He’s not being picked and hasn’t looked very good when he has played. He wasn’t much cop for Cas though, unlike Holmes who is very good for them.

Whatever happens I’m not getting concerned over it. I’m gonna enjoy the ride this season with stars like Widdop Inglis and Clark, while we win the treble. It could be another 2 or 4 generations before we get to see a squad like this.
You can all debate about next season. I’ll don’t care too much.

It’s not big or clever to drink on a school night mate...

Duckie has predicted we will win a treble every year I think. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The moment that Duckie admitted to putting money on Dec Patton to win the Man Of Steel award, was the moment that he gave up the right to be taken seriously on here....

i've had a look this morning, theres also someone on there that says they're surprised that we're being linked with him, he's not one our level signings, and has been injury prone/fitness issues up until the start of last season.

On form, yes Jones was better than Currie in that year. Significantly so, and his team got to the Grand Final. Whereas we finished 4th in a two horse race. So yes, based on the impact of each of them in that season, Jones was better than Currie.

Currie has since developed back towards the player we know he can be, and Jones has faltered at two different clubs.

This isn’t necessarily comparable to the Hughes Holmes discussion. Neither have has outstanding seasons, neither have had particularly dreadful seasons, neither have had/had to recuperate from a significant injury and neither have changed clubs on recent years. They have both plodded along in the same team churning out the same performances.

Re: Johnstone, I don’t know what his year looked like in 2019, but it’s safe to assume he missed a large part due to injury. Making his selection for GB unlikely. Grace in 2019 was, in my opinion, unlucky not to tour. He was in the back up squad of I remember correctly. However Handley had an exceptional year and was probably preferred due to his more robust physique.

And Jack Hughes is under contract. My point was we have one of these style players, who is already under scrutiny for his contribution to the team. Would another one add a significant attacking threat to our team?

Of course, Ducky has gone a bit over the top but I do have some sympathy for his basic message. We have to enjoy this season as you never know what is round the corner.

Aside from turning down the offers they must surely be talking to him about extending. If that was going well there would of been some news by now me thinks. But like you said dammed if they do dammed if they don’t, as hard is it for them not lose him they must cash in I guess the good thing is another club is also interested so the fee can only go up.

2022 centres - Peter Matautia and Keenan Brand.

Wow, honestly I can't see how we won't win the lot in 2022! Meanwhile saints will have the best 2 centres in the league IMO if they sign King.

Honestly, I may as well just become a saints fan, in fact the very first saints fan with the correct number of toes, fingers and thumbs if they sign King! I still wouldn't bother with redvee though, like a whole flock of rubber duckies on there!

Although my attempts at guessing scores shows I know nowt, I’m still willing to bet that at least one of those will not be a first choice centre for us next season (fingers and everything else crossed).
