It's too early to tell

Would love to be proven wrong. But I just don’t see it.

Probably right but lets give him more than one game back.

 

[Blix]

Hopefully there is zero chance we offer even a one year deal….

Am a bit shocked he hasn’t medically retired given knee, hammy and concussion injuries.

Looks sssuuupppeeerrr slow

Same
I think hes SL bound

Presumably we will, but early signs definitely a concern especially coming off bad form as it was

 

[Sutty]

Thoughts on Matto to replace Nikora on the right edge??

It's kind of like russian roulette with his concussion history. I remember even at the Roosters he was out for months due to post concussion symptoms. Dunno if we need that risk even though he's good.

Matto on one side, Graham on the other. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Capital_Shark]

No to Matto. Will go to highest bidder; only keen on the money. Wriggled outta Chooks then Tigers contracts. Add now concussion issues he'll be after a pay day more than he's worth.

Everyone saying he'll go to highest bidder - i dont see many teams bidding for him.
Dolphins maybe -
But likes of Melb wont pay 'overs'for anyone and cant see any other suiters orher than Tigers who've already been burned by him

True.

Maybe a reason he's not being openly hunted.

Im just of the opinion that hes an extremely talented footballer who would add to our strong pack.
Weve seen that players like Uele have said they want to stay cause of the culture at the team, plus Fitz's pulling power landed us Hynes and Finucane.
We're almost getting to the place where we can say to players 'heres our offer, take it if you want to join a strong team with good culture or leave it and go to a **** team where your gonna be fighting for the spoon'

I agree. Good player.

I think a different character to Uele.

He skipped on the Chooks. I'd say they got good culture.

They collide heads making a tackle together surely

History of being a money chaser though, doubt the fact his career could end any moment from another bad head knock has taken the dollar signs out of his eyes

Rumours Jack Williams to the Storm.

Good move for him

 

[The Punisher]

Good move for him

Even better for us getting rid of 'feet for hands'

 

[bort]

Well, good way to find out whether he is the problem or us.

Not a superstar still but Josh King suddenly is able to play as a very competent NRL player.

 

[D.D]

We would be much better off going for Crichton out of he and Matto. Crichton at the expense of Graham and Nikora. If you put loyalty aside thats an improvement.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Rumours Jack Williams to the Storm.

He’ll probably end up an Origin player if he moves there.

 

[Jaz]

He’ll probably end up an Origin player if he moves there.

Tend to agree. He's a cut above the bit part players they turn into regular first graders.

They could do what we always threatened and turn him into the next Gallen!
