Not quite Standee - its common place for Marquee players to ask for clauses in their contracts that state if they are fit, they start - hence Long starting ahead of Obst when Obst was in a vein of form and Long would have been better starting off the bench.

The decision to agree to that clause is down to the coach and whoever negotiates the contracts.

Are you suggesting we have marguee players who are fit

Not sure why we would go for O'Carroll rather than blood our own props?

Pomeroy is a decent centre, better than Delaney at Leeds i'd say.

With the Titans signing Idris & Champion, Steve Michaels could be a possibility.

That the lad who started at Brisbane, I liked him before he got injured.

Won't be on big money at Titans so I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him for 3/4 cover or a wing position.

Not sure on that as he was a starter for Brisbane when he left and in and around the Queensland set-up plus with the signings of Idris and Myles they could need to offload players.

Gower signed for quins and steve southern signed for wakey . Lauatiti leaving rhinos

O'Carroll has played 20 games in 3 years, including reserves. Would rather have Dowes tbh, at least he can get on the pitch!

Also interesting Wakey - should we be interested ? Good player when he can be d.

no, way past his best, but still better than radders and co.

Too old and too injury prone even for us.

Done 2 deals with players waiting to be announced still think the fool in charge will go at the end of the season,maybe even weekend if we lose again

You seem very well informed. Are you related to The Brother?
