Plath signed to train and trial deal CM says 5/8, Hooker and Lock I am happy about this option BW still may stay ( I am happy for him to stay - real competitor), but we are definitely adding some options moving into 23/24 DP

With Smoothy and probably Plath (rumour) signing they are building some good competition. Although I expect BW to be resigned, I would not be that surprised if he was not Smoothy would likely be in front of him and Plath, Mozer and Paix around may be enough to round out the Hooker position...

Or Payne Haas seen carry large brown paper bag from Moore Park Gold Club

Huge Kudos to Palasai when he continued to run with Brunson on that big break - he kept that passage so Nui could tackle Brimson. Sort of thing Haas was doing at about 1/5th of the cost DP

the team has changed from old culture where every man for himself I went no because our team this year is working for each other. Fifita is great in attack, but NFI in defence. You just have to look at Capewell to see what structure, hard work 1%'s etc does for the team. TC, Riki, Piakura...

Are we still paying him - if so and he has walked out, maybe that helps us as well DP

Ezra would be a waste on the bench. For the 20 minutes he would get in the game, far better to keep giving him full games in Reserve Grade. TMM at fullback works for the team, as he plays as an extra 5/8 anyway. I think they will wait until after SOO then bring Ezra in. Although TMM...

if we only have 1 open spot left, I do not think it is a Prop we need. Either a stand out outside back from training or trials, or a significant out of club spine (we can only hope)

It is not as simple as that hopefully Turpin could go down the road to Titans. mozer is coming through and would have a great 2 year apprenticeship under Hodgson although great players, I think you will find we are building to having Mamm and Mozer in 2023

If he wants a available why are we not actually talking to Hodgson??

Phil’s official 17th team

apparently Nene McDonald is on a train and trial basis with us for next year - quite lazy at times but can also be a beast coming out of own half

At least we still have a premiership winning player coming to us next year

Don't be surprised if he is playing elsewhere next year - have a feeling there are at least 1-2 more players on the move this off season

Pangai likely to play in GF

You also need to remember the senior player discount. Glenn is getting it this year. Oates will be getting it next year From what I can see, Oates is the only one that is eligible for this. I think it is $150k - so if this is taken off his overall value then he is a much better value DP

Sua officially signs with St Merge - good news as we did not really need him

I think we are continuing to pay all of this year - likely approx $200k as was already on our books - lessons the impact on next 2 years

I am trying to feel good about win - but this is not the game I follow at the moment - soft - handbags at 50 paces
