Well look at the bright side, maybe Herbie or Perese will get a spot in the 17, and Kennedy for Flegler.

his defense has never been an issue ... so it doesn't really matter who he marks up against ...
the attacking side of his game is another story

Good to see Bird back at training, should be fully fit by the start of next season, 10kg lighter and ready to be our long-term Fullback

Hope so or is he booking a one way ticket back to Sydney?

Why would Glenn have to shift back to the pack to cover Ofa/Flegler? Wouldn't we just bring in Kennedy and Fensom? We still have heaps of fit middle-forwards on our depth chart.

I've liked what I've seen from Kennedy in his limited games. He is no fuss, but you need them type of blokes. He is a very big body also.
I wish he had played against stuffs last week. I'm happy if he gets another shot this week.

I've been relatively happy with him too, though it did strike me as an odd purchase to make mid-season as we didn't and arguably still don't need another young prop.

I'd let him go to be honest. That extra $750k is critical if we have a chance at a proper long term prospect in Ponga :)

I'm going off Ponga a little bit as it sounds like the $1.5m was a serious request from his camp.
I think that kind of money is craziness for anyone and there's also the next TV rights deal to consider. What if the NRL don't get as much as they think they can get and the cap stops rising.
If the cap keeps going up there will be a $1.5m player but in this current cap $1.5m is suicide... and at the moment the NRL administration is not giving me a lot of confidence that they have improved the product since the last TV deal.

So Ikin and Kent just threw Dearden and SOS in the dud bin already lol Said on 360 tonight that we're "incapable" of winning a premiership with any of our current spine players. Said we absolutely must go to market for a proven halfback and of course cited Tallis F1 car analogy.

Because they want us to lose Fifita, it’s as simple as that.

PongDong needs a little humility. Certainly no one at the K-niggits who’ll tell him to pull his head in. Be interesting to see how O’Brien handles that lot

Ponga needs an ego check. I am not convinced at all by him and that milkshake call was a disgrace. For the money he wants he needs to be perfect week in week out both on and off the field.
