Cam is a masochistic... I image he constantly slaps Fitz on the dome to get a wrestle

 

[BurgoShark]

Caleb Uele didn't actually play last week. I think he was listed but they discovered he was serving a suspension so couldn't play.

From the "others" who played, Gagan is signed by the Jets and the rest are all confirmed as part of the Flegg squad. Wilson also played for the Jets in their trial.

Thanks, I was thinking I missed him but watched the game very closely

Nice one, next is Wilton please

 

[bort]

Katoa has been unofficially announced (media) as 3 years so he is likely 'next'
Wilton and Kennedy both rumoured to be in the works

I wouldnt be in a rush with Kennedy
And if we do, i hope its only a 12 month extension

Yeah we probably do need him for 12 months so we can get Dykes back on the paddock.
If he re-finds his form (we saw some glimpses in the trial) two years at a good price isn't actually a bad shout.

Like with Katoa and 3 years vs Stonestreet if the youngster can jump them in the final year so be it, if they can't we have an extra year with the better player.

I do not think getting Kennedy only for 12 months and then hoping that Dykes will get better and get in form is a good strategy. As you said, I think 2 years is a better deal and then let him and Dykes fight it out.

Remember though we could always sign Kennedy again. He isn't unkeepable after 12 months

I reckon he'll want more than 12 months though.

 

[Proud Shark]

I reckon he'll want more than 12 months though.

Hard to know. He didn't have a great year last year, so he could be looking to back himself for another 2021 style year to land a bigger contract. I do also feel like he'll be after two years though just incase he has some more injury trouble. 2 years is best case for us also.
