mr pedantic. Ok inside back but still a back mate. A half and a good one. Is Nick Quinn being positioned as his long term partner. With a few more kilos I see Quinn as a ball playing lock down the track, but can live with him as our long term 5/8. Tho it leaves LKT on the outer. Is the kid capable of playing dummy half when Cook goes as hate to see him forced out of our club..
Quinn could possibly be turned into a hooker but don't think LKT can. Hooker is a problem come around halfway through next year. Or earlier if Cook or Liddle is injured.

Look away now some of you but it might mean Kyle moving to hooker. My understanding is that it's only a theory he could play hooker.

We had Hunt as our 7 and never ever wanted to play hooker for us. Look at him now at the Broncos this year and next year. He will play hooker for the Broncos and SOO but never for us. The spoilt so and so but it is the clubs stupid fault by not insisting he play there to enable say Sullivan a good go at half, which would not have worked out anyway I don't think. Tim Watsford said that Kyle was originally signed up to be the 14 which would entail him covering the halves, hooker and even centre so maybe #14 is where Kyle will be selected to fill next year?

letting Ramsey go - if we sign someone like chevy Stewart or an up & coming fullback it’s a good decision. if it’s because we haven’t moved sloan on yet & we’ll just continue to use him there it’s a bad decision.
I hope we don't sign Chevy Stewart, don't think he has developed over the last few years at Canberra, wasn't impressed at all when he played U19 NSW and from all reports seems to be a bit of a dick.

Not sure, may have my games mixed up, but was this year and he didnt impress me, have seen some of his other games as well, i don't see anything special in him.

Dear o dear. External recruitment is an absolute nightmare
Not even Daniel Anderson can swing anything much externally. It is the same for years. Journeymen and rejects are our specialties unfortunately. while we read all of the other signings going on with the other clubs. Sami and many Titans players most probably now want to stay and show their wares and impress Josh Hannay before Bellamy takes over. Hannay's contract includes a clause that if the Titans sign up Bellamy (who has properties up the Gold Coast area and his daughter and her family already live up there) then Hannay would be the Assistant which Hannay has agreed to apparently so you can bet then that the Titans will be top 8-4 for several years under Bellamy. We just languish along and meander in the bottom half. It is just unbelievable.

I know I am only speculating and for all I know Anderson has genuinely got a few signings lined up but it has been crickets for such a long time with nothing concrete and even David Fale has yet to be confirmed.

Felt like it was Sami or Khan Pereira to go not both.. and thats how it played out.. Titans also promoted their young gun half this week instead of Ilias.. damn shame.. its 2 more things we now have to fix before next season..

What about Jahream Bula for 2027? Is he worth $800,000?
Good fullback. Very good.
I agree Gutho isn't a marquee fullback and he shouldn't have won the Dragons player of the year but he's a good fullback and was close to the player of the year, which isn't saying much after last season. The deficiencies were in the rest of the backline. Gutho had very little help. Also very little help from the forwards. Almost every set of 6 the other team was putting in attacking kicks.

So no to Bula. Gutho is good for next year and then the year after Burton, the fullback everyone was talking about on this thread: https://sgiforum.com/threads/promising-juniors-thread.197/page-93 will be on at least a development contract.
