  • Newcastle are setup for life after Ponga.I seriously doubt going foward he'll be there in a season or 2 this allows Sharpe and Lucas to be locked up.Guys like Peter O'Sulivan understand the landscape he knows where there rosters at and will have planned for the mentioned years in advance and will align his cap with that in mind.

    I think he understood that when he went after DB and got his man 2nd time round.Lucas and McEwen look like keepers to me and like mentioned Gagai Frizell and co the writing is on  the wall.Unlike us I think they'll have a plan in place for whatever scenario takes place there not like us reacting to a situation they've already plans in place that's the difference.

    • 100%, Coryn. Well said.

       

    • Could you imagine the place we could be in now if we had that type of nouse and foresight.
