It's no lurker, but I can say this about that site. It definitely exists.
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

On Fensom;

If true (sounds very speculative) it's not a bad thing.

He is FG quality and deserves to be playing 80.

We are in an amazing position where he is no longer in our best 17. You can't keep guys like him on as depth, it's not fair to him.

Positive for the club is it sounds mutual, he could be a bum and sit in Mounties on massive coin doing us no good or he could choose to do the best for both parties, find himself a permanent week in week out 80m gig and leave on great terms.

Does not sound like we are shopping him around. Just being honest and saying you are #18 at the Raiders. Welcome to stay and be an amazing back up but we will not stand in your way if you want to explore your options and play footy.

Either way the guy is a legend and would always be welcome.

Probably one of the safer guesses as far as making up rumours goes.

If he does go then I would hope we have some plan for maintaining our depth at it's current level. No use letting all your depth go just to do players a favour.

Looks like we signed a utility veteran from the ESL. Jordan Turner plays for St. Helens.

I think moving Fensom on, if true, going to be good for all concerned
He deserves to play FG and we need to clear his cap space

If he leaves, I'll be thankful for all the years he gave his guts to this club in dark times.

Ill be sad if Fenno goes. He bleeds green. And for all those yrs when we were ordinary he still showed up every wk and put in 110%.

Like Barnett, needs to be playing FG though. So would wish him well.

agree with this.
He's obviously on starters money and is no longer guaranteed a spot in our 17, We have the likes of Bateman, Baptiste off contract this year and the likes of Rapana, Whitehead, Vaughan off contract in 12 months time, if this helps us retain a couple of these guys then its a no brainer.
And from Fensoms point of view he'll field much better offers from other clubs now than in 12 months time if he's been regularly missing out on the top grade team like he has over the past month or so

I feel like fenno would take a pay cut to stay and is definitely the kind of bloke to play a reduced role if required. He may be chasing max dollars and minutes but that doesnt sound like shaun fensom to me. I think he'd be more inclined to chase a premiership with us than personal glory. But maybe that's just me

Jamal Idris? Could be a good 4th reserve and depth signing, although we just signed that English lad too. Would also be cheap.

Oh, only just saw that.
He'd probably be looking for a starting gig which we wouldn't be offering.

With brenko leaving we definitely need at least one NRL quality back to keep our back 5 honest. Someone like Jacob Gagan from the sharks who is off contract with plenty of upside potential..

Couldn't give a more comprehensive NO to Jamal Idris.

Bloke has always had severe weight issues and he's just gone walkabout for a year. Add to that our 2 second rowers are way better than he ever was and you shouldn't even consider it.

Surprised no one has mentioned Tuimoala Lolohea yet. He is wasted at the Warriors and I have no idea what is going through McFaddens head by keeping a player with his talent on the bench. I would take him over Ed Lee.
