"For the right price the signing makes sense. Play some middle and be the 3rd string hooker if required. 32 is fine for a forward. If he was 36 I'd be more worried "
"Garrick is going I hear "
Bunnies cop a blow with latrell ruled out, Cody Walker will play but only off bench. Another game we should win and heavily favoured in. Hopefully a good win 😅
"No because he is actually good Haha "

Rest of the playing group probably feels the same way, what a terrible deal that was for the club. Just play out of parramatta from now on thanks 😂
I think it became obvious after the first few years the players hated it. After the novelty of going and playing somewhere new wore off the reality of a very draining, both physically and mentally, slog turned into a negative experience.
We went from having a lot of success their to being flogged every time. Mentally they were no longer turning up.
They also moved it from June/July to April. So from about 40% humidity to 80+% humidity.
That's was to coincide with ANZAC day at times other times made no sense.
Should have kept it in the June/July school holidays. I am guessing that the NT Govt wanted it out of tourist peak season to attract a few more visitors.

One of the worst decisions ever to play up there for 10 years or whatever it was.
The worst decision was agreeing to a 10 year deal. It should have been like Dolphins, 3 years then review it.
What I don't get he seems to have been set on retiring after the Darwin game .. why not retire earlier in the year
I hope who ever set up the long term deal to play in Darwin is no longer at the club. It was crazy and everyone knew it. I am not sure of the stats but i bet the whole circus cost us wins in the following game also, as the heat and flights take a toll on the body.
