Have I missed something?? With respect, unless Purdue has signed with Saints for 2026 and is lining up at Vegas in the red V, then who gives a rats arse. This is the thread for round 1 team 2026, which is 1 month away. Maybe you could go start a Purdue thread of its own
If you read back, my post was a reply to Dragons Chris. The conversation was one one that branched off the Bula conversation, in which we were said to be in the running to sign. Maybe I will start a Purdue thread or I may start a thread of players we should sign. That sounds like a good thread.

Sounds good. Go start those threads and let’s leave this one for round 1 chat. Cheers

Yeah, it’s nice to see you and D Dragon David again. I have enormous respect and goodwill for both of you.

I’m just trying to contribute to the broader discussion.

As you might recall, I met JBD during his court case. My impression was, that the prosecution didn’t have their ducks in a row, so I wished him the best and he was very very grateful.

I also spend time with women’s Domestic Violence people, so I’m sensitive and sympathetic to women in trouble.

But the JBD allegations, they weren’t adding up for me.

Everyone deserves a fair go, regardless of any gender, religion or other distinguishing feature. The rule of law, should be for everyone ( and should be far more accessible to folk financially).

But I wouldn’t extend my good will to some other players.

Now we got the bum steer about Bula, he’s still on the loose, but if the forumer got it wrong, that’s Ok. Doesn’t matter!
Thankyou TSP, our blessing is we found this forum, welcome and like many others who have come across, its nice to have you guys here.

Nick T looks jacked in the training photos. Thought he was pretty good in his 1st grade debut. Hope he kicks on this year.

I dunno why he is the forgotten man in the 2nd row discussions, maybe because Flanno seemed fully invested in turning him into a centre last year (which I think was more about our clubs lack of centre depth + injuries + too many 2nd row options), but I think hes as likely as any of our other blokes to play rep level footy...

However if he keeps getting chopped between positions it wont help his development.. but he probably is a great candidate for 1st grade bench covering ctr, 2nd row and I think middle... but im not sure whats going on with this 6 man bench thing.. maybe we dont need that coverage anymore.

I hope Nick T gets a lot of game time this season and not as a center.

I’m an unabashed fan

I think I read previously that they weren't going to play O'neill at 14, why not or are we putting KF there. Will trials tell us anything, there will be players going here there and everywhere. The one position we were really short on was hooker and here we are. When will this curse ever leave !!!

I would like to see what the plan is to replace Cook when he needs a breather
