Just checking.. Atkinson kicked 14/18 in 2024 (77%).. small sample size obviously but he clearly can kick.. otherwise its Kyle 182/238 (also 77%), and then someone like Reed in the extended.. think thats it for the squad.
1000% hes really the only x-factor in our backline (atkinson aside who we havent seen), I rly never thought he was playing this weekend, just hope its nothing new is all.
hopefully its just the same injury, for some reason flanno/club have been pretending hes been 100% all this time.
maybe they were always planning to announce it late week.. dont rly see why he would play if any doubts.
Just checked, hes signed for 2026 and 2027. says 700k.. absolute gun.. ive never seen anything like his performance against us last year, from memory he saved 4 tries single-handledly just one-man cleaning up everything we sent that side of the field, I was infuriated...
That said I can say...
cant believe the mole's tactics still work.. he doesnt even apologise for making clickbait titles to enrage fans.. there was one this week about (ex-dragon) glover getting the start over humphries.. i mean humphries has been injured for ages, im not sure how much (if any) he will do this...
I think we mean 'over-rated', look CT isnt very popular with fans atm.. and he's my 3rd or 4th wing choice at the club also (Id have Tu/Fale/Feagai first), but the gap between the 4 of them is not that much... so if based on the pre-season, the coaching staff think that's what the team needs...
I'm with ya man, kind of forget cause we havent seen him since April 5th 2025 (2 tries that day lol), but I dont want to get too excited until I see him extend..
well we do have a 19yr old Dearden Jr in reserve grade (turns 20 next month), so fullback is the position we will be chasing the hardest.. we have been linked with every fullback/half on the market in the last 6 months, and I've no doubt Purdue is one of them.. will be hard if h'es happy up...
I guess we already had our Haas moment with KK, but I am hoping that the 2027 fullback one will also come out of nowhere and 'soon'.. I mean.. technically there is no rush whatsoever... but you would think anyone on market for 2027 (koula, bula, purdue etc) would surely prefer to wrap things up...
What are you talking about? I'll take any of the young guns we can get to sign on the line.. I will be surprised if the cows let him go though, they seem to be keeping the 1 & 6 jerseys free to make sure he has the pathway.
I am not looking forward to valentines day.. makes last week look like a bludge... these are in QLD Time, add an hour for NSW, all games on BarTV (apart from 1st grade).
