Millie Elliot (nee Boyle) is a NSW rep. May be a dual partnership?
Cappy was also quoted during a radio interview I listened to earlier this year that they are pretty much planning their recruitment and talent identification 3 years into the future, but like to also have the ability to move quickly should an unexpected signing opportunity present itself.

It would be really interesting to know why he has fallen so far in the eyes of AW.
Attitude I believe, take it for what it is but Willie Mason explained it on his podcast that Fifita asked Des to play left edge. Mason said right edge is all about kick chase and effort plays and Fifita didn't want any part of that. Hasler refused him as Fermor was playing left edge and had it locked down, he was even rewarded with an origin cap.
I would guess that all these young forwards coming through have overtaken him

Not NRL.
But Catalans have cut 13 players and most of them are their NRL recruits.
Luke Kearey, Pangai Jnr, Remis Smith, Elliot Whitehead, Bayley Sironen, Tariq Sims.
Apparently Luke Keary was drastically out of form.

I had seen a couple of forums talk about Remis Smith keen to return to nrl. Think Keary was quite outspoken about the level that super league is at

Panthers fullback "open to anything" as NRL future remains uncertain
"I'm just going to rip in for the Panthers and hopefully they can give me one more year."

Saw this yesterday
Titans cap being a mess. Seems to be a theme wherever Hasler goes.
Might not be as much at fault here compared to his previous clubs. They already had Fa'asuamaleaui & Fafita on huge contracts before he arrived. Hasler would then need to strengthen the squad around that.
For Hannay it would have been wise to review their cap before taking on the job. Probably going to be a bit more players coming on the market post season as teams do their reviews. Seeing as two clubs have just ditched their coaches. That typically leads to be a bit changes to a teams roster.
