Do we still have one or two top 30 spots available? We may be forced to make a deal if we get a serious injury"

"He will surpise you with his ball playing with other forwards. As I just said a quick short ball at the line while looking to play out the back. He did it very well a few times in NSW Cup last yer,"
"Ye. Well Coinakis did the NRL preseason till December break before returning to JF which is where he will start the year. Ideally he would be our 3rd choice hooker next year as he should progress to NSW cup at some point this year. But we still need…"
"Ha! I sincerely hope that switching Hopgood between prop and hooker is not the back up plan!
We had Lussick and Hands in 2024 so having Smith and Da Silva now maybe feels like we have more depth, but we don't, just better quality players. It was a…"

"I think Ryles is taking last year's slow start into consideration. Our first few rounds seemed like we lacked match fitness. "
"Depends on whether he can own the position and keep up, he's defiently got huge potential

"Its hard for some to focus on the positives mate. I think they all forget that this is only our first trial of 2026 and as per every other year we always field a team full of youngsters and a sprinkle of 1st graders

"yeah thanks guys, I was surprised, i just don't see him ball playing like a walker, Hopgood, DeBellin, etc. That surprised me. Mind you none are as good as Walker at it, from lock."
"Twiddle has more upside being able to play wing, FB and 5/8, so I'd have him on the wings in NSW Cup over Tago. "
"Not a fan at lock, he runs a good line and makes a good mobile prop, but I've never seen him play lock, so who knows?"
"I agree but from my understanding he has only trained at fullback for the past 2 years so not sure if the club are considering to explore his utlity value."
"I feel that people have been so focused on our shortage in the outside backs that they have not realised that our depth at dummy half is arguably even worse."
"C'mon Joash, Bring that energy but show us what you've learned buddy.
My hopes aren't super high and I don't know why, but I really want to see the kid succeed"

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
