    Yeah man, I work with dementia patients so I know how difficult they can be. If sleeping is a probably at night do make sure he has had his medications reviewed. Which I am sure you don't want your father on many medications, but it can help behaviourally especially if he is having trouble at night. My further advice is depending on your state they should have programs/government services/respite to also help provide certain levels of assistance/give you time to work on your own health and well being. Also don't ever think you are letting your father down if you end up needing to turn to an Aged Care Facility or Social Worker to help manage and utilise services, as that is why they are there, it is much better than this enveloping your life and you losing who you are, and as I said the services help prevent from you breaking down, or running yourself into the ground. But yeah if you need any advice, help or just want to vent about the behaviours feel free to message me.

    Awesome stuff mate. Cheers.

    I wonder if this will end Hayne's nrl career because he's still unsigned by the Eels & there were a couple of clubs interested in him (I think the Dragons were one) but I read they have now withdrawn their interest in light of the current rape allegations. I suppose he'll go to esl if he doesn't get a job in the nrl.

    I'm not sure he's been charged with Rape has he? My understanding is that it is aggravated sexual assault. Either way, its incredibly serious and from quickly reading some notes on the allegations made by the woman in the US from a couple years back there are a number of similarities... Its gonna be hard for him to get an NRL contract regardless of the outcomes of the two cases I reckon...

    It's aggravated sexual assault he has been charged with, guessing rape is harder to prove. It is now being reported it wasn't consentual.

    He's toast in the NRL. Goes to court early December, adjourned for a few months. He wont be able to leave the country to go to ESL and if he gets off it could be too late for either season.

    It's official now - McGuire signs 4 year Cowboys deal after being released from his current Broncos contract which was up to 2020. This eased up salary cap pressure so Lodge, Oates & TPJ can be re-signed by the Broncos.

    Holmes immediate release from Sharks.

    What happens now?
    Dugan to fullback and Aaron Gray comes in at Centre? Or do they hit the market and find someone new? Bet they wish they kept one of Leutele or Ramien now.

    Ofahengaue spent some time there last year and did quite well if I recall.

    I think their best forward pack would look:

    8. Lodge
    9. McCullough
    10. Pangai Jr
    11. Glenn (/Su'A switches to the left)
    12. Gillett
    13. Ofahengaue
    14. Su'a/ Glenn
    15. Fifita
    16. Haas
    17. Staggs

    Savelio and Tagatese as forward injury/origin cover


    ...But I suspect if TPJ wants to play in the second row or lock, then he will get whatever he wants because either Bennett will want to keep him happy so he follows him to Souths, or Seibold will want to keep him happy so he doesn't follow Bennett to Souths Razz

    He's always been a Bronco, actually I think it's been his only club so he isn't on loan from the Titans
    Ofahenguae imo will lock the Broncos scrum & he's in my player pool for 2019 because I think he'll be gold
    Also not sure if mentioned but Brian Kelly (Manly) has signed for the Titans. I only noticed this as there's an article on nrl.com with all player movements.

    it's always just speculation until the deal is done.
    I won't call Glenn a Titan just like I wouldn't call Napa a Bulldog

    Another question is what happens with Barba?

    I know Barba is going to the Cows but wasnt there a swap on the cards with the Sharks

    TPJ will play in the middle.

    Sua will likely start left edge.

    If Holmes makes it in the nfl then Kyle Flanagan might be the big winner because Moylan could go to f/b & then Flanagan to start in the halves.

    What happens when C. Watson lines up at full back in round 1. He is currently classified as hok/hlf. Will they drop 1 of the positions & replace with wfb or is he stuck with hok/hlf for eternity.

    Gallen certainly not mincing his words on what he thinks about Holmes trying out for the nrl & breaking his contract. Gallen does have a point but I can see the other side of the argument as well.

    Can understand the frustration for the club and for Gal but you shouldn't have your captain come out and sound like a sour old git even if he is a sour old git.

    Geez you'd think Gal has been around long enough to know how to approach things but the guy just doesn't ever seem to learn.

    I reckon he'd go alright on the wing. Could even make a good fullback.
    Maybe the Cowboys should try and sign him and see how he goes.
