Locking up McEwen to the end of 2028 gives POS some leverage in negotiations at least, he could be anything by the time he's the same age as Lucas in 5 years.

Considering McEwen has been a second rower all his life and Lucas was a centre that was converted late to it, you’d hope so

Next year he becomes available again, I'd looking at doing a 5 year deal next time.

Pretty sure he is playing at the Dragons for one year.
Croker is our lock anyway

Let’s get those signed we want and need, Lucas for a start and a few others able to negotiate in Nov

Apparently Crokes has been called into the SOO camp, I think for opposed contact???

He should have just stayed here. Suppose the main positive from his return to the roosters was he made SOO, but he could have done that in our jersey too.
I had a few laugh at the time when I suggested him for origin but always thought his utility value was perfect for NSW. The 6 man bench has hurt specialist 14 players now though.

Watson was a terrible player for us till we cut his pay and gave him a one year contract.
He then started working on all his faults, found good form, and signed somewhere else.
Most of his time at the Knights was partying and taking money for nothing - till the gravy train left the station.

Much prefer Croker, he always stuck with this club even with it looked like he will never make it, trained hard, worked harder and got his rewards, Watson left when he could.
I’d take Croker everyday of the week for lock

It says a lot that the Roosters didn’t bother keeping him for that year as insurance for whenever Radley eventually gets concussed or serve a suspension
I thought the worry at him leaving was that he was mates (housemates?) with Ponga for a bit and maybe that’s why Foxsports kept flogging the dead horse about Ponga to the roosters baseless rumours

The media didn’t need an excuse for their dribble about Ponga leaving lol
Radley off contract in November. I cannot see him getting re-signed for anything like what he is on now (reportedly 750 ish k). Watson is much easier to move on.
They have a few young guys moving through to replace Watson and soon Victor imo

Plenty just took money and delivered bugger all. He wasn’t a 5/8 but the club offered him good money to play there initially, he definitely found his position later at back up 9, 13/14 but didn’t think he was that bad.

When he first got here and played those first few games at 5/8 he looked decent. Played a couple of great games at hooker but he has been massively overrated during his career.

Gotta say I was a little surprised that the Roosters wanted him back. They let him go for the right reasons I thought
