Thoughts?? Pretty generous considering the injury crisis.

[Moose]

It's 2 weeks and gets him some minutes in case we need him for the finals, it's a win win

[King Salvo]

With Verrills and Lam rotating at DH and Benny M in reserve I suppose it's a chance to get some NRL game time.

Bit awkward though in having to play for someone else for 2 weeks - if some miracle happens and Dragon makes the 8 as mathematically they still can does he stay on or come back to Chook - I think players returns to their parent club for finals or can they stay on?

Be interesting who takes 7th and 8th as mathematically both spots still open

Knight (24) - 131 play Titan and Bronco
Shark (20) - 32 play Bronco and Storms
Titan (20) -46 play Knight and Warrior
Raider (20) - 85 play Warrior and Chook
Warrior (18) -115 play Raider and Titan
Dragon (18) -126 play Cowboy and Rabbit
Tiger (18) -162 play Panther and Bulldog

it means one of our blokes who wouldn't have got any footy will play a bit but i'm hoping we can get a few players for the next couple of weeks

[SamKerrSimp]

I think the Knights and Sharks will make 7th and 8th. I hope we finish in 5th, there's no home ground advantage anymore and getting spanked by Melbourne in week 1 isn't going to be fun I'd rather us flog the Sharks and take our chances on the loser of Penrith-Souths. Penrith have been extremely lucky both times this year to have us down to 12 men with a dodgy sin bin when we were looking strong all things considered I'd love to eliminate them in straight sets

A good move for Lussick I wouldn't be surprised if the Roosters give him approval check out his options around the NRL. I think Marschke has jumped in front of him.

yep, seems like marschke is ahead of him. you can't keep em all and with watson coming next year you'd doubt the club would stand in the way of him getting a deal somewhere else

Loan players cant represent other clubs in finals

[Random Rooster]

Can we borrow Lomax for a couple of weeks? I get the feeling he may like it and stay for a few years. I know Robbo would elevate him to an elite centre in a short time

Benjamin Marschke was signed to a development contract for this year and 2022.

I’m not sure Marschkeez is ahead of him, he just might cost less for a similar output. I do agree about the club doing the right thing and potentially putting him in the shop window to be signed. Saints could do worse than resurrecting the blonde hooker role

maybe, but if verrills goes down, it will be bm replacing him not fl. seems like robbo's happy with that

[Mickie Lane]

Its good for everyone.

[mightyrooster]

They should loan us a winger or centre in return.

Lomax...goalkicker. Decent centre. There's a hooker at centre for the Roosters this week.
