People in Aus saying Boyd is the form half of the comp
Tmm can go and play for Perth Bears
If we keep Boyd which should be a priority

Its a very long season between now and end of September, Tanah will have to keep holding it down week in week out, especially with a few other halves nipping at his heels.
What a great spot we're in regards to depth.

Know anything about him?

Na I just came across it. Seems quite tall 186cm to be playing u15 grade

 

[Noitall]

Does anyone think we might make an offer to Nathan Cleary with him going to market in November

You would have to say retention has been pretty good in recent times-
Walsh, afb (both were always gonna leave), ice and katoa are the only ones I could find room for in the current side.

No Kosi or SOS?

Can't see him ever wanting play against Penrith (even if Chiefs throw 2+ mil tax free at him). Lowkey I think he signs with an English prem union side. Closer to the mrs, still get his mil a year and Wallabies can select from outside of Aus now (who have a massive hole at first five). I think he would get bored in Super League having acheived almost everything in NRL.

Except for the part he could live with his parter who plays for Manchester City and play for a club like Wigan or St Helens who are less than an hour away. There have been long-term whispers about him going to Super League
