"Yeah like he was doing before his injury. Quick play the ball while splitting the markers."
"Donahue is highly regarded at the phins, attack and defence, hits harder than Ray Stone and has mongrel in him. Would be a great signing."
"Doesn't need to play massive minutes, just absolutely boss it when he does"
"Thing about Donaghoe at the moment is he is a tweener. Not 100% sure what his best position is. He has played the positions you mentioned but doesn't really excel in any. That is perfect for us as his role is simply that link man and mr.fix it.…"
"Edwards i would say is more a Lock than a Hooker but yeah he is more a tackle machine that can play Hooker if really needed. Nice 18th man option."
"Love the Donoghue shout out. Perfect player for that role. But you are right, we need to get younger and more versitile."
"Hopgood's issue was his timing. When to offload and when to run. By the time Ryles dropped him from Lock to Prop he was just throwing needless offloads when not on. If he can get that timing right he can be an Origin quality player again. He is 28…"
"I wouldn't mind him, but already pretty much confirmed off to Saints for a year then PNG."
"If you listen to the Paul Kent podcast he lays it out perfectly. The Roosters have 2029 already set with their top 30, give or take a 2-3 spots incase someone comes on the market they want. They have the plan of like say Watson is going, this player…"
"I am ok with it. Walker has been good this year, though i reckon Paulo is moving towards that role off the bench next year. Walker is 33 next year, he would be looking for a 2 year plus deal. Do we want to offer him that and risk him declining? I…"
"Not sure Ryles gives him big minutes when returning from 6 weeks off. He is still 21. He will be that 25min impact Prop for now and that is a fair role."
"Yep that is a great shout. He is behind JMK and Plath at the 9 and 13 spot. Would be a great player to replace Walker. He would literally be a cheaper version of C Watson. Can covoer 1/6/9/13"
"Great opportunity for Tuivati to put the team on his back and say let's go. Hopefully he goes up a level "
"Yeah, I would drop 200,000 a season to live near the beach that I go to 3 times a year. Have any of you seen the cost of living lately?
Who can afford to drop a million over 5 years. Telling your grandkids that you played in a grandfather but you…"

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
