Blake and Nene left who’s incoming : Fri Dec 02, 2022 5:29 pm  

Anyone got any names that’s doing the rounds
I’d like Radley

As much as I would love to see Radley I don’t think we would be aable to match his $500000 salary, the PNG winger whose name I can’t recall (Jimmy ???) would be a decent signing

Gutted to see Blake go(if its confirmed), would have loved to see him in SL.

2 big blows. We could have kept Sam Stone. We need a couple of enforcers in the pack and a class outside back otherwise we will be struggling. Will Hardaker last the season or will he have a wobble?

Would have loved to of retained Stone but was resigned to losing him as was assumed he was going to the Storm. What is my biggest fear is Edwin having that much attention his head will be turned , I know he’s contracted but the days of them meaning anything are long gone ,barring a bit of compo

I think it's the thought of wearing a leopard skin shirt that is making them leave haha

Derek is the Alistair Campbell of Rugby League so I’m sure some news will be out soon. As much as the principle of the re Brand has been a success some elements of it have gone down like a lead balloon, just need gather a bit of momentum going into the new year hopefully by the way of new players

I too am sad to see Blake leave ( if true )however we don’t know how long the club has known his intentions. Just because we are only hearing rumours now doesn’t mean it’s only just happened. We have known about Nene to Leeds for months. When we had one over on the quota the club didn’t worry about it, hence what is going on now.

As much as I like Brand we have been in SL with him before, if we are serious about competing and staying up after this rebrand then we need more players, there will never be a better time with other teams weaker and us with a settled core of quality players and full funding. Derek, please roll the dice and spend the cap we need a top drawer winger and 2 quality props, I’m not convinced with Jack Hughes either. Players like Nisbett, Wilde, Brand, Jones aren’t going to be ten anywhere near the team.

Confirmed on Zero Tackle news in Aus that Blake has returned to Aus due to being homesick. May get an NRL contract or if not hang up the boots.
