Is the biggest signing in our history going around again next year for the Warriors? Does he still have the required amount of insta followers?
Posted a photo of himself looking ripped so the optimistic fans are expecting a career year

AI still has a bit to learn:

Which Cronulla Sharks NRL players are under most pressure ahead of the 2023 NRL season?

The most pressure is currently on star half backs Shaun Johnson and Chad Townsend. They are both expected to lead the team from the halves and help take Cronulla back to the top of the NRL ladder. Other players under pressure include fullbacks Matt Moylan and Will Kennedy, wingers Sione Katoa and Ronaldo Mulitalo, prop forwards Andrew Fifita and Aaron Woods, locks Scott Sorensen, Wade Graham and Tonie Carroll, five-eighth Matt Ikuvalu and halves pairing Josh Schuster and Braydon Trindall.

EDIT: Although to be fair the default models' training data cuts off in 2021, so they may not have knowledge of current events.
Haha that caveat.
Interesting though, I didn't know the date cut off then... Or is that for the specific search? Maybe try the query for the 2020 season

That was a general caveat for ChatGPT, I assume for any query.

Sharks have a player in their u17's named Nikora Williams.

I hope he makes it to the NRL as a back rower, just to confuse the commentators.

Richard Whalebone is certainly a name.

I was goung to say this, then I saw your edit. It would be interesting to ask the same question to you.com chat which is connected to internet.

Gave you.com a try. Unfortunately, it's connected to the internet...

The players under the most pressure heading into the 2023 NRL season include Jack Wighton of the Canberra Raiders, Cameron Munster of the Melbourne Storm, Ben Hunt and Zac Lomax of the St George Illawarra Dragons [1], Jesse Colquhoun of the Cronulla Sharks and Shaun Johnson of the New Zealand Warriors. All of these players have large roles to play in their respective teams and will have to perform if their teams are to have a successful season.

Going to the Cap battlers ;)

Lewis Murphy 'agrees' deal with NRL powerhouse as Wakefield Trinity brace to lose star

Super League looks set to lose another of its top talents following reports that Wakefield Trinity winger Lewis Murphy has signed an NRL contract. According to the Daily Telegraph, the 20-year-old has 'agreed to terms' on a two-year contract with Sydney Roosters in a deal that will begin ahead of the 2024 season.

Murphy, who is off-contract at the end of the season, was the competition's breakout talent in 2022, scoring 17 tries in 19 Super League appearances for the West Yorkshire club. That included a four-try haul against Super League champions St Helens back in August.

But he now appears set to join the growing list of young players heading down under early in their career. The report states the deal hasn't yet been signed off but that Murphy is expected to sign the deal that will see him arrive at the 15-time Premiers.

Murphy burst onto the scene last season and quickly announced himself as a first-class finisher, helping Wakefield steer away from relegation. It was hoped within the inner sanctums of the West Yorkshire club that they'd be able to retain him, but he now looks set to follow the path of Tom Johnstone out of the club, a year on from his move to Catalans Dragons.

NRL clubs are making a habit of recruiting young English talent, with Dom Young the prime example in recent years. Murphy is set to play a prominent role for Wakefield this year despite the reports, though it appears this year will be his last before taking on a new venture

@Sparkles did you get tickets for our round 2 game v Parra?

I'm looking now, it's $90 for an adult if you want to sit on the side. That's ****ing outrageous.

Yeah. And it was ****ing outrageous. Especially since we've been to a couple of A-League games there and paid $120 for the whole family... in better seats (well, you just got up and moved to any of the numerous empty seats you preferred, but still...).

I'll probably go to that game, one home game and the GF to watch us beat Penrith. Though most of the games are a non-family friendly times anyway so I wouldn't be going in any case. The NRL really want you to watch games at home.

I'll do that if we go. Still, it puts me off.
That is ridiculous.
$90 for me and $70 for my 7 year old to sit on the side between the two try lines. They get get stuffed.

They'll struggle to get decent crowds with the cost of living skyrocketing.

Maybe a read it wrong..but 8.3% of coaches wanted the 7 tackle rule scraped. Weird figure 1.245 of them said flick it… unless they asked assistant coaches as well
