I think TPJ and Lodge will be starting FR. Seibold said they are the leaders of the pack and will be leading the youth into the future (in my own words. Gillette may get the Lock spot and Ofa could share some time in the middle. The thing that bothers me is where does Su'a fall in the combination and how does the (dual forward roles) work. I dont think there'll be an 80 minute edge role on offer but possibly for someone like Glenn or Defeater could spend 50 on an edge and 15-20 in the middle?

Apparently Graham is on 750k. I could see Bukuya being cheap because he went for the stint to the warriors for a year. Like I am not saying they don't have guys who would hit that mid-level paycheck but certainly guys that aren't breaking the bank.

How d you even remember stuff like that? haha i completely forgot he buggered off over there

Still 8. If macca stays on the field for 80 then there is flexibility for subbing the forwards. But then you've also got Staggs, who I think will get more game time than the Souths utility did last season.

Its probably just bias, but Staggs is a gun. Douhei obviuosly good too, I guess. I think Staggs has a bit more flexibility, a bit like a Tyrone Peachey, where he will break open a game with a bit of brilliance.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't have any idea how the minutes will end up in our pack this season.

Surprised he wasn't on a full contract yet. He wouldn't have been able to start at 9 if he wasn't on a full contract?

Could be signs of the Luke drama being overplayed and Mahoney on the brink of a permanent role in the club

Yeah could read it either way, either Luke is coming and they wanted to secure him, or Luke isn't coming and they needed to confirm his role going forward.
