    He's a washed up winger playing Ron Massey Cup and you think he's going to play the specialist position of left centre in the NRL this season? Get a grip.

      Yes 5 out - that would be a very rare situation indeed.

        Why are we always so scared of blooding a new player, Ethan King is the man.

        May, Wong, Whyte, Sandon Smith have all been given a chance in the last year and thrived.

        Might just turn out we have another centre option for next season.

        Let’s all be more optimistic with Rookiee instead of looking for experienced has beens

          Don't think this will happen for 2024 - Glebe didn't play in Ron Massey Cup on the weekend - The game was postponed.

          June 30 is the cut off for any last minute signings

          Ethan King must be close to a debut though

          Not many times would you have 3 or 4 of your NRL centres out during the season all at the same time. i.e Suaalii , Billy Smith , Toia and now Pauga
          Are you referring to Nofo or Whare as being rumored to be offered a train and trial deal?

            Look I see the appeal in getting some new blood into the squad but looking at it realistically, we are going to be what another 1-2 games without having a specialist outside back? And without being presumptuous, they are games against Tigs and Dragons if we can’t beat them because we have a centre out we have more problems to worry about. Pauga had an absolute shocker at left centre and we still managed to win quite comfortably the other day. Surely Wong, Sitili or Ethan King could do a half decent job there.

            JS and Jenko will be back soon enough, especially with the bye around the corner, do we really need to be bringing in journeyman when we can make do with having a back rower or a young bloke there for a couple of games against lower level opposition?

            Id love to get Marky Mark in earlier so he can adjust quicker and get into our system but apart from that I see no reason to make moves in the market for 2 games of cover.

                Absolutely not. Guy is a head case.

                Broncos are seemingly going to have to let Staggs go. That’s who we need.

                    I’d be happy with Staggs until Manu returns (if he ever does).

                    Has he ever played left centre, as that would be ideal? Or just on the right?

                    If there was a wish list, I’d sign Critter!!

                      At least for next game, surely Tupou and E.King can handle the Tigers’ right side attack… Doueihi and Staines.

                        There is no need to blow one's head off because of a headache.

                          Latrell is better than both of them.

                            I doubt the Doggies ever let him get close to leaving. He’s a phenomenal young player they will want there for a decade
