    No, his tax return consists of an extended treatise affirming his right to sponge off the Australian government in perpetuity.Its always worked because any ATO employee assigned to the case falls asleep before the end of the first page.

    With all this turnover I hope they have got a preseason tour lined up, can’t spend the first half of next season establishing combinations.

    There is a decent young winger that ran around for Quins this year. His father used to play pretty good as well. Maybe worth a punt 🤔😉

    Yep. Scoring tries and pile-driving Semi Radrada through the finals series says he can play a bit. Problem is he's worn the red rose in every age team and has a goal to do the same in seniors.

    Maybe we could look at stealing his brother if he develops OK.

    Olowofela had also collected about 20 rose emblems, and we need a replacement for that fela.

    Get 'im on the old dog n bone, Hodgo!

    No one from the RFU has spoken to Noddy Jnr. Maybe Agent Eddie is doing a reverse Dingo for us here. Get him to Perth and then a cap in gold.

    The other Noddy Jnr has already been snapped up by the Reds. Get the 3rd one over for our u18s.

    Hence the "stealing" (from the Reds) reference. I knew what I meant Positionally he's a chip off the old Noddy Block too.

    True but we have already got some younguns there positionally. Need more backs wider out. Was it nine backline departures listed this week?

    Seems that Matt Burke is not happy with us persuing Blake Fergusson, probably even more reason to do so as as I cannot remember Burke ever being on our side or helping in our fight, the fact that he says its the wrong move by the Force, makes you wonder why he is adding his comments, are we getting close to a signature.

    TBH, if he is 31, I'm kind of wondering myself. A year or two to acclimatise doesn't seem to leave much pay-off.

    I get the 31 thing and don't think an old back without rugby experience is a good buy, but Burke's article feels a bit "searching for reasons to have an opinion" as opposed to forming an opinion based upon an assessment of the facts.

    Its a bit rich to have a winger/fullback saying that an NRL player can't handle the idiosyncracies of league.

    He also says he'd play in the centres, is that based upon anything? He'd be pretty unlikely to unseat K Godwin and to suggest he'd play 12 is a pretty long now, too much responsibilty over the ball on the floor for 12 to be an easy transition

    I have some doubts, mainly his age re time to adapt. But you're right re his searching for reasons to criticize. He very probably knows Jack about which young outside backs we have in the pipeline. Hodgo OTOH....

    Matt Burke was a brilliant FullBack for the Wallabies and the Tahs. I think he deserves a bit more respect. And shouldn't be judged on whether he shared or voiced an opinion on an action that happened 4+ years ago.

    As for the recruitment of Blake Ferguson. The one thing that the Force have needed since day one in 2006 is a line breaker. All of them have always been locked away by contracts, or out of our price range. (Yes I am betting Hodgo still has a budget he has to work within.)

    Ferguson has the potential to be that guy.

    And we need to look outside the box. To get that X factor.....
