Probably what the circumstances do is accelerate what was already going to happen, and forced our hand on a few gamble players like Ward.

I guess Martin becomes the de facto "pack leader", but I feel we still need a mature and high quality prop to rotate with Ava, Holroyd and Oledski.

We still have problems across the team but if we can the pack sorted that's the foundation for me. We have halves with some skill now and backs who can finish. Be very interesting to see what happens with T Briscoe after his knee injury.

Agree re the props. Agar believes we’re short on quality there too.

I know the Jai Field link always keeps appearing , will be interesting to see if he makes the Eels side now Moses is injured . Maybe we'll see if he's any good , if he can't make the Eels side now then I would think his NRL chances aren't great .

Hall will end up at toronto, Mcdermott seems to want to recreate the 2018 Rhinos team, not sure that’s the wisest of plans to be honest

I have this sneaky feeling that we could see Ryan Hall back at Leeds. Not actually sure whether it would be a good idea though.

I've been saying this since he left.

He only gets a game when there are injuries, he hasn't scored yet and he has been caught out a few times defensively. I can't see him ever being more than a bit part player in the NRL and that will only get worse as he is already 32.

You could get two good years out of him in SL I reckon.

It would all depend on if he has settled in Oz and wants to stay there for the lifestyle and what his wage demand would be.

I'm not desperate to see the back of Tom B but feel like that has run its course.

Bateman leaving Canberra at the end of the season. Wigan bound probably.

Jai Field starting for Para this week in place of the injured Moses.

Parra have also signed Rankin as back up, so it'll interesting to see if anyone leaves

Big blow to Raiders. He’s been class there. If it’s Canterbury though they are re building well.. if not for Covid we’d have been in a great position to sign him

Is J Field still on the radar with the cost cutting. KS has said a budget hasn't even been set for next season.
