"In 1981 we had 3 players over 30. O'Reilly was 32, Cronin was 31 and Price was 30. They all played leading rolls in the win, as did Kevin Stevens at 28 and Hilditch at 27. Lets hope some of the current promising youngsters can rise to the occasion…"
"Well i forgot who here said it but the report was he took Tuivaiti under his wing and that is why he stayed. I reckon he is doing the same to Talagi and Brown. They all talk how good Moa is with the Polyneasian boys but Paulo, added with the respect…"
"Yep, I'd much rather Paulo on our side than in the opposition. He had one of his best seasons for many years this year and is still strong and skilful. As you say, I can see Junior in a mentoring role for the younger players."
"Add to that the long list of rookies at the club, many of which were thrown into NRL last season. It's not quite Dad's Army, but the club does need to ensure that we continue to have the right mix of experience and youth."

Chief, we were going but with the markets on you will need to be there early. The rain may make this avg.
I am actually going to the members only session later on this year.
These are both good moves by the club and hope they have another one during the season / bye round.
Hope May Ling in stall 15 has stocked up on Thailand Eels jerseys.
Training updates chief's
The fox, ritchie penasini and Simmonson still arent training with the full squad.
Great comradeship with the team, the fox although doing lighter things was very vocal.
Ritchie Penasini is a monster and athletic 👻. If he can get his body right and get a good chunk of football, he'll be in fg without doubt.
Ryles is very involved in every facet whether in be attack or defence, Ryles is always in there giving players tips.
There's some very quick and fit guys in the lower grades mixing it up with 1st grade , very fast and illusive.
