ha was about to mention kerrod.

classic example of a player (and there have been a fair few) where you should ignore late season surge in stats where they're in a shit team playing other shit teams in high scoring encounters.

They'll probably just dump Talau and send Garrick to wing. Probably makes the team the strongest

The entire article:

The Brandon Smith saga at the Sydney Roosters is far from over despite players and officials all saying the politically correct things to the media.

Smith was issued with a breach notice by the club for missing a team meeting last week. But that issue is the tip of the iceberg - Roosters officials and players are both fed up with Smith's antics and want him out of the club.

The star hooker hasn't settled into Sydney life - on or off the field - since leaving Melbourne at the start of last season.

The Roosters paid a fortune for his services, but now would be more than happy for another club to take him off their hands.

In theory, I agree 100%. But if that were the case, wouldn't it be logical to be getting Koula used to playing FB now?

In such an irritating season of Fantasy, this Koula thing is probably still the most annoying part of it for me. All green lights seemed ready to go, he misses a week and suddenly the dream is over. It's not even like Hopoate's been that sensational that he has to keep his spot and keep Koula at bay. Don't get me wrong, he's been solid/serviceable, but I thought Koula was first choice FB replacement for a reason.

Anyway, I'm trading him out this week which means he'll be FB next week and for the rest of the season, if you want the inside scoop.

PNG just seems impossible. Lack of funding, infrastructure, security issues etc.

Perth makes most sense, if you’re not going to go for another Brisbane team

On his podcast James Graham asked him about the incident directly, and tbh his story/excuses sounded pretty bs. Blamed his partner for leaving his phone at home cuz she gets mad and that's why he missed all the calls and messages. Then goes on to say he knows ultimately he should have checked the schedule, but he figured bye round would be diferent to a usual week. He did say that it was essentially "strike one" and everyone gets 3 breaches as per warnings in other jobs but yeah. Was laughing it off by the end. Called it a "big misunderstanding". So who knows really. Where there's smoke, there's fire imo

Rumour is that he owes everyone on the team money from pokie borrowing, isn't paying back, and they're getting jack of him in general

Love those. If only u had added 'i enjoy long walks on the beach', this could have been the start of a forum bromance

Even if they manage to make the infrastructure work players will straight up not want to play for PNG

Raiders, Cowboys and Warriors already have trouble attracting talent and they are a much better proposition than living in a compound in PNG.

Would end up a squad made up of NSW/QLD cup journeymen, players too good for super lague but not good enough for NRL (Bevan French, Jai Field types) and money chasers like Matterson. Would be relying heavily on local talent to make up the difference
