BTW interesting to see the story on Hudson Young today... got 18 months for a positive drug test sometime back. What'd the Sharks get again?
Negative drug tests...
They admitted they were guilty.
You don't seem to understand how this works, and I don't have the energy to explain it to you.

I think he meant missed tackles per half of football.

George Williams would be an insanely good signing, but he’d command an awful lot of money.

TPJ confirmed a 1 year deal with the Broncos. Definitely sounds like he has no real binding desire to be at the Broncos based on his comments.

Just found it on League Unlimited.

Interesting of true - he would only be coming as a Fullback, which means either Jack to 5/8 or Jack gone...

where did Alex Johnston play most of his games in 2018?

He lacks ball playing and defence doesn't he?

Happy with it if true and for next year, I never rated him but he was actually really good this year.

I'll take him but I think he's overrated as a fullback. Goes OK on the wing though.

It's someones relative on LU. Only Lurker levels of credibility at this stage.

Very, very good winger...

Better than good fullback...

Jack is a better 1 but having both in the team would strengthen us big time.

If we are to lose Jack it’s also a good pick up

Pretty strong I should think. And if this all happens immediately, maybe this year.

Looks like we missed the merry go round again!

Bennett confirmed for the Rabbitohs for 2020-21. Looks like Seibold to Broncos, Cleary to Panthers, Maguire to Tigers.

If it was to happen in 2019 that was possibly explain the bunnies letting AJ go.?.?

Hmmm does the BJ to the Titans rumour have legs?

I wouldn’t imagine Johnston would leave a fullback spot to chase a wing spot.

However Souths have the Junior Kangaroos full back (?name?) on their books which could ease the loss in them

No it doesn't. The Raiders have quashed it, not interested in releasing Leilua.
