Fair play. Be interesting to see how much game time he gets.

He’ll get some time as they’re really struggling. Might be a better fit there. Loads of quick support runners to feed off. Wish him well

They have injuries in the hooking position, so he'll get game time

His statement was really petty IMO

Smith has now had Mellor, Sutcliffe, Prior and Leeming leave whilst under contract.

I saw Hardaker said he thought our salary cap was a mess last year and still is. Makes me wonder if we have had to pay to exit sutty, Prior and now Leeming and that is cutting into the cap for this year.
Never mind getting a fee for leeming, we might in effect still be paying him a chunk of cap

I’ll caveat this by saying I don’t receive financial advice from Zak

I doubt were paying Kruise anything, what bargaining power would he have had? He asked to leave.

Hope you are right but he could have hung around and made life difficult. Smith has clearly fallen out with him.

For 2024, I don’t have any clue who to try and sign from the NRL and whether we can get better that what we have. The only one who must go for me is Fusitua.
He has talent but is too slow and when we gave away the soft try v. Catalan he was stood close by waiting for the next carry and literally stood like a statue when Martin lost the ball and did nothing to stop the try, he looks to me like retirement is beckoning which is sad because I bet he was good when fit 5 or 6 years ago.

Inside information, what on earth are you on about?

I don’t need inside knowledge to have s view on his statement.

Him declaring himself captain on a CC winning side (Gale was captain) then his obvious dig at Smith is as I say petty.
