Hopefully, in time, there will be an equivalent Rohan effect with the likes of Frawley and Lisone being lured away for balance

Fingers crossed. 

Bit sad about Gannon but I don't blame him.


As before, and seemingly every season since 2017 we need key positions filled with top quality

Two more years for bentley

Perth from 2027, PNG from 2028, now talk of a 20th very soon after that (Jets area of Queensland being mooted). Distinct possibility that that leads to a restructure of the NRL, potentially into conferences. 


Will surely impact on quality of talent that would be prepared to come to SL, or those already here heading back. May also mean more opportunities in the NRL for the better SL players.


Perhaps there's more to NRL interest in SL than meets the eye. 

I wouldn`t be surprised if BA recruits 2 or 3 players from us if and when he returns to the NRL.
Croft, Handley and possibly Oledzki spring to mind.

Pete Smith linking us with an immediate move for Jackson Hastings with Frawley likely to depart, possibly to Huddersfield. 

Talk about kicking a club when they're down. 

Jenkins might go well in the backrow with McDonnell, Bentley and either Watkins or his replacement. 


Minimum we need a proper 7 with a top class kicking game to replace frawley imo and partner Connor if Croft is leaving too.
Sinfield as back up.


I still want a Kylie style prop so one of Jenkins or palasia can go BR and a good centre with Handley moving back to the wing.

 Very worrying for the game over here. 

That?d do very nice indeed. Sounds like there?s certainly something there if Peter Smith reporting it 

If true it would surely be a precursor to a Croft return to the NRL in 2026, but in the meantime it would give us huge depth at halfback, and probably have us playing Hastings (when all fit) in the hooker role.
