Titans announced 20 players on train and trial.
Josh Rogers is one of them.

That sounds like a lot. Is that typical? Or a modern way to manage your squad numbers or something?

Seems like clubs are using it more and more. Good way to lock in a player and get a good look at them over the off season.
Keep them if they impress, let them go if they don't. You're not wasting a top 30 spot or too much money

Suk is the brother we want.
There was some suggestions that Eddy had a falling out with Knights hence why he managed to make an injury last the whole season but I guess it was legit continued issue if they are happy to give him a crack
See how Cleary's nutrition regimes affects O'Sullivans development (and skin)

I think it’s pretty normal. I guess it’s just the announcement that is unusual or new. If you think back to Sharks pre-season photos the last couple of years there was probably 15-20 non-NRL players training with the squad up until Xmas.

Right... funny to think there's so many contracted players running around, even if it's just train and trial contracts.
Maybe it is just getting more attention, especially since there's been a few good players come through on t&t's recently

Papali’i’ SMH
Unlike Gutherson, the Eels know there is plenty of interest from rival clubs for Papali’i’s services.
He still has one more year to run on his deal in 2022 worth $200,000. The Eels are willing to bump that up closer to $300,000 next year and have offered him an extension for 2023 and 2024 worth around $425,000 a year.
That offer has since been rejected by his manager, Daniel O’Loughlin, who has fielded strong expressions of interest from the Tigers, who are believed to be willing to spend $600,000 on luring the Kiwi to their club.
There is an argument that Papali’i owes the club for offering him a lifeline and should take unders to repay that faith.
The counterargument suggests that debt was paid in the quality of service the back-rower provided last year at a bargain rate.
