What???

How can you afford that at 14?

Oh and my family, I can't afford a bloody pair of thongs alone! Wouldn't be as good a trip as it was if I were the one payin it 😉

AGree about the dogs... expect south side to be crap also. Dunno about roosters but can't see them doing much. WARRiors pack is too old and slow. Sharks will slide but not too much. Us to finish about 8-9.

Yeah, sounds about right, and unfortunately Barrett will call that a successful year.
No culture ladies....

Green is a great signing, if he plays to his capabilities and DCE is 100% fit we are already a mile ahead of where we were last season

Don't really get all the Uate hate, obviously the Knights wanted to get rid of him because of the ridiculous coin he was on. While he form may not have been what it was, he is still a former multiple time winger of the year and we have him on the cheap. Knows his way to the line and runs the ball strongly out of our own end which is something we need

This time last season Hastings was rated high enough that Maloney wasn't seen as a loss on Rooster land, kid has ability which hopefully we can bring out

Other signings all have potential very good upsides as well. Think back to this time last year and what the concensus was on Lussick coming back, and look how that turned out, Sironen and co have that inside them as well and if only 2 of them actually achieve it then we will be in a good spot

The potential is there, Lussick, Taupau, Jake will lay a fairly good platform most weeks, Green and DCE both have the ability to create off that and Tom, Taufua, Walker and Uate are all proven finishers when given an opportunity

The big word is potential, doesn't always get lived up too, and there are a lot of variables that can derail a season instantly to confidently predict where any team will drop in. Personally I see us somewhere in the middle 8 and in the scrap

Add on Walker playing/training at centre (where he made the Aussie side from) and you have a much better centre than last year (Lyon, Matai, Wright, TT, Walker, Brown and the ball boy).

TT as number 1 fullback at training and a years more experience as well(and on 2 legs this year).

That is 3 of our back 7 that is a huge improvement on last year and there are the points we were lacking in some of those tight games eg Parra.
