Agreed, but he'll probably be in the squad on merit tonight. Next year with Bentley, Gannon a year older and another middle still to come - maybe not. He is not my idea of a top class rugby league player, but I have huge respect for him. When we're winning the Grand Final again he may not be lifting the trophy, but he will have played an important in turning the ship round.

I don’t know if any team can find the money or the available quality to have much depth in SL.

Part of the reason we signed Donaldson was as a professional role model for the youngsters. We see a player for 1hr 20 each week at most; but the contribution they make is throughout a whole week.

Work ethic needed to be re-established at the club and I agree with that. Young lads need role models to learn from, and that can’t just be based on natural talent.

Donno wouldn’t get in my 17 next year but I think he’a been a good signing. Thompson should have been a 1 year deal, 2 most.

Luke has mostly been solid. Again he is at best 3rd winger in the pecking order - who do you want there Wendell Sailor?

The reason we’ve let him go is either because we have a better senior player in mind, or we feel that Tindall, Broadbent we al can equally well fill in as reserve wingers at this point. Which I’d agree with.

People say that teams that win titles wouldn't have Donaldson in their side are talking out of their proverbial.

We won titles with Kirke, Walters, Keinhorst etc. Players at a similar level. And that was in an era where the competition was stronger.

It's a salary cap sport, you can't have top quality 1-17 every week.

That's when we had Sinfield Mcguire Peacock Burrow our quota spots included Lauititi Webb Moon Donald Leuleai Delaney etc.
The current make up of this Squad is nowhere near that quality or skill level.

"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs."

Can we just pause and note how good LB was last night? He's not a superstar but for a player who has been released, has never been a big earner and who has nothing as far as we know lined up he was excellent.

Totes, thought he was immense last night. This is from someone who still thinks it’s the right call to release him. Have a lot of respect for the lad, gives his best.
