Sounds like he will be stoked to join :lol:
Exactly, I bet it’s all bs anyway. I’d prefer a Sezer / Jacks half combo ... not Williams.

This is the 2nd time this rumour has come up. So their may be legs to it.

U know he will make his tackles, and be happy to play 3rd fiddle to Sezer and Hodgo. Kicking game is fine for a 3rd option too.

Wont win us many games, but might save us from losing a few.

Lino is joining the Knights.
What does this mean for Ponga at 6?
Or Watson at all?

Surely Lino plays 6, Ponga remains at FB. Meaning Watson is the utility?

As hesitant as I am to move Jack, if it was to play Watson at FB, I could probably live with that.

Lino straight in to first choice halves at Newcastle you reckon? I’d say he would be depth

It will be interesting to see, but I thought he did enough this yr to suggest he is well and truly in the conversation to start. I think he is a better option than Watson at 6, and it means they can keep Ponga at 1.

Wayne is leaving the Broncos end of next year, it should increase the chances of TPJ moving on.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

A half decent outside back that can play wing or centre as depth is something we do need. Q is, will he work for min wage?!?

The answer to this question just played half a season at Mounties and has the same surname as our greatest ever fullback.

Not sure of contract status but lindsay Collins might be interested in a chance to start. He goes alright and wouldn't break the bank.

I assume he means taane milne and I agree. Not that the axe (David milne) was the raiders greatest ever full back, but that taane Milne could play the depth role we require on close to minimum wage. Remember we also have oldfield and Abbey on the books. Both are handy depth players.

Yeah tongue in cheek sorry guys.

If Milne’s off field dramas aren’t too great you’re not going to get a better back up outside back.

Im a huge fan of Milne, assuming he has his off field life sorted.
However, isnt there some contract hurdles for him to return to the NRL?!?

Milne has 13 appearances for Mounties, so that's his 12 game NRL ban served.
He had a Mounties contract not a Canberra Raiders one.
I don't think Milne is contracted in 2019?
Would have won Boogs - 2016, 2017, 2018

With Slater retiring and Jacks free to move on Drinkwater moves up the depth chart next year at the Storm.

I’m sure it is not a hard sell from the Storm to convince him that it is a good idea to stay around for a bit longer.
