Club news

For me personally, I think Sipley will be free to look around in Nov seeing he is contracted till the end of 2021.

In terms of front row stocks, he seems to have one of the smaller motors. Not sure the 6 again rule is suited to the impact he provides off the bench.

Saddler is Dev squad and probably falls under the same category.

Which front row should have been dropped to accomodate the above? AFB, Taupau, Keppie, Paseka?

Seems like when one of those props was out, Des was keen on replacing them with a backrow probably to suit the faster 6 again rule change....?
When we dropped out of the race for a finals berth I believe we should have given those untried players in our squad a chance to show if they were worthy of a NRL contract in 2021. Training form is one thing, but the most important thing is performance on the field.

Your right and i really hope des plays 3 trbojevics either this week or next
 
With performance based contracts, you don't just drop senior players to trial a younger player for the sake of it. Lets say if Paseka was dropped just to give Saddler a run then he likely misses out on a match payment or maybe he doesnt play enough consecutive games to activate an option in his favor. It's a sure way to make someone unhappy.
 
One bit of good news today is that the build for the COE will be starting next week. One last look at the northern hill and scoreboard
