I'm excited to see how Gamble and nobody goes for them as a halves pairing next year haha

Both those guys have had okay patches of football and I suspect would be decent interest to have them as backup halves but may be on more than backup half money. Don't think there will be much interest if they are much over backup $

Another try for Brooks, or Hastings if he is on outer? Or have someone overseas they are bringing in?
Otherwise options around like Kelly, Madden (if not signed yet) are not really good enough to ditch both your current guys for.

Clifford was looking pretty good at one stage

He's so bad it isn't funny.

I don't mind Clune, just needs the right pairing and team imho. Can play a role

 

[Super Impose]

But Andrew Johns said at the start of the season how great they where and so much ability

Yep -AOB reckoned Joey had worked wonders ….

Would rather Shane Perry.

You know you're **** with a complicated surname when even Burg won't write it, or bother to get your first name right.

Haha whoops.

I think jury is out Jensen imo. He don’t have it.

Hiroti is depth but not first choice depth. Atleast for the Sharks

I meant whether or not we got the better brother.

 

[Great_White_Shark]

Knights trying to offload Clune and Clifford as soon as possible.

Newcastle’s very own Tim Smith & Scott Porter

Actually I think I’d still rather Smith and Porter

 

[BurgoShark]

Yeah Bryden, two years younger and was originally the one we wanted more if memory serves.

Don't quote me on that though been some time.

I think Jesse was always the higher rated one, at least by Manly anyway. I think the Sharks were after Brydon for a while, but during that process Jesse had a falling out with Manly, so both came. Pretty sure Jesse and Nicho were in some Manly teams together.

Q Cup commentators are starting to get pretty vocal about the Titans giving Josh Rogers a look next year. He’s quietly become a really good player since Fogerty left.

rumour are we have signed Iverson Matai from the dogs, a great young prospect

Nicknaming him The Answer RN...

In all seriousness though, very good young player and half, has come through Endeavour and rep teams with Junior Taupau so a combination already exists there.

Unsure of any relation to Steve which I'm sure will be asked eventually.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Any relation to Steve?

 

[stormshark]

Immediate

 

[bort]

Probably gets more mentions in here than he deserves due to being my old teammate but has been building good Q Cup career
Went over for Titans NYC and was in an NRL (I think also Titans) train and trial deal last pre season.

Yeah I saw that somewhere else recently, think on FB?

Does sound like a good prospect but also thought I read he is under contract?
