As it looks like Hetherington is now our 13 and Carrigan at prop, how many minutes do we think Hetherington will get per game?

Wow, shocked that Shibasaki has beaten Mariner for the centre spot and Gosiewski beat Piakura at backrow, especially with how the 4 played on Sunday. I guess there were clear signs with the team that was named last week. Both Mariner and Piakura are clearly better in attack but must not be as...

I guess the positive is that at least it is injuries in the position we have the most depth.

The most concerning thing about the CM article regarding Mozer's injury is that his manager has already started talking to other teams. Why are we not locking him up for a couple more years? He has clearly showed strong potential for his age and is worth holding onto for a reasonable price and I...

Very weird that Mariner is on the wing over the other two centres.

I was at the game and Madge was pumped up coming out after half time. You could tell he was taking it very seriously. I think the biggest takeaway was the defence. Burleigh didn't look like breaking us. It is one game but it did look like a different club, more serious and a focus on defence...

I have heard on 2 separate podcasts this week of rumours coming out of the club of player unrest. I can't find any stories on it. Has anyone heard anything?

Hearing that Billy has been training a lot at 6 so far this off-season. The information supposedly came directly from Billy. If true, either Madge doesn't see him as a 9, is just filling in until Hunt arrives, or Hunt is going to start the year at 9 and Billy plays 6 until Ezra returns.

Going by the CM article where they have guestimated our salary cap for next year, we should be able to keep both Stagg and Cobbo even though CM is trying to say we won't be able to. Koby H will likely leave, there is c.$250k we will free up replacing him with a minimum wage. Reynolds will...

Ben Hunt's Dragon's contract has been terminated immediately. Hopefully, he is willing to take a pay cut to come back to the Broncos for a fairy tale finish to his career and win a premiership with us.

He doesn't have any experience for a role that this. He didn't cut it as an assistant coach and is just a talking head on Fox or SEN. Also, didn't he come out and say that he was suffering from CTE? Do we want possible cognitive decline running our football department?

This side clearly needs leadership more than anything else and without it we won't get back to last year's highs. If we could get him at a relatively good price than I think we should definitely pick him up. A part from Reynolds, we have no experience or leadership and he will be gone after next...

Even if we don't sack him, we will be without Ezra for at least 6-12 weeks next season. Who is going to be the best replacement within the current squad?

I think this Ezra incident and this year's performance are clear evidence of the fact we don't have strong leaders in this playing group. Anyone who knows Payne, Patty, and Reynolds knows that these guys might have leadership qualities, but they aren't outspoken and direct which is what these...

Yeah, hopefully we can find people to offload. Wasn't there talk that Baker was wanting to go back to Sydney? Also, Hetherington has been told he can look elsewhere right, so hopefully that will be enough to get Welsh and a minimum wager to replace those two.

I think it was best for us to get rid of Kevvie, it was pretty clear he lacked the coaching ability we needed. However, I am of the firm belief that losing Capewell was a much bigger factor than people are giving it credit. I heard it from multiple people and saw it first hand that he set and...

CM is reporting that we can't afford Campbell-Gillard and he will be staying in Sydney. Going by who has said no to him and who already have a set front row, it seems it is down to the Dogs, Manly, Panthers (unlikely), and Tigers.

I would love us to get Welch at the right price. He may not be exactly what we need from a playing perspective but what he brings is leadership and Melbourne's standards which is exactly what we need. It was clear that our standards and work ethic dropped this year with Capewell leaving who...

Another example of bad coaching from Kevie is playing Payne last week. Even if we made the finals, we were never going to do anything with how we have been playing this year and lack of consistency. Now Payne is out for 3-4 months and will have a shortened preseason which supposedly was one of...
