But would there be more money for Henry elsewhere? I’d say the reasons why the reds wouldn’t pay him that much would apply to most other teams as well. Henry needs a good uninterrupted run without being injured before teams take the gamble (in my opinion)

I know it’s not quite the same but buried deeper in the article it says that there’ll be one FTA game of Shute Shield and Hospital Cup each week.

Don’t worry, got it, was going with the joke. Definitely not having a go!

Under pressure I suppose

Nongorr acquitting himself very well against De Groot

Lot of good involvements from Blyth early

I agree - he’s got proper size, good line out option and some of his tackles and clean outs are brutal. Lock with a bit of a nasty streak which is what everyone claims to want. If he continues to develop his carrying game a bit more (which it looks like he is, 2 tries this season in the tight)...

But the question would be what are the combined FTA and Stan subscriber numbers?

And says that RA offered him $600k just before Xmas with a slight improvement since then… If they don’t throw money at him, who are they going to throw it at?

Reminds me a little bit of Ikitau

Mason might be needed at 10, pending how Lynagh and HMP pull up from those head shots…

Don’t know if anyone saw the Inside Line show on Stan last night but some interesting tidbits in between Goog and Horan’s dribble. Iain Payton was implying that the Cheika & Waugh meeting was very much initiated by Cheika and that he likely isn’t/wasnt high on RA’s list. Generally saying that...

With that news will be interesting how the reds go about retaining their other locks. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) locked in for 3 years, Canham 2 years (I think). Think they’ll be able to keep both Blyth and Smith?
