Tyrell looks:
A) Bigger
B) Not happy
Tyrell really should be beating Gutho in these kind of (30min road) races.

RFM looks old. When I first saw the pic I wondered which member of the coaching staff it was.
Gutho looks popular with teammates. In all the years, I realised I've never once seen a similar pic of Hunt.

Tyrell should try the same weights program, at least for the legs, as the chic in the background between Carr and Gutho.
In all seriousness, I know a couple of people have doubts about Guthos ability going forward but it seems he has a really good effect on teammates.

I don't usually quote myself but wanted to say one more thing about signing Gutho. I just checked and noticed traffic to this site suddenly picked up, like almost tripled, the day before he was confirmed and then it slowly went back down to normal over the next week. I wanted to say so because I think he's also good for sponsorship and therefore, club finances. Won't be strutting around publicly sulking about everything to do with the club.

It really was the moment Hunt went, its like a weight of negativity left.. and a couple of really positive signings since.. with hopefully more to come.. though im starting to worry Atkinson is no guarantee anymore.
Tbf Lawson, Gutho, Atko, Douieh,Couchmans negotiations were all underway for weeks if not months before he left.. but its been 4 good news stories in a row.. hopefully 5 or 6 in the next few weeks.

Need to lock in LKT with an extension.

No rush I reckon.. not sure hes the one.. hopefully he has a development position for 2025, and he can really put his head down bum up for the next 6 months or so.. and the club can assess his progress early season.

In his one game, thought he showed so much promise in the first half. Took the ball right to the line before passing. Not allowing defenders to slide across and easily snuff out the attack.
In the second half had no ball. Was targeted by their attack but didn't miss a tackle. Unlike certain other backs.
I know it's very early but I was greatly encouraged.

Definitely some promise, very similar to Amone at an early age.. but what we got wrong with Amone is we didnt let him develop in NSW Cup, we rushed him into 1sts.. and he wasnt ready (and it rly hurt us for 2yrs). LKT is 19.5yrs old, just needs some patience.. not sure what we will do for a 2026 contract yet, hopefully he will stay Dev until we can see more of him in 2025.. see if hes still improving and perhaps dominating NSW Cup... if he does that he will get his upgrade.

But unlike Amone, he's a strong defender. I think he's ready for first grade.

Plus Amone has about as much ball-playing ability as Kyle Flanagan. That is, none. I think LKT has that ability. Though really not sure why Amone's running game ended up so bad. I think LKT has better ball-playing and a better running game and a much better tackler. What's his kicking game like?

Damn that’s a shame for Hayden, not ideal to prep for a new season.
What’s the contract situation for Afu? I’ve been impressed by him and thought he’d be in the camp with Reed,Halangahu and co. the last few weeks.
Thought he’d be pushing into NSW cup at some point in 2025

I know from personal experience, broken foots take a while to heal considering they are such small bones.

A lot of field work on fitness with corner post touch.
Concerning that Hame is still on light duties

They probably just don’t want to flog Hame after his pericarditis. The Keith Titmuss death at manly training has made the NRL hover over all the training regimes for clubs.

I'm not talking about flogging him, he is not doing any running at all, 3 months after the incident is a concern for his full recovery

Hopefully more of precaution than anything else.
