I see Papalii signed on with the raiders until 2024. Was there ever any substance to him wanting back to QLD or just journos talking out there asses? How can they get away with just making up random shit? Surely there must be some professional journalism standard or code of conduct they must adhere too which outlines that shit cannot be plucked from the air and fed to the public?

There was plenty of substance. Papalii said his parents are getting older and his family is in QLD so it's a factor in his decision. He played the media, they followed, Raiders probably paid a bit more because of it, manager and Papalii win.

Chris Garry did tweet that there is more to the story than the Raiders made out fwiw.

Do you reckon there is a chance we could get Moose back? I wonder if Payten wants to keep such a forward heavy squad.

He'd be great for us as a player, only if cowboys chip in though considering he's got a big salary. But it's his personality off the field that needs to be considered from all reports.
He didn't get along with a few players I believe (?).
Then again, who gives a shit what these players like/don't like after some of the efforts they have put in this year. Maybe they'd benefit from his attitude towards them...

No way. He got binned today swearing at a ref when his team already had a penalty. He can stay where he is. We need senior leaders not senior players with poor discipline

Nico Hynes was good this arvo. I could see him as the starting FB for half the teams in the comp atm. Unfortunately we need experience, or at the very least x-factor in that position.

**** it, I'm in. Someone needs to stand up for the cheating pieces of shit, he was getting wrestled to **** on the ground by the Storm players and the ref just dead-eye lets them get away with it. I'd be happy to cop some sin-bins and fines if we actually stand up for ourselves and demand fair treatment.
It's entirely possible the backlash against Moose by the playing ranks was a symptom of entitled rookies who didn't have the balls to stand up for themselves, and that's showing on the field right now. Bring him back and let him bash the rest of our pack in to shape.

You understand why Macca went there though right?
They already have a guy they paid good money to get to the club who broke down with an ACL paving the way for Macca to get a look in. That won’t be the case for 2021 and that makes Macca a fairly expensive backup Dummy Half for the Knights to take on.

Well, should Macca be available for us it won't be a bad thing. Even though he's only serviceable in attack it's our defence in the middle that's poor and he certainly helps out there.

Any chance I can get some thoughts on how much you lads/lasses think Staggs is worth? What would you be willing to re-sign him for?

I'd say market value is around the 600k mark, whether he is worth it is yet to be seen but he is definitely one of the few strike weapons currently at the Broncos.

There are very few gun centres running around and for all his defensive issues, he is definitely one of them, so I imagine that pushes his value up. The problem is that the club still hasn't re-signed him and he is 6 weeks from being on the open market, this is extremely concerning. As mentioned above, our side has very few genuine game breakers as you guys poached one of the three we had. Staggs and TPJ are all that are left.

That's a tough one. The media are talking him up as an Origin candidate, but at the moment he is incredibly raw. Not only is he capable of some awful reads in defence, even in attack he has his fair share of brain explosions and low-percentage gambles. Make no mistake, I want to keep him, and think he'll be elite if he is able to have that coached out of him, but at the moment he is not worth as much as he'll be able to get from a desperate club.
I would say a 2 year $450k deal would be what he's actually worth. Too much of a gamble to risk more money or years IMO.

I wouldn't call him that great. Was nowhere to be seen on the Marsters try (basically just jogging) and missed a pretty easy tackle on holmes when he scored to. Pretty sure Bellamy hooked him from fullback when Holmes scored as Munster was at the back after that.
