I’m sick of turning games off in the NRL due to blow out scores. It’s been an appalling season so far for me, with a couple of teams just streets ahead

That's true, but Penrith and Melbourne have played some wonderful attacking rugby,which has been a joy to watch. And it seems they;re doing their best to level things up, by chucking the world's best winger to the Bulldogs! Which I still can't get my head round.

£ and he won’t be playing on the wing as he fancies himself as a fullback.

Whoever gets the St George fullback (Dufty?) will have a good season. He will make a massive impact over here.

It won't be us though.

I can't see any realistic half back signings other than Sezer. As has been said, Milford would come with massive risk

For all the talk of strengthening for the season after next I can only see us losing our best players if we do not show that we are serious about this season and next. So far the signings that we are rumoured to have made will not even allow us to tread water. Do not worry though Clubb will soon be back to save us.

The Mole has tweeted "Wigan Warriors looking at a big young Sydney based prop. Stay tuned".

A few Wigan fans thinking Hamlin back, but I wouldn't define him as 'big'.

Hamlin was linked with Trinity a while back.

Watched him in the preseason friendly he played for Cronulla and he had looked to have put on some size during his enforced time away from the game but I agree I wouldn’t describe him as “big”.

Two more shockers this morning

66-0 and currently 44-6

The ultra competitive, ultra defensive line has become a myth this season. Even origin is a one sided contest now.

Bet Luke Thompson is wishing he'd hung on a year and gone to Gold Coast with Holbrook

They've gone too far with the rule changes, but that's the NRL at the moment. More bothered about PR than the actual game on the field.

How old is he now? Still classed as young?
