Tend to agree. Think he may only be needed when we're 3 games clear in the round before finals again and choose to rest everyone.

He's in good company with Branko Lee at the tigers

NRL Facebook page posted our top 30. Dunno how to copy it across here. We have 2 free spots plus Ieremia. Plus Leo as well - so by my reckoning we've got a pretty thin squad.

Bradley, KRS, not in top 30. The latter on a development deal most likely.

Seen training pics of both and one is now sadly hurt but there is nothing official on either Seve or Ieremia even being signed this year.

I just find that lazy.

I’ve read we get a cap exemption of about 400k for this season for Welchy retiring, with 3 full time spots still up for grabs do we go to market or promote from within?

Molo from the Dragons could be a good pick up he wants out apparently.

2 spare spots in the top 30. Now Welch gone and Ieremia out for the season we're down to 26. Definitely need to hit the transfer market. Very thin squad.

I hope not Molo, not just because he's a loose canon and his discipline is poor. I also think it would irreparably damage the relationship with the Falcons.
