Yeah i'm not sure he's a Marcus Bai in that regard but BA will know better than anyone how to get the best out of him.

He will make more than fusi just through playing more than 12 games and that's enough for me.

If we can utilise him correctly and he can score like he did in NRL we will alot more of those games we lost by 2-8 points

Interesting how the NRL are now considering giving 7 tackles to the defending team following the kick off if the ball is kicked past the 25 metre line.
This they say will result in shorter kick offs and will eliminate the first carry and collision.
Just shows how Rohan Smith was ahead of his time!

Thought they said no to changing rules?.
How odd.

They've decided against doing it

They’ve decided to kill that rule change because all that would have happened is that each kick off would result in a 7 tackle set. No change to the impact on the first tackle.

If were going to use him as a battering ram out of our own 10, lobbing him diabolical hospital passes every other set while letting our forwards lazily avoid carries then we haven't learned the lessons from previous years and deserve all we get.

Sivo should not be wasted and burning up energy doing that, a few a game maybe but a Ryan Hall bulldozer out of yardage is not what we should be utilising him as, nearer the opponents line targeting the edges / smaller / less mobile wings yes.

Don't think so. Only change I can see that refers to injured players that makes provision for taking them off the cap is for players who miss more than 6 games as a result of foul play.

Brodie Croft back In training today, so we can put that nonsense to bed now.

TNW, new 3 year deal confirmed

That's good,we need to try keep the good young ones around and get them game time

Also good to see Holroyd in the training pictures. Massive year for him personally and massively important to the club that he does well.

Happy with this. At worst he’s a bigger Donaldson. There was that one game back end of last year (I want to say against Catalan) where he was excellent and showed there’s potential to be more than that.

Sounds obvious but I really hope we get abit of luck with injuries this year. Last few years have felt pretty bad, though the crazy bans last season didn't help.

Good resign, not huge not small, mobile fit and seems resilient. Only 21 so could be a real solid Super league prop over the next 2-3 years. He can already step straight into first team rugby and should be cementing starting spot over his contract period. Maybe even push in another level or 2.

Yeah pleased by this news. Though for God's sake I hope we do a better job with continuing to develop him than we have with some in the past. There have been times when I've wondered whether we hand them a contract, pat em on the ars£ and tell them they're world beaters and just leave them to get on with it.

Is it this coming season the rules change around number of minutes played of did I dream that in a Bobby Ewing Stylee?

I thought it was games played. I've really not been paying attention lol

The younger posters won't have a Scooby Doo what you're referring to there Batley

Well we have been a bit of a shower for the past few seasons.

Dream on .

I see Jamie Langley has joined the coaching staff

Interesting move, assistants needed a shake up and BA needs to groom his own successor .

Probably the ebd fir the very poor Chev Walker and grix

Doesn`t seem to be the case as it says Langley`s next assignment is to work with Rhinos head coach Brad Arthur and fellow assistant coach Scott Grix - with Chev Walker in a newly created role as transitional coach, working with players moving from academy and reserves into the first-team squad.

Seems a strange move all round with Langley coaching in Union for a number of years and Grix and Walker not ones you would think bring a right lot to the coaching set up.

Terrell May has signed for Wests that means they need to shift Bateman

Manly can’t take Bateman as don’t have space on the cap - not sure who mentioned we might be in for Bateman a while ago but does feel like that info could play out to be correct
