Interesting he was in middle when I watched him in wc and bulls and league live describe him as a prop

I just want to know where the money's coming from, yes we've lost 16 players but they can't have been on that much...

I have heard rumours of a silent investor
But we have heard this plenty of times before so who knows

Can see us going for loans for the wingers. As for the money, who knows? Wood certainly isn't saying anything. Why would we have a silent investor?

On the imbalance in the squad I guess you could say we're not done recruiting yet so let's see where we are in January/February. We do seem to be loving the backrow forwards though.

NRL.com lists Appo as a second rower. As does the PNG Hunters section on QRL.COM where he's listed as playing all his matches in 2022 at second row or loose forward. He's not a prop.

I'd imagine Lawrence and Thompson will both play prop for us this year.

Lawrence will definitely. Think the prop situation is worthy of a thread of its own.

Sam Hallas now signed for Hunslet

At this time of year money comes from tickets (club say that’s going ok), sponsors ( not much on that recently) and merchandise (Xmas spend should start soon). An investor suggests something more than a sponsor. We do seem to have a bit more spend than I was expecting. Which is good, I need to add!

Don't know if Roderick Tai will be with us next season, he has been named in the PNG Hunters squad for 2023.
