  • Where's our Xmas present???

    I think we were placed on Santa's NaughtyList in permanent marker

  • Good on him, he's good honest player 

  • Happy for him. He's always been a hard worker and hasn't shirked the tough stuff. The fact he was next man up for all of 2025 is testament to that. 2027 should give us enough time to either identify an external replacement or bring through the likes of Richie Penisini.

  • I don't think Richie will pan out as expected.

  • That a shame thought his game was really starting to go to another level. Hopefully got someone else coming through the ranks 

  • He has been a mediocre backup player for most of his time with us. Showed huge improvements last season but I'm not sure if his improvements were because he was beside the fox, under a new coach, playing centre rather than wing or perhaps he felt secure after 50 games of 1st grade.

    I would have liked him to stay with us but oh well. 

     

  • Well the club obviously knew Russell was gone hence why they went and got Kelly to buy more time for junior development or a better option in FA.If I'm honest we don't have too many answers in the outside back department and we have a startling lack of quality depth across the board.

    • Outside back depth yes , across the board ? Disagree 

      we probably hav one of the better spines in the comp and signed sorted . Forward depth we have heaps of forwards to come on if injuries or suspension (and if we get KK he would be the icing for our pack )

      outside back depth is our weak point only 

    • We have the worst outside backs in the juniors. We should be throwing cash at a premiership winner centre or origin level rep player. It'll help our development of the juniors buying Albert Kelly does fuck all.

  • These Juniors we are pinning our hopes on better be worth it.

"Exactly. Russell will go backwards under Meninga, who only had success when having world class athletes at his disposal at Origin and National levels."
