Or maybe they would come back to the NRL far better forwards and tear it up for evidence see

Burgess x3
Graham
Cooper
Hodgson
Soliola
Morley
Gavin Miller etc etc
There is a very long list of Englishmen and Aussies forwards who have come from our league and dominated the NRL. Something about our league improved the forwards.

That's the huge positive. We have won twice and have a lot of improvement to come. They appear a team in an upward improvement. Best thing about all 3 games is the defence. Least points conceded of the teams who have played 3 games.
They have coped well with injuries too. Linnet has bounced from centre to 2nd row each game. The first choice 9 and 1 aren't available.Addy, Lawler, will get better. It all had a lot of potential.
Hauraki, Lawler,Linnet, Drinkwater, Tomkins, Garbutt, have all improved our defence.

Garbo always had it in him to play at a pretty high level. His under 20s career at the Newcastle Knights was very interupted with injuries, but after that he spent a year playing for Newcastle Wests and led them to a premiership with amazing stats for the year. He did so well that a few NRL clubs offered him a contract and he signed with Melbourne for a few years. He couldn't break into the Melbourne side, but he played for their feeder club in the Qld cup and again had amazing stats - so good that Brisbane signed him. He was always knocking on the door of playing NRL, but just signed with 2 sides that had really strong forwards and couldn't find a spot for him. If he'd have signed for Newcastle when he had a chance, he'd probably be a 200 game NRL player about now.

Cheers mate,hope alls good with you.

Good luck in the coming season.

Cheers.
Fun fact - Mitch's father, Big Pete, was the best offloader I've seen - all massive arms and legs and impossible to wrap up. He played for NSW country in the '80's, when that meant something.
