Not too surprising since the guys a Sharks supporter.

Watching all these hookers leave for other clubs a year in advance i'm glad we've locked in Brailey. If we waited any longer he could have had a few clubs chasing him.
100%
And I'm pretty sure he WILL go to another level 2022

If the new franchise came in late, all cashed up and still got turned away, I reckon BB was always sticking around as long as we didn’t try to penny pinch his offer.

To be fair, Brailey also just snagged a big contract, so should be on a lot more peoples radars now

Well he never wanted to leave and apparently didn't talk to anyone till we gave him an offer. Nice to see players want to stick around.

Redcliffe apparently came in with a big late offer, but I can’t see him making that move. He still lives at home doesn’t he?

Think he was still living at home last preseason but no idea if now.
He can def afford to move but probably not the worst thing for him to have dad keeping him in line

At the moment Blayke’s locked in to start the season as first choice 9 according to Fitzgibbon.

From Riccio’s interview with Fitz for the DT:

DR: Does Brailey start at hooker, or does Cameron McInnes take over the nine jersey?

CF: “No, Blayke will play nine and Cam can help out there if needed. We want Blayke’s attributes to shine and if he needs a breather from time to time, we’ve got Cameron there and Jayden Berrell also to do that. He’s also been very impressive.”

Thanks mate. Anything else in the interview worth hearing?

Apart from Wade Graham definitely remaining captain, not really. He thinks he’s got a heap of good options for the halves but didnt really indicate which combo he’s leaning towards yet, although he did mention he’s impressed with Moylan. The rest was the usual fluff pieces, Fitzgibbon is trying to fix the defence, Kennedy’s impressive, you know the usual stuff you hear this time of year.

Brailey definitely being the 9 and Wade definitely remaining captain were the only two nuggets of note to take from it.

No surprises there

Glad Tracey's name didn't come up though
Fitz has just recently said he is looking good at centre so I doubt he is getting much (any) time at hooker with Blayke, Berrell and Cam MickEnnis there

I want to see the kid kick long out of dummy half.

I love that play with everyone onside and we have seen him do it .

With the Hynes / Moylan combo looking likely - this play will be more handy than ever ….

Attacked the line tonight. Great to see Fitz is using his running game.

Anyone else find themselves blushing like a giddy schoolgirl when watching this bloke or am I a raging homo?

Could be diabetes.
