"I would love khan piera from the titans and put lomax back in the centres. In saying that I am very interested in seeing how much Russell keeps slowly improving. He reminds of a Joel reddy"
"Well Simonsson has not had many opportunities this year but from some games Simonsson has been better than Russell."
"I though that too but also that could have been done prior to Ryles announcement. How many times we seen a signing announcement months after reported?"

Sean's had one good game in five years. As the old saying goes: "One swallow does not a summer make..."
He's just always ok or half decent, Bailey probably a better player but it's not a huge difference tbf. Club really does need to find a strike centre
One swallow would make my summer
Cheeky.
Ge has 2 years left.
A swap deal would be good i like Bailey good player nice bloke but that's the business players come and go
Would like to swap him for David Fifita or Marata Niukore
My guess is Ryles has spoken to Bailey re his chances of getting back are limited, especially with the form of Russell. Plus Richie coming through will make it harder. Simmonson spoke to the Titans last week, don't know if other teams are, or have spoken to him, he won't find it hard to find a club, and good luck to him, he's been good for us.
Sean Russell might be a voodoo witch guru!
I like Simonsson, i think he is a quality player. Though the reason i am not to disheartened by the news is a few things. He has played 56 games in 4 years. On average 14 games per year. No where near enough we need for a quality first grader. Secondly, though games being out doesn't help he also has a range of form. 2022 he was awful bar Canberra game (former club), prelim and GF. 2023 he had a poor start on the Wing, once moved to Centre he became our best player on the back end of that season. Then coming into the middle of 2024 he was getting into some nice form before his ACL. This year he had some ok games, then had a shocker v Canberra.
Someone mentioned it before and they are right. Simonsson is good but he has hit his ceiling. He is better than Russell as he has more natural skills and speed. Russell is a worker and one of his best ability at least for some time is availability.
Simonsson signed a 3 year deal, though i felt it was Ryles who gave it the all clear, since he signed after Ryles was announced, perhaps Simonsson was done before Ryles. Therefore Ryles gave it a go and has seen all he needs to see. Simonsson could also have gotten more money and a better opportunity wherever he is to go.
NQ wanted him this year and need backs still. NZ have uncertainty at Centre, RTS might go back to Union and Kosi signed with Souths, could he head back home?
Though Simonsson is a good player, we can definately upgrade. Plus, is it risky to rely on him? Perhaps.
We have Richie Penisini in the lower grades. Is it his opportunity now?
Lookiing in, seems since he was dropped for his poor defensive reads, he hasnt taken it to well. See ya
