Looking at our depth chart we shouldn’t keep Keegan unfortunately but if Copley was prepared to take a low wage contract then we should keep him around as a depth winger/centre like him would be great for our depth chart.
I wouldn’t play him much in QCup though in order to not risk his special ability to get constantly injured.
If Copley is willing to take a minimum wage deal it would be fantastic. But besides a hooker I thought we were still sniffing around for another depth ball playing middle.
I like hipgrave. Plenty of heart and is a good club man. Makes dumb errors but I think Holbrook could have worked with him on that.
Brimson got 13 dally m points in just 8 games. If he played a full twenty he would have recieved 32 points
Edit 9 games which would result in just under 29

Hipgrave could be one of those guys that goes to England to really learn his craft as a forward and come back to the club a mature forward. Suprised that doesnt happen more often, setting up some kind of network with Super League clubs.
If not he needs to learn how to become a meter eater as a middle and really tighten up his defence and ruck work. Would love to see him with the club still or with the club again in the future.
On the Matty John's family podcast he had cam Smith on and asked in an alternate universe who he would play for Broncs or titans and he said titans after abit of a laugh haha maybe there's a little hint there haha hopefully he plays on next year
4x train and trial positions filled so far for pre-season. Hooker, half/utility, 2x outside backs. Good mix of local young players who have had some setbacks, as well as interstate players looking for an opportunity. These players are pushed from our feeder teams in the same way the GL and Joliffe were in pre-season '20.
I think we'll see a few more added to this mix too
NRL grand final countdown show — Penrith Panthers, Melbourne Storm latest

Could the Gold Coast Titans be ready to spoil the Melbourne Storm’s NRL grand final party?
While minor premiers Penrith tackle Melbourne in the 2020 decider, the Titans are focused on strengthening their roster even more for next season.
In The Daily Telegraph grand final countdown show, Sports Editor-at-large Phil Rothfield reveals the Titans have around $700,000 in salary cap space to add a quality hooker to what is already shaping as a roster capable of challenging for the top eight.
The Storm still have Cameron Smith, Brandon Smith and Harry Grant contracted for this season and, although Smith hasn’t yet announced his future, Rothfield believes the Titans are watching on with interest.
“I’ve done a little bit of homework on the Titans and what I have found out overnight is that they are looking for a No.9,” Rothfield told Fox Sports News.
“They’ve got Bryce Cartwright’s contract money and alittle bit more, probably around $700,000 to spend.
“And I can tell you that they have approached the Melbourne Storm about Brandon Smith and Harry Grant. But they’re both going to be at the Storm because (Sunday’s grand final) is going to be Cameron’s last game in a Storm jersey.
“If they’ve got that money available, if he’s living on the Gold Coast, which I think he will be — he’s bought the house, nice new car, family, kids and schools — there’s $700k there and he’s playing so well.”
Rothfield also suggested the Titans could have a trump card in their head of performance and culure.
“There’s a guy called Mal Meninga, who was so tight with him for Queensland and Australia, don’t tell me they’re not going to have a discussion.”
Rothfield, fellow Telegraph reporter James Phelps and The Courier-Mail’s Travis Meyn join Jim Callinan on Fox Sports News to dissect all the latest news from the Panthers and Storm camps.
They cross live to Penrith legend Royce Simmons at the Panthers' grand final luncheon, zero in on Penrith's chief sledger, Jarome Luai, plus revisit the epic 2015 grand final.
Nothing we really don't already know here, but an update nonetheless.

Another dud piece by Rothfield giving a slightly different take on the same article that has been published 27 times this month
What an idiot. 'i've done a little bit of homework and they're looking for a hooker' wow. What every casual fan has heard countless times from months ago.
