who does easts have coming back to clubland?

Liam is done for the season and Richie asiata may well find himself in the wallabies mix.

I suspect losses for the tigers in the back half of season when the rep cattle comes back to clubland

I think Richie has relocated to the Dragons.
Easts are ok for hookers in any case.

Not only are they the main club for GPS students (predominantly from Nudgee), but they now also have a New Zealand connection through the appointment of former manu samoa player Junior Polu as the pacific islander coordinator. His guidance has led to a steady influx of Polynesians who wouldn’t typically choose Brothers as their club, given its location in Albion/Ascot, a predominantly upper-class, Caucasian suburb.

He is also mates with David Fusitua and got him to the club. That appointment is definitely paying dividends for the Filth.

I think the key to Brothers sustained success is their players want to play for the club. Happy to be corrected but are there many club hopping mercenaries in their Premier / Reserve Grade Program?

Easts are looking very dangerous but what holds that fabric together. Wests the same. Uni is a bit of revolving door and Souths lack of depth starting to emerge. GPS and Bond too inconsistent.

Brothers know how to win finals and with Ryan, Dre, JYD to come back, likely not to be in Wallabies squad - that’s the team I’d be looking at. Love em or hate em - Brothers generally have their house in order.

Hard to disagree but we have seen east’s front row win premierships quite recently and they have that pretty well covered
