With Billy Walters going to Wests Tigers and rumours that Brodie Croft is going to the Broncos, we will be light on in the halves.

What are people's thoughts about us signing Todd Murphy from Sunshine Coast Falcons? He seems to be a solid player, has a good kicking game and is an 80%+ goal kicker. Or in his late 20s is he too old?

If you're good enough, age shouldn't matter.

Vunivalu is being shopped around as we are over the cap for 2020.

Yet the Roosters are probably $3 million under the cap with Cronk retiring

Post your source - and I mean a reliable source, not The Mole or 'heard it down the pub' - or your trolling days are over.

Hopefully the Falcons can nurture a similar style of player to Ryan *will hide the players name* in next year's Mal Meninga competition. Has to make the final squad but should do it easily after his form at the QLD Schoolboys championships.

Croft spotted with Seibold today in Sydney. Whether he goes there or not it seems like he's on the outer. Wonder who we're looking into replacing him with?

I would have said Billy Walters but that ship has sailed. Is Cooper Johns a possibility to step up or do we look outside the club?

Watching Crofty this year endeavor to kick the ball dead at the end of sets on at least 4 occasions (that I can remember)....,and fail miserably to put the ball out each time... suggested to me that he just was never going to be part of a CB coached team.

We all understand how much CB values defence ...

Storm have announced that Solomone Kata is leaving.

There have been rumours going around that he may be going to rugby union and may not be going too far. He may be joining the Rebels.

Probably wasn't going to stay unless he was in fg.
