Geez. I would take it to be honest.
I would have rated him to be a pick between 30-40 currently, but any first for him and he is out of here.

Can't wait for Wednesday Evening, October 13th 2021, the trade period will be over and there will be an end to all this malarkey. :lol: :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

I think it is more complicated and involved than you described.

I believe it involves Battle and our first round pick in exchange for two picks from them.

Brisbane holds 14,18 and 47. So we give them 9 and Battle and get 14, 18 in return.

Don't know if true but being suggested.

That sounds more realistic, time will tell.

Where would Brisbane play Battle, as a forward rather than a winger.

Wasn't there talk of our pick 9 for their picks 14 and 18. Why would we bother including Battle just for pick 47?

Sweeten the deal maybe, 1 pick out and 3 picks in, Battle might be the steak knives for the 3 picks.

Might help with the Xerri deal, if that one is real, getting an extra 3rd round pick.

That would make Battle the equivalence of pick # 28, about right IMO.

He'd play as a forward until Hipwood returns then he becomes the same problem we have.
Battle is a better, more versatile option than someone like Cox.
If true, good luck to him. Seems like a win / win. They get much needed cover & we get much needed draft picks.

Sorry Guys - I cannot help - I used to be an ITK about Battle - sadly COVID has kiboshed this

Sounds solid and helps us with points. The only question I have then is who plays CHB or are committing to the smaller "bigs" line up down back with Howard Wilkie and Highmore?
Not saying that's wrong just wondering. If so then I would do something like that bring in 2 first rounders (Late) and also then at 18 will have an idea who picks 19 and 20 will be in regard to academy players and draft day trades become a factor.

That would be a win for the Brians and an absolute loss for us.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, that trade gives us 14 for a pick and 18 to use on NGA selection. Instead of having to bid with 9 on the NGA selection.

Can’t match any bid on an NGA kid if they are selected before 20, so it wouldn’t be related to any NGA selection.

If everybody navel gazing on this thread picked the lint out of their belly-buttons we would have enough to stuff a mattress.


Josh is a keeper.

I agree with you Trev. Josh needs to be given a position to settle into. I think he can take a good pack mark, is a big solid unit and can kick a goal when it’s needed.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.
