    I hope that Warriors are brave enough to exit mass numbers. Something needs to give and unless a clear message is sent we'll just get more of the same. Had no idea that many clubs were in cap crisis - should be some good options on the table then.

    I hope we hold on to our young halves but get in an experienced player to do the driving - so we can get something out of SJ in the next year or so. Rather than waiting for a new player to develop, by which stage SJ will be on his downward slide.

    Soooo much was made of having this amazing spine, that we totally overlooked the fact you need forwards to get any opportunities! oh, and that defense is also kind of important.

    At the moment I'd take 9 Mannerings, with Gavet, SJ, RTS and Fusitua to round out my 13!

        Knights spank the scrubs known as Parramatta 29-10 in their 2001 Grandfinal rematch at Aussie Stadium.
        Newcastle won't be finishing last next season - some serious young talent there including Kiwi hooker Danny Levi.

          @Sneakdefreak They've got a few good signings going there next year too..
          The Knights might not finish last this season either..

            Jaysus, the Cowboys are losing key players left, right and centre. Leading the Panthers 10-6 and now Michael Morgan just got knocked out and is undergoing a concussion test. Justin O'Neill is also out of the game with a broken/dislocated arm.

              Looks like injuries are FINALLY taking their toll on the North Queensland Cowboys. Panthers win 24-16 and Nathan Cleary looks to be the next Jonathan Thurston.

                    Looks like Eric Watson is selling the club to Jim Doyle and player-agent Peter Brown.

                          Nothing to lose either!

                          Wonder if Jim is keen to make some big changes but Watson has been reluctant?

                          We just need someone to sack up and revamp the roster in a big way.

                            @Paekakboyz It means John Ackland could come back into the fold as a scout/recruitment guy. The club hasn't really discovered or developed much young talent since Ackland left.

                                @Godder Benji, Josh Reynolds and Luke Brooks to battle it out for the halves positions.

                                    Score starting to blow out in the Warriors/Raiders game (as expected) although the baby Warriors have been making a go of it.

                                      Raiders win 36-16.

                                      Some thoughts:

                                      • Turns out the new owner is some bloke called Paul Davys. I know very little about him but will be interesting to see how this unfolds i.e will Davys business partner Peter Brown be involved, who is also the agent for Shaun Johnson.
                                      • Ata Hingano was the best player in this loss, was always trying to make something out of nothing and defending well.
                                      • But I don't think Hingano works well with SJ as they are similar players.
                                      • Nathaniel Roache also played well - I feel Luke is on the outer. Monty Betham said pre-match how it was Luke's training/preparation that saw him relegated to the bench.
                                      • Raiders are massive. Steroids are an amazing thing.

                                        Match of the round, Tigers come from two tries behind to beat Manly.
