Having a much better season so far in terms of being largely injury free and making some reasonable impact in games but guess it is still always tempered with that concern at his tendency for some unnecessary ill disciplined play and staying ability .
Club made that call to extend his contract until [ 2026 ? ] and must have had some level of reservation along with some not unreasonable expectation that he could provide some better value for money in the process .
Does not seem that many options say into next season for instance if he is still part of the mix , except for possibly Jake and Tent starting and Bully and a better in form Sips as regular solid back ups and Lodge being able to offer something worthwhile again .
James maybe or apparently doing a bit better at Blacktown recently but no doubt still a way to go to compete at a higher level if he actually is capable of it .
And trying to get another good standard prop from somewhere else
Not sure really if Brown is suited to really big minutes at 13 .
Maybe or hopefully , Navale is not that far off to step up to a higher level as a 13 , looks like Matterson , though a pretty fair footy player will not come into contention .
Probably will just have to accommodate Josh for some time yet and hope that his better side , form and discipline wise can be more of a positive then not
