You may be right RedV01. I hadn't thought of Koloamatangi in terms of a permanent move to prop until you mentioned it. He may well have his best years ahead of him and will come at a more reasonable price compared to Tino. I hope DA thinks seriously about tabling and offer.
And what the clubs/coaches say to the media...
A lot of talk. Confusing because Gutho has been really good. I agree backline needs more speed but change wingers.
Fair to good. Too slow for the back. #1 plus centres too need to be pacier.
There are signs he is turning things around. A lot of talk about how he inherited a salary cap way out of shape. I'm of the opinion that if he can find it in him to drop Kyle, the shackles will really come off and he'll be really good. Though I'm still confused by the JDB situation.
I can see that with the amount of forwards we have coming in through our system we had to make room, my worry is did we make the right decision, time will tell I suppose.
I’ll admit when this initially happened I was ropable and pissed as. But as the dust settled, I understand that we have plenty of young blokes coming through that are 1st grade material.
yeah agree mate, Watsford explained it in his podcast, was virtually what you described.
I'm still looking for this marquee HB that we supposedly are in the market for.
Yes I agree Mailroomsgi. We just haven't as yet had any opportunity to see which combos would be the best fit until we have Atkinson actually at the club training with the boys and trialling them as needed. Atko/LKT, Atko/KFlanno, Ilias/LKT, Atko/Ilias etc. As you say, who decent would be a reject from their current club that would be available - none I'm guessing?
Guess it comes down to how many spots we have available. If possible I’d keep him for 2026 but again it depends on the 30. Luc is surely heading to front row rotation which could answer the Klemmer question??
Plus Couchman x 2 - F/R and 2/R?
