Well for the rest of the season and because Reed will be out for a minimum of 10 weeks plus, then we are back to the combination of LKT/Atkinson/KF. It doesn't really matter anyway RVH there is really nothing that we can gain from this season except try a give a few other young guys a go, maybe even O'Neil. Three quarters of our backs wont be there next year anyway.
Hey Rev for years we have been saying that we need to get ourselves further up the ladder to become attractive to other recruits. Here we are with the worst season ever and the best recruiting we have done since Bennett , ahh the old story of "it's not what you know but who you know". Excellent work by everyone at the club, we can blame Flanno for some but lets not underestimate the effect Harran had for many years on ability to recruit quality players let alone players wanting to come here. Lets thank our lucky stars we got rid of him when we did, to think this imbecile was a protected species by certain factions of the club shows little they cared about moving the club forward with his tenure. Good lesson learnt I hope and lets all hopefully embrace a new era.
Yeah 100% but I just see it as potentially Jake helping recruit him perhaps.
Or maybe he was the first to welcome him to the club. Probably reading too much into it but nice to see nonetheless.
Are you seeing this
Eric, I'm not. Any others? You basing this on Young sending him back to Ressies. Figured this was probably one of three reasons or all three, his tender age, Talau wants him and with Egan back on the edge our coach prefers a more experienced bench So consequently no room for young juggernaut.Tho to be honest he should be on the pine occasionally this season at the very minimum and having his mins raised bit by bit.
I was thinking more Addin Fonua-Blake
We are getting rid of quite a few this year RVH, I'm sure DA has this in mind for the Couchies.
I've given up maintaining the 2027 spreadsheet lately, I have nfi who's gonna still be there..
I’m a Suli fan, big and strong, not as slow as most think. Personally I’d like to see him with a good 1 6 and 7 before discarding him. Let’s be honest, he hasn’t exactly had a dynamic 1 6 and 7 feeding him quality ball with space to work with over the last couple of years. Drinkwater is the type of player that could unlock Suli.
I'm basing it on Lawrie, Gular, Kerr being selected for NRL while Halangahu is in NSW Cup. Not just this week but I thought from the first game in the NRL he was better than a lot of our veterans but they keep getting selected ahead of him.Are you seeing this
He's big and strong but really doesn't bust many tackles. Makes a lot of post contact metres, like any good prop but not so much for good centres, IMO.
Although hes that suited to the modern game, I rly notice when him and/or Val r out.. were gonna have to move on at some point, whether both go next year I dunno.. seems a big ask to find 2 new centres... but this is now a magnitude easier to manage for Ando and co since we now have the core components sorted.
