Jd what was this shit Loko wrote on social media as I dont hold any accounts. My take is his knee is playing up as he left field last game limping. If so why all this speculation. What else exactly did our coach tell him other than that he'll be staying home.

I agree why do we have so many bloody dramas that lead to us losing good players for some reason, about which we as the ones that pay our hard earned year after year to support our RedV, remain in the dark. Loko, Jake and Latu were to be our engine room future. One has gone, please not another.

I agree about Flanno. I couldn't believe the interview in the off season where he said LKT had an indifferent year then followed it up with Kyle has been good the past 2 years. Kyle shouldn't get constantly bashed but Flanno shouldn't bash LKT either.

💯 10 games averaging 74rm, 169 tackles at near 98 per cent efficiency, playing short mins too is indifferent? Our coach loves messing with guys minds by playing favorites. Is this the reason we lost Latu.

Wtf leo Thomson is on 800k. Keaon is a fkn bargain.

I agree Koloamatangi is a bargain at 1 mil a season. I doubted we would get his signature for 1 mil a season, but I have heard/read there are also 3rd party deals increasing the real value of his contract. I also think Koloamatangi is much better than Thompson, who I am not convinced about, not yet anyway.

I honestly think Keaon is good value for a mil a year + a bit from 3rd parties. I'm not getting Ben Hunt vibes at all.

If Heidke and Buchanan come along like we hope and we can get a good, fast winger from somewhere, I think it's going to be a whole new ball game for us next year. But this year isn't looking so good right now.

Especially if it helps secure sua too. Maybe we don't need to pay overs to keep him with his good mate keaon coming over.

I think Su'A is good but we have so many backrowers coming into first grade, I don't think he'd be a huge loss personally. I hope we keep him but not terribly disappointed if we don't.

It's a tough one, Buchanan is very undersized & Heidke is an unknown against men. I don't think either will get much opportunity to show their effectiveness this year at nrl level. I don't think Buchanan will make it as a centre at nrl level. We'll need to recruit some OBs imo.

Is Buchanan that small? I didn't think so. I thought he's probably around 90kg. A bit on the small side for a centre but not another Aston Ward.

I'm the opposite, I think he looks small but muscular. I'd be surprised if he's 90kg. He hasn't had a chance yet to show his nrl ability. I might be wrong and he guns it as a centre!
