Matt Shaw reporting he’s off to the NRL at the end of the season. Huge blow.

Matt turner saying the same now

Wish him all the best. Gives an opportunity for someone else to take his place.

Can’t hold the kid back.
Let him follow his heart.

Good luck to him if true.

I can see us going for Bateman now.

Maybe that's why we're after Yates???

Allan surely?

Yates is already signed 3 weeks ago.
I assumed him to play prop as relief to the 3 we let go of.

we'll see if adam holroyd starts featuring more the rest of this season

I think Holroyd will be given the chance to take that spot, He's not as good as Nicholson but still plenty of time to develop.
I think we're weaker without Him but Yates coming in does soften that blow.
i hope to god we don't go in for Bateman, he's been off the boil since he came back from Aus then buggered off again.
