This was an interesting quote I just read from an article after the trial match...

Exactly. Good teams have depth. We can't complain about not having depth and then wanting to get ship off every single bloke that doesn't happen to look like a potential rep player. Not everyone is destined for that. Eventually the young guys will overtake a Jones and Croker, when they're ready...

On low money and year to year contracts I don't mind. They're both approaching 100 games, they are capable of filling in on a week to week basis when needed. Like it's usually the case you have a young guy that's not ready yet for week to week, or you have to sign one of those Jones/Croker...

It's great for PNG to have a side but I would expect that they will run last every year for at least a few years. They'll struggle. But the first time they win a game will be a momentous occasion.

He's also mates with Ciraldo and Seibold I think? So had connections both at Manly and the Dogs.

That's at least 8 years ago. He was a boy then, his body has physically developed much bigger now. I'd doubt he could get back to that sort of a playing weight and maintain it. He's a big boy.

Yeah that'd be a good coup for the Broncos. Feels unfair, they just won the comp, now get one of the young gun halfbacks to replace their retiring premiership winners, Jesse Southwell all over again. They'll set themselves up for a long time with Pezet.

Different organisations though. Different people have different ideas. PVL might ban them, a new CEO in 5 years time might have other ideas.

Just don't throw him to the wolves too early and burn him out completely by his mid 20s like we did with DSaf!

As far as guys who promised big things, there's a few that could be listed. Mullo was a really good player and every year it seemed like he was getting just that bit closer to reaching his potential, only for it all to be cut short by a steroid ban. Sione was the youngest Kangaroo ever and has...

And his brother Toka Likiliki. Ethan Cook, Josh Ailaomai and Chad Redman were juniors we were quite hopeful for at one point.

I read that and good on him for wanting to have a crack. But the absolute disrespect to the Knights halves in that article. 🤣 Basically speculating with our halves situation up in the air and no one able to cement a spot, Stig could be an outside chance to make a return. Like our halves...

Gamble was pretty dog **** to start the year. Remember he put off contract talks to earn a better deal and it looked to backfire because he was putting balls out on the full, got dropped and injured. Miraculously worked out for him in the end though and now he looks to be right in contention for...

Salty his mate got fired.

I can't jump on the Jeffries hate wagon just yet because anything less than a premiership was going to be considered a failure. The reality is, we finished 3rd, still did very well. 3 premierships in a row is a very hard thing to do, bound to lose eventually. Next season is his chance to fix any...

Put a bit of money on the girls today, shockingly considered underdogs today on the betting. Like I could understand the Roosters being slight favourites to win, but we were paying 2 dollars something, too good to pass up. We are much closer than those odds say we are.

Well that's the thing, if he's stays and he's out of favour he's going to tank his career. Unless he backs himself to completely rebrand his image at the club next year, you'd think him, the club and his management will be trying their best to find a suitor here or overseas, work out the finer...

What is Arthur like as a player and what is his history all that? I can admit I've never watched him play but he's getting talked up quite a bit.

Sounds very focused on that premiership. There was definitely a switch that flicked in him a few years ago now where you could tell he wanted to become the best player he could rather than being this cruisey dude who has a lot of things outside of football. He's been steadily getting more and...

I think Edwards would probably get it based off reputation, incumbent Origin fullback and Panthers premiership superstar. But I think if you were trying to genuinely pick the best team Ponga would have to be the choice. He would be at another level playing in a side like the Kangaroos and I...
