Refs release data this week about number of times teams were offside and it wasn't called etc. I'd like to see that data every week.

I think we have played well given our injuries. We are certainly not a top 4 team at the moment. But this is the best time not to be one. If we can slowly get our key players back we will win a couple of games in a row. If we are all fit come then end of the year we are a chance. Corey Parkers...

Luai going to Tigers, Crichton going to Bulldogs, Flegler and Farnworth going to Dolphins. Plenty of examples of players going from top teams to lower teams of the last couple of seasons. This one is like for like and doesn't strengthen or if so only slightly.

Yeah. We should enjoy it while we have them for sure

I think we lose Staggs and Willison. Staggs because Roosters will need to replace Manu and Suaalii. Willison because of the lack of prop depth. Bulldogs, Melbourne or Dragons will pay bigger money for him compared to what we can offer under our cap. Not that we won't be able to afford them more...

Sure. Just made a few more than usual the last couple of weeks.

I think we lose them. We can't compete with what they will be offered. Te Kura doesnt look like he can play big minutes yet so that may mean we keep him a bit longer. Willison is too good for one of the teams you mentioned not to snap him up on bigger money. I think we will lose on of Cobbo or...

Yeah. He either transitions to bench forward or he goes. Arthars has been pretty ordinary the last couple of weeks too. Bombed try against Melbourne and a few dropped balls. I'd love to see the stats but it seems we are one of the worst teams for defusing bombs with oates Arthars and Cobbo...

I figure we lose both Te Kura and Williston once we develop them Like Flegler, Coates, Farnworth,Palasia and the many others. Enjoy it for a year or two I guess. We need a better version of Baker and second rower long term. Taupau has to replace baker atm

Yes. I won't fully embrace the BBL unless the best Australian players are playing in it for the whole toyrnament. There is a big difference between BBL standard and international T20 standard. The summer schedule is terrible. Big gap of international cricket between NY test and the next one is...

Hope he recovers well and manages to have a career that doesn't put his health at risk or if he can't play a life that doesn't limit his function .

Not too different from Qld/NSW cup and First Grade.

I agree. I also don't think shield averages are the gold standard for selection either. I would expect guys like Bancroft or Harris who are 30 and have played at test level to have a good shield average. Their average should be better than a younger player on the way up learning their craft. I...

Whoops. Sorry. Maybe I should go into rugby league journalism with that strike rate. A pity. I thought he had potential.

I see that the Burleigh Bears have Ethan O'Neill (Julian's son) and Shalom O'Ofou. These may be some decent second row backup options. O'Neill played pretty well for South's NSW cup last year. Not sure about O'Ofou. He was good in the trials but not sure what happened. Maybe he got injured

I meant replace him in the squad by getting another second rower rather than making do with what we have in that position. I acknowledge it will be a downgrade and he has a unique skillset. Let's see how they replace him if he goes.

We will have replace him with a cheaper option. Hosking would be great. Someone will come up. A seasoned second rower is all we need not a world beater.Not ideal he leaves this year but probably the right decision to let him go

I think it's a stupid idea. The only way it would work is if we were to sign them centrally and assign them to struggling clubs with a notional value but I don't even think this would work. Happy if players go to Union for insane money or desire to play rugby. I don't think we should be looking...

I'd be interested in Wiremu Greig who is still unsigned by the eels but that may change

Biggest issue for me is their non wada drug testing in American Football.
