Brad Scott has announced he's retiring at the end of the year.  Looks doubtful that Mal Michael will play on.

[mightytiges]

Michael said he'll only play on if he can train on a part-time basis so yeah it looks like he'll retire too.

Emg: Humm, Moore, Knobel

Not good news for Roachy or Rodan.

I hope we aren't too big with Simmo, Staff and Patto all in the same side along with Richo and Sarge. Sarge can go into defence if need be.

In the Courier mail tomorrow Michael says he has a 2% chance of playing on. He wants to focus on his foundation in PNG.
