Controversial opionion, but I think a committed Bateman, especially if the tigs chip in and we get him for 500k or under, would be better for the makeup of our side than Hunt. Bateman is still a great second rower and can play in the middle if needed - pretty much the exact player we need. I'd...

It’ll be the same deal at the rorters - they’ll pair him with Sandon Smith and then move him to hooker when Walker is back because they have no faith in BSmith. In my opinion they’re more likely than us to bullshit him about playing in the halves long term, however.

His last tackle options haven’t improved since he left us. His long range kicking game is a bomb and his short range kicking game is a bomb to a winger (lucky he had lomax this year). He’s a very threatening runner and has a good passing game, but his boot is terrible and he’s an infamous...

Arey. Hunt isn’t, and has never been, a proper, game managing 7. If a club is signing him to fill that role… oh dear

IMO, they’re going to constantly be making changes like this so they have a defence when concussion litigation inevitably hits. We’ll probably see the 10m reduced soon enough (already has been for Penrith and the storm) and players being sent off for any form of high contact With the new kick...

Paraphrasing some of their arguments: ‘IF LENIU GOT 8 WEEKS FOR MEAN WORDS HE SHOULD GET THE SEASON!’ It’s sickening

The media unfortunately have a disproportionate influence on the admins of our game and they’re calling for a 12 month+ suspension. If the nrl meet them half way and give mam 12-14 weeks then that may as well be our season (especially if Arey misses any time) given he’ll probably take a while to...

He’ll probably be gone for the year? Or close enough to it. If the nrl for whatever reason doesn’t give us cap relief we need to sack him (and hopefully renegotiate for 2026) and sign Hunt or our last season with Arey is a write off

Without Hunt our season hinges on Arey staying healthy for the duration of Mam's suspension. Hunt would give us that extra quality at 6 and cover for Arey. We're going to be in severe trouble if Arey cops an injury and we have to rely on a Rogers/ Madden pairing. They're no chance of beating...

To be fair, the dogs are trying to compete with no middle forwards. They wouldn’t have made the 8 last year if Curran copped an injury. Very interesting strategy.

Just don’t understand why the dogs would pay him insane overs (what it would require to get him there over the broncos imo) when they have a very good, young game manager which is beyond rare in the game atm (probably Cleary, Sexton, and ikat are the only halves under 30 that fit the bill). I...

Translation: someone is prepared to back up the money truck

I just don’t get why the dogs or phins want him when they both have young halfbacks whose development Hunt will ruin. Sexton will be out of the team completely if the dogs get him, and there’s a zero percent chance that hunt will take a backseat to ikat at the phins. If I were the dogs I’d be...

JFM out again early. I think we have to accept that he's a windies-esque t20 franchise slogger and nothing more.

Yeah always looks like he gets out trying to move the game forward instead of getting bogged down trying to survive. That's a good sign in my books.

Surely they don't go with Harris. Don't do it selectors.

McInness would be a very good signing. The perfect player to play 9 for 20-25 mins and then rotate to lock for 60ish mins to close out the game.

India’s batting has been abominable against nz

So if SJ kept his leg off the ground that would’ve been a penalty?

Looks sexy, but I dno if Mozer can play 80 (I wish we had someone like Watson who could play 20 mins at hooker and move to the middle when Mozer comes on. Thinking Hetho could possibly do the role, but his service would likely be too bad). Also prefer X on the bench atm, but he ought to be...
