"I think Lane will retire. Tago is on a dev deal for next year still. Dunster won't be resigned I recon, same with Keir. Probably stuck with Matto though."
"Yeah, totally agree about losing the 'deadwood' so to speak. I was thinking "here we go again" with the guys comments about players moving on due to no opportunities. No re-signing of the blokes just taking up a spot if their contract ends. Tell the…"
"What St. George connection? Nathan Brown coached him fair but that's it. De Belin has no link to either Ryles or Brown. Lomax was signed before Ryles."
"So that means we have 29 spots filled for next year. That includes Lane, Matto & Hands who are on the outer.
I believe Lane will retire and will be announced soon meaning we have 28 spots filled for 2026
I think we will sign one more person for next…"

I think the stats show why he is suited to the middle rather than the edge. His a defensive forward. But zero impact in attack on the edge. He really needs more time in the gym to strengthen up. His runs make minimal meters.
Yeah he's a workhorse middle for sure, no real threat on the edge. Williams and Hopgood you could possibly use on the edges and start Charlie in the middle ?
Yeah I thought he was going to move Williams to the edge. Once Moretti is back you could have him and Junior rotating. I think with both Kelma and Kitione out you have to move Williams to the edge, possibly even Hopgood if he is going to find Brown a spot rotating with Walker.
I'm even fine with Samrani on the edge, at least he has some go. But let's see what this week brings. Tuaviti looked great as well 🫡
Next week
1: I Longi
2: Z Lomax
3: B Simonson
4: S Russell
5: J Addo Carr
6: J Papali
7: M Moses ( hoping he's back
8: Jr Paulo
9: R Smith
10: C Guymer ( better up front for 20 mins )
11: J Williams
12: J Samarani
13: D Brown ( he needs to run )
14: T Da Silva
15: D Walker
16: J Hopgood ( play in front row )
17: S Tuivita
18th D Hawkins
Kautoga won't play
Pretty close but doubt they risk Moses in cold ass Canberra. Could see Moretti back but. I'd start Walker over brown but both play same role and alternate.
I also didn't think doorey was to bad in his run, could use him on the edge if need. He plays with a lot of effort
I was not impressed with Samrani defence in NSW Cup over the weekend. I too would play Doorey over him. While I do not like Guymer on the edge I think he and Williams have to play there next week with Kautoga & Tuilagi both unavailable
Moses is out for another week JR confirmed.
No way Samrani is starting ahead of Hopgood
I drop Brown all together have Hopgood lock
