He’s on a development contract so unless we get an injury crisis he can’t play til July in first grade.

Is it official yet, that hw will be there next year? I know he apparently asked for his release.

All Arrow talk has gone quiet as of right now, you guys wanted some form of compensation I heard but apparently Gagai doesn’t wanna come to you guys is a rumour I heard.

We haven’t bought a forward yet and lost 5 so I really hope we get Arrow early and apparently he’s on 700k with us a season not the reported 800k.

Latrell should be a done deal to us sometime next week as well.

I wouldn’t be shocked if one of AJ or Gagai ends up at the Tigers.

What I wanna know is once Latrell is released what do Easts have planned and also what is the hold up re Fifita re-signing in Brisbane I thought that was close to done 4-6 weeks ago!

testing. Just ignore me.

I’m hearing AJ to Tigers in next 48hrs

Happy new year everyone. 
I think I have finally come to terms with the circus that was the 2019 grand final enough to come back and offer some rational discussion now.

@Blindside New software ? Did we stack up ?

The irony that it's the 6th you decide to come back on isn't lost

About 2 hours ago

Hearing some traction about Hamiso Tabiau-Fidow challenging for a spot in the back line at the Cows. Apparently he is blitzing everyone in sprint training and impressing on the paddock. Watch out for him at the nines apparently.

I think the "Predicted" team line-ups are just made up of one persons thoughts on what they think the team will be. Not much homework put behind it. Every year we always gets the cashcows that come out of now where (think 2019 CNK, Sivo). Those players that aren't/weren't anywhere near a predicted team but established themselves as clear starters. I think a few teams this year will produce these cash cows again. Rabbitohs forward pack, Cowboys back line, Sharks pack all have spots to be filled with little depth in their squads.

Nice points

Here a few others:

Storm - Vunivalu is off to union so won’t be on the wing

Knights - I doubt Mann will be picked on the wing. I would think Watson starts over Crossland (although I’ve never seen Crossland play)

Cowboys - Based on the backend of 2019, Wright will start ahead of Hess

Eel - The addition of RCG could possibly push Evans back to the bench

Dragons - I think Lomax will start at fullback, I’m pretty sure he was promised the spot by the club otherwise he would’ve come to tigers.

Tigers - Zane Musgrove will very likely be somewhere in the 17, probably at the expense of Packer or Taylor. Leilua will be starting on the right edge instead of MCK.

Vunivalu is set to leave at the end of this season? Correct?

Bulldogs - Surely Stimson doesn't leave the Storm just to go sit on the bench at the Doggies? He has to be around the starting squad.

MY BOLD PRECTION - Bulldogs to contest for a spot in the top 8.

Anything happen with the move to Canberra mate?

Yeah the Mrs and I went down to check it out. Both loved it, can really see ourselves living there; however, she had also been given an opportunity to work in Youth Justice for the QLD Government up here in Townsville and she loves working with youth and having the chance to help people. Although the opporunity to move was great the mrs has never lived away from her family so that plus the job she had just been given with YJ we decided to stay; but we both said Canberra is somewhere we would like to live in the near future. Everything seemed very close and didn't seem too long to get places. Plus being the capital of Australia you would think it would be at the top of the list for new legislation etc.

They say that Canberra is apparently the only city in Australia that is built for the future.

Any chance of the pitter patter of a young Storm Trooper any time soon? As someone who's immediate family has always been strung across most States, I wish I'd stayed closer in some ways.

That was my understanding!

Happy new year all, hope you all are doing ok in OZ. Sounds terrifying. First story on the news everyday in NZ.

Just thought I'd login to wish everyone well across the ditch and hope everyone is safe. Also, greetings for the New Year and Merry Christmas.

Any fanatics severely affected by the fires?
