Hopefully some of our young lads see this team, coaching staff and where we are going and are less tempted to move to the NRL and we can have a real go at doing something special and having some sustained success, which we've never achieved in the Super League era.

I have to be honest and say I thought he would be going to the NRL this time around. There's been lots of talk over there about it. Absolutely made up with this. Couldn't have asked for more. Well done all concerned! If he sees out the whole of this contract he'll have done nearly a decade at the club! Who would have guessed that?

Fabulous news.
Radlinski and co are getting the vast majority right at the moment.
I can’t remember since we’ve had this much stability with a squad of this potential.
We just need to get through the next couple of matches hopefully with 2 wins and with returning players we will see us kick on again.
