Higgins is 33 now, she won't be around forever. Shipton is a young player getting picked in rep sides. Going off her resume, she will be a good one two punch with Lahmert moving forward. We'll never know when Lahmert might want to move back home either, she's a young kiwi. The women don't...

Hopefully Roosters don't rest anyone!

Can cop that one, it happens. Have to take punts sometimes with young players in important positions. You never know, you might get the next Harry Grant. The ones that are impossible to understand are deals like McCarthy having player options or Sullivan having a 3-year top 30 contract. These...

Yeah Herbie is a big boy. I think the young Gagai comparison is a good one.

It's definitely being overblown. The squad will be fleshed out by fringe players or local PNG players, they won't be winning a comp in their first year. I'm excited to see them go though, the NRL needs them to be somewhat competitive straight away. Having 30 PNG local players would be a PR...

On a side note, how good to see Ponga challenging the ref. There's always been doubts over his leadership because he's a cruisey guy. He'll never be Cameron Smith, but you can tell how much he wants to win now by getting more vocal with the players and officials. You need to be able to sway the...

I think KPP just had a big contract leftover from the previous recruitment guy and naturally was going to receive a reduced moneyball POS contract from us. Tigers offered a bit more than what we were willing to. So he's probably just now earning his actual market value.

Couldn't imagine they would throw him in like that. We'd probably have to deal with Cant playing big minutes and maybe Diesel getting some time to give him a rest. But hopefully Harry is alright. Crossland has shown no indication of being injured either apart from the murmers going around...

Tom Cant.

Don't disagree, however very frustrating to lose like that with the critical point we are getting to in the comp right now. There's some big games coming up for us, it's not going to get a whole lot easier than tonight. Every 2 points is crucial now, if we're not careful, we could legitimately...

Yep, makes his re-signing a bit more important now. Winter you would have to think is unlikely at this stage to come in and play centre for 20+ NRL games next year. Seve would be another year again behind Winter. POS had bargaining power being able to say look at these two prospects coming...

I've started to think this too recently. As good a player as Grant is, he tries to do too much sometimes I feel, he's a ball hog. Just pass the ball. Makes me appreciate Crossland more. Ponga catches a cold waiting around for Grant and Munster to throw him the ball.

Crouch is a few months older than Mooney, he looked very solid. That's the benefit of plying his trade against men in reserve grade for a few years. Looks like he could step up and put himself in the conversation of being a team regular.

Yeah that's going to be a big end to the season for us. Playing our best football, we can win all those games. Playing the football that we've played in recent weeks we could drop the lot. Here's hoping that the drop off has been a bit of mid season fatigue plus Origin disruption and that now...

I would say the opposite to be honest! Forwards were barely being used for 60 minutes, we kept spreading it trying to run around them. The feeling at least in the part of the stadium where I was sitting was tighten it up and play some AOB ball, start running it up the middle! Not much to take...
