Woah!!!

Wash your mouth out!!

Big Kelvin was not a grub. He was an artist!

Besides. There were no ‘grubs’ back in the good old days. Grubs only exist today because any poohouse players that like niggle, know the chances of retribution are slim.

Back then. If you dished it out you you did in the full knowledge that someone might banjo you straight back in return.

Games gone so soft in comparison. Makes me sad.

Brian McTigue was a centre at first .

As was Ruben Wiki, IIRC. I recall a video of him obliterating Adrian Lam in his NRL days when Wiki was still in the backline.

Perhaps when Hamlin's wages are eventually off the salary cap we could bring a prop in for the rest of the season.
Clark at Cas seems to be on the outer there so he would be the obvious one.

Pay attention at the back there!
We've already signed Mitch Clark for next season, possibly even before.

Bring back Neil Baynes!

I do know we've signed Clark, for 2020 according to the club statement.
Hence my post about him being the obvious one to come earlier if salary space became available.

It seems strange to release Ganson, Forsyth, Joe Brown and now Paisley mid season without a plan behind it. A new addition in the front row would be very welcome and surely possible. Maybe it simply is to save a few quid and let lads leaving at the season end regardless to get fixed up early.

If Tautai rumour (him leaving immediately) is true, as well as Hamlin surely being released once the investigation into his alleged drug taking has finished then we must have some room on the cap at that point.

We really should be trying for Clark early considering the mess we’re in props wise, we ideally could do with another prop as well, don’t know who’s available the current moment but I’m sure they’ll be a decent player in the NRL on the outer
