are brodie and marty being told different things or hearing the same differently ,

with everything that's happened can't fault anyone's effort providing some unexpected moments but the weaknesses in the squad at the start of the season still there and in the management compounded y giving us tb for anther year

Possibly but we being told by 2 different people in fairness.

Wouldnt say squad is that weak. Weve just had too many out and no SL squad could cope really. But we also arent were we need to be either this year.

I 'd rather people did take a chance and share stuff they are told/hear. That's half the fun of coming on here for me. Don't expect people to back it up with names. Good enough for me that a fair percentage of these rumours end up being accurate. Better than waiting to here about it in the evening post. I think we are well stocked for props, and if both Prior and King stay not sure we need any. Maybe they can pick up Scurr from Bradford, but I wouldn't to see us in the NRL market for a prop again.

Partly i do think that yeah but then i also think there is no way anyone from club reads the piffle we all put on here. But it is a balancing act as to what and how you say it. You want us all to get info but you want to also keep getting info in the future and not get caught. The Corey Johnson one may still come back on me.

If Prior stays we don't need two more props. Only light backrowers are Donaldson and O'connor. Gannon will put on some size in the off season as will Walters add Mellor Thompson Smith Bentley that's a pretty decent bunch.

tbh i'm not sure who the all are that are wanting the info and who the us are that are getting it , but the office staff are active on fb groups and one conditioners wife used to post on here , re props we've only tommy as a sub and shouldn't be using king donno or thompson as props need another sub and cover

Agreed. Mik, Prior, Holroyd and King are our out and out props with Tetevano able to do it from 13 as well. So we have 5 with Thompson cover as no. 6.

Some strong stuff from Agar post game where he implied he was disappointed in the efforts from some and some “really poor performers”.

Although we have some very promising young players not all will make it.

King seems more of a back row anyway, he's similar to Thompson IMO
