    Word is we're going to pick up Harawira-Naera if his registration is approved by the NRL.

    Also talk of Chee-Kam heading to the Dogs which would also be great.

    Yeah Cheeks is a perfect low-budget bench player.

    He's been pretty shit this year, albeit in limited minutes. Don't thnk he fits what Madge is trying to do - if used correctly he can def be a weapon.

    He's not gonna come off every game. But:
    - Can cover backs at an absolute pinch, might be the next best fit outside back at the club atm actually
    - Loves running at tired players late in the game
    - Second row bench players shouldn't be there as relief, they should be there to be dynamic as starting second rowers should be able to cope with 70+, fits Cheeks perfectly (although maybe not in a team with Luciano starting)
    - Costs fuck all

    If you're not carrying two hookers he's an absolutely perfect bench option IMO.

    Dogs copping it massively for signing Cotric on a 650k contract... honestly really good business from them.

    That is IMO the top tier wage for a winger and he is a top tier winner.

    Considering what a rabble they've been they've done well to not sign him on massive overs.

    I think the price is fine if he's actually going to play wing. Hearing some thing about him going there to play centre though which would make it a mistake from them IMO.,

    I don't get why all these wingers want to be centres so much.
    Wingers are arguably more important than centres these days.

    If this cunt has gone from Canberra to Canterbury just so he can play centre, he's off his rocker

    Centres get paid more but do less work. Of course they want to be centres.

    We need the casual fans and dumb recruitment officers to figure out how much more important wingers are than centres in the modern game before players follow the thinking.

    It's not arguable anymore. The new style of game has made centres more valuable, and they are still the least valuable position on the field.

    It's just a mentality brought up from decades of stuff like 'Wingers are blokes that hang around footballers' and all through juniors the spuds got thrown on the wings. Plus on a wing it can feel a bit like the game is dictated to you and is a bit more high pressure with defusing bombs etc.

    It's stupid though, between the aerial stuff and the way some teams use wingers as extra forwards out of trouble, you can basically play as a forward in attack without having to tackle and score a few tries while you're out there ala Mansour.

    Interesting that 2 days after Cotric Canberra look set to sign Curtis Rona. I always liked him and if he’s on a small contract (less than 300k) it’s not the worst outcome imo.

    Also hoping James Hooper is correct about CHN when he says he’s demanded an immediate release from Canterbury so he can join Canberra.

    I really rate CHN from what I've seen of him. Would have loved Penrith to have had him and Kikau on their edges.

    CHN is such a good pick up for the Raiders. Really rate him.

    I would probably play Bateman at lock now if I was Stuart.

    Yeah was talking to Taylor about this yesterday.

    It now means that Tapine is a specialist prop and Bateman is a 70-80 minute lock at the back end of the season, but it still totally works for them.

    LOL. TROLLOLOLOLO.

    SBW close to be confirmed to being signed by Easts. They won the bidding war for him.

    Warriors chasing 29 year old Jack Debelin if he is clears not guilty
    Will offer 800K - St George will offer 700K
    Warriors also chasing E Aitken
    a) because they want him
    b) because he is mates with Jack and they may come as a package.

    Fmd imagine offering someone who hasn't played in 2 years $800k a year when they might have raped someone and were never great in the first place.

    SBW is 34,

    He won't be NRL fit after fucking around for T.O.

    This is poor judgement by Roosters. We went after him as well but for us he would have been a mentor player.
