Still need to be set up with a decent attacking structure and clear way of playing and that's where RS and the other coaches need to improve next year. It's not just about the players available.

When and if we get the players who can deliver a structure on the field, I think we can all judge RS’s coaching ability more accurately. If we’re still playing like a bag of frogs then we can all get on the picket lines and get the voodoo dolls out together .

Yes, let's pick it apart before it's even announced. Players move around in the NRL, it's more like the Premier League in that regard.

Yes, he had injury last year, but his career isn't exactly littered with them, is it? At the end of they day he is a good player who's held is own in squads full of superstars over a fair number of years. We'll be lucky to get him.

Agree with this NRL players seem to move from club to club more frequently than players do in SL. Probably because there is more quality of team to go to and players can still have a chance of winning silverware at 6/7 clubs compared to SL where it's literally 3/4 teams only in recent years has NRL been dominated by the Panthers. If Momirovski is fit he'd be one of top centres in SL he's performed well in top NRL teams in recent years and is only 27 so still has plenty of good years ahead of him

If we land him, I wonder whether they will keep him on the right (he’s tended to play 2 or 3 looking at his highlights).

Moving Newman to the left could make sense now; he is more useful in offence than defence and his passing can be really poor; think he is right handed to maybe passing to his left (Handley) might be better.

Have I missed something?
Is MacDonald definitely not coming back?

We would be fools to take him back.

Not a chance he'll be coming back.

Do we think we will ever find out what happened? It's just bizarre and MacDonalds made it even more bizarre with his recent claim.

I doubt it. Following his statement last week I wouldn't be surprised to hear him claim the moon was made of cream cheese. One for the crackpot files I reckon.

Hasn't Momorovski had the same shoulder surgery that Oledzki had?

If so, the Leeds physio team should be experienced in the aftercare and it hasn't further hindered Mik since he returned. Although, he still looks to play a bit more cautiously.
