Please explain? Are you suggesting there could be a last season comeback? I wondered why he wasn't there last night

Not much to explain, Jamie Lyon is training with Jake T as reported in the Herald and he wasn't part of the NRL send off. Just wondering if he has a year left in him and he has second thoughts.

You're living in denial. NBN news wouldn't announce unless it happened, this is Newcastle - they don't leave their fans out in cold. Heaven forbid that the media got it wrong.... btw it takes 2 to 3 weeks for the NRL site to update. The NRL is soooooo efficient! @:smirk:

He hinted he was still involved with the club didn't he? But did we ever find out in what capacity? Still training, Interesting.
9's, bam I think I might have to go in 2017 how much are flights!

The problem we have is that sides like StG have come out and said they are willing to throw HUGE coin at the Turbo bros. Unless they are willing to take unders, it puts us in a tough position to stay competitive. Before this year, I think Cronk was like on 650-700k. Hence why Melb were able to keep the big 3 together so long..if the turbos get say 800 each from '17 onwards (I don't think Jake commands that much but that is what StG are reportingly going to throw at him/1.2 for TT) we will have so much of the cap dedicated to DCE and the Turbos... If we are to get J Bird I assume he will cost 600+ min

If Jake and Tom get a good price say 500k for Jake and 600k for Tom I think they will stay, they love the club. That's the price they are worth IMO ATM cause they are young and to be getting paid 800k in your early 20s is unheard of. Melbourne do it with their team they have 4 players on massive coin. Cronk, Slater, Smith and Bromwich are all near or over 1 million. With us DCE is the only current player getting paid that money. Soon Tom will be aswell but I think we are in a good position cap wise as long as we play smart and one thing BOZO is good at is controlling the cap.

@BOZO I can see what Bozo is trying to achieve in the forwards. It's a formula which has worked for him in the past and provided they don't all play like Myles and Brown it has merit.

But a DWZ or Tupou signing is massive for the club, in so many ways. Not only to Wright the wrongs of being without Hiku and Gutho. It's just needed to win back some faith.

What's he trying to achieve in the forwards?

He wants a big intimidating pack with skill, at least I think that is what he wants based on who has left the club and who we have bought. Taupau, Fonua-Blake, Meehan, J Trbojevic, Lussick, Matagi, Bird, Korosaiu, Parcell are all aggressive players who intimidate.

He has always loved his forwards one way. Hard. Physically and mentally hard. He'd always take Greg Bird over Buhrer. James Graham over absolutely anyone.

Who the hell signed Lewis brown?

Myles at least can take a punch.
