i'd be happy with either Lawrence or Myles. I'm surprised Lawrence is that old, was he one of these late developers? He doesn't seem to have been kicking around the NRL that long to me. People used to say he was the quickest prop in the comp.

There's now talk of Hoffman again as he won't be with NZ warriors next year. I hear he's talking to Hull FC. If Lockers has another season I'm not sure we need him but if Lockers decides he's had enough the Hoffman could be our equivalent of Mark Miniccello in the 2nd row with Faz and Bateman to 13.

Reports that the club has taken up the option on Willie Isa for 2018. Not officialy confirmed yet.

Isa must be retained, he is the 'Mick Cassidy/Ian Potter' of this current squad.
Did anyone else see at the final whistle at Leigh, that it was Willie Isa that made all the players get in a huddle and it was Isa giving the lecture, pointing up at the scoreboard, and showing passion for the cause.

Isa has already had the option on his contract taken up by the club.

I think it's safe to assume with the number of kids we've had to play this year who then count on the cap we won't have any space for a signing. All the players coming back kid of feels like a new signing too.

The Top 25 earners count against the Salary Cap.

Obviously we have to pay everyone their wage.

I imagine we're strapped for cash regardless with the size of the squad we have, but there's no way we have any Salary Cap space left.
