspiration.
Penrith missing Cleary, Fish and Sorensen is very similar to us with Walsh, Haas and Piakura. No excuses or negativity. Next man up mentality and they transitioned seamlessly and beat a better opponent than who we are facing.
If our aim is to be on the...
If this signing is confirmed, then I'm a little scared that both our depth back rowers couldn't get into the Dragons rotation... but for the best balance to our side right now, I'd take experience over a rookie. Just get fully fit and wound up come August and beyond FFS!
Let's all lighten the mood a little! At least we have some key weapons out injured due to return....
It wasn't that long ago that this would've been out best 17 fully fit!
Whilst we are no doubt weaker in the middle of the park without Haas, their starting duo of the aging McLean and JT certainly aren't striking fear into us.
The Cows have used their ball-playing and firepower on the edges to score the majority of their points so far in 2024 but that is where we...
