Simply the reason why is because we aren't the only team improving. From the bottom 4 last year, Titans & Dragons got new coaches and Bulldogs got a great leader in Crichton and a few decent squad buys. Edit: Dolphins who were the next lowest also signed Herbie & Flegler we are ahead of that...

Makes sense, I was thinking either Penrith or Rabbitohs.

Get ready to see our exact backline vs Broncos & Panthers.

So you're saying you think 2 of them will make the step up next year? Good thing I posted to only get rid of 1 of the 3, I also made it clear I think Matamua is the one the miss out so seems we are on the same page.

That's what the exact problem is KC, they all are young in a roll that would ideally be filled by an 80 minute player. We can also only run with 1 of them at a time regardless, there aren't enough roster spots to carry 3 inexperienced players in the exact same position.

Yes but keep in mind we had statistically the 2nd hardest start to the comp this year. To start the comp last year we played Titans, Knights with KP injured in the first minute, Bulldogs, Storm, Broncos, Eels, Manly, Penrith in horrible conditions & Dragons. (1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16)...

I will say our defence has improved. 22 - 23 we had a record of the worse defence in NRL history. Think it was 26 + points in around 20 straight games. Think we have conceded that only once this season.

800k min, probably 850k - 900k to come to us.

We have to make signings, there is 2 spots left to fill, it was just smoke and mirrors.

Gus seemed completely perplexed we even offered that, looked like he was about to hop on the phone then and there.

Tallis CTE kicking in

Michael Chammas on 100% footy says we have offer Doueihi a min wage deal (150k)

Not sure who reported that, but telegraph has him as 425k in this article...

Calls that have said he doesn't put in 100% are also way off. People need to think back to the 80th minute of the Dragons game last year. He and Bula were the ones that made the 3 tackles in the same play.

https://www.aapnews.com.au/news/crichton-won-t-play-second-fiddle-to-fifita-at-roosters/AGryWSEA Article I linked earlier, said a few things. Mainly wants to play left second row and seems a bit annoyed with Roosters. Only catch is he said he wants to go to a good team.
