I wish we hadn't lost Tom Amone last/this year, I think he would have thrived under Des.
Made the NSW Cup TOTW a few times already this year and made the NSW residence team but I think he will struggle to get a game with the bunnies this year.

Leave your busy little heads be. It will work out. The team is playing like a manly team that means whoever comes in will do the job. The eagles are flying again feathered friends. We have the talent in the juniors and the heart in the turbos. The brains in the captain and coaches and the muscle in the front row. It will work out. Number nine is looking fine.

Like most I love Parker these days but if we need cap space I’d be prepared to let him go and sign Latrell Mitchell in his spot. That should free up enough coin to have a good crack at Ponga when he gets homesick from being away from the northern beaches - even though he’s never lived on the northern beaches.

Don't forget the random 'free of Cap Testimonial' precedent that Chez can enjoy like sCam has as a 1 team player
I still think we need an experienced prop.
AFB's luck with injuries and suspensions means we need to carry another monster.
If Trex ever wanted to realize his potential, 2019 would be a good year to repay Des' faith in him
On his day he can run and pass but his lax attitude was a nightmare to witness 😎
My meaning was that DCE is 30. if he plays until he is 36 like Cronk we will have him for 6 more years ..... thinking of his age only ... not his contract status ....

Two players who will come into the calculation next year will be Schuster and maybe Ben Trbojevic. Its known that Des has been spending some time with young Schuster and you can be sure with a kid with that kind of talent, he'll will be somewhere in the team next year, possibly starting on the bench, but maybe at No 6 later in the year. Ben T. has shown he is quite effective in the forwards and back, possibly another Menzies type. May take him a little longer to force his way into the side but by years end (2020) I think he'll be somewhere.
My only reason would be time ... I am getting old and I am not prepared to wait until Hoppa Jnr, Shuster and Burbo are old enough to give us our next premiership ...
PSS ... and I have a feeling Dessie ain't prepared to sit around and wait for the eggs to hatch either .....

Yeah but ... is Cust a good 5/8 or just a halfback ?? ... I don't know ... but if DCE is here for x more years ..... then whoever is the better foil for him will get the inside running .... Cust, LG, Metcalf or Croker ..?? ... I don't know, just saying the decision may be made considering several factors ...

If he he’s fit to go on for another six years... happy days.
Definitely. He is completely wasted at Newcastle and it's a shame.
It'll be interesting to see what they do with Walker

Thank god we signed him up to that long deal after all.
So many clubs are desperate for a top line half and if he was on a regular deal that ended over this year or next, I believe either the broncos, cowboys, Melbourne, roosters or warriors would put in a massive offer for him.
I think out of those teams, the broncos would’ve been an attraction for him.
I was always glad to have him on that long contract but after the last year or so, seeing the lack of quality halves on the market, I’m so glad we locked him up.

I barely ever agree with you, Ryan. But I do this time. @Woodise if you think we can win a premiership with Parker and Croker in the side you are a complete Muppet. At full strength, even though they are playing well, Parker and Croker are the weak links.
