Recruitment and retention

Benny is obviously happy with the props on the books already but I'm concerned about Jesse Bromwich. He doesn't even bend the line these days.

Yeah mate both Bromwich's have been disappointing.

Maybe after this year Herman's stocks have gone up too much and Benny has another trick up his sleeve to bring in a big signing they saving $$$ for?

Tino or Haas? He'd have to have changed his tune. I can't remember him saying anything specific but I remember it being widely reported he didn't pay marquee money to props.

Not sure - just hoping we don't lose Herman and still have a huge salary cap deficit next year like this year.

I agree can't see Bennett paying big $$$ for a prop - maybe Fifita though as a strike 2nd rower? Bennett used to love spending on backrowers, particularly his last few years at the Broncos.

I was hoping he'd stay as well. IMO, him and Wallace have been easily the best props. Easily better than their much bigger name counterparts Bromwich x 2 and Nicholls.

Rumour is Warrington are front runners. Don't forget brenko was linked to wigan a month or so back and it's all gone quiet.

The salary cap in SL is about £2m it's like a third of the NRL cap even if he moves he'll be on peanuts. It's Warrington which is a shit hole it'll piss with rain and be barely over 15c at the height of summer. I'm sure he'll love turning out on the boxing day friendly in the fog and rain at barely above freezing playing shit quality footy Infront of 200 inbreds

Don't hold back on Warrington:(. I'm not doubting the info but I haven't seen it. Ese'ese is still under contract for next year, isn't he?

Speaking of the UK, if Wayne is set on playing Hammer in the centres, there is that St Helens fullback who had a blinder in the World Club Challenge.

Putting it that way he'd be mad to move. Surely he would rather stay here and us to pay him around $400k/year? He's probably worth more than that the way he is playing, but for how long?

I know where I'd rather be between living around Redcliffe going fishing in the bay in shorts, compared to living around smelly poms who bath once a week and having to open the fridge door to keep warm haha :)

We also have a fullback having blinders for Redcliffe in the QRL, which is about the standard of the Super League.

When you put it like that, might be an idea to poach another half dozen ESL players.

I wonder why Welsby isn't in the sights of half the clubs in the competition now? One thing against the ESL is that most of the best NRL outside backs are seriously big. Look at the backlines from Origin. Now look at most of the ESL backline imports. Not big at all. How big is Welsby?

Actually we shower daily as it's one of the only ways to warm up
