Broederlow is a backrower, good size, breaks tackles, good D, can offload & brings plenty of effort (not lazy).
Well if Broederlow is like that then he’s one we need to keep and develop. Benji and Richo should have a relationship with Gagai from thier Souths days so I think we have a chance should we take it. And Mooney I admit I don’t know much about has only played 6 games since 2021 I think but he would be easily stuck at the moment behind Papa and Tapine so if we do sign him I’ll judge when he’s with us.
With ??? on Kepaoa & Tumeth’s futures with the club, Vaihu offers effort but has shown little else, there is a big opportunity for Sukkar who goes into top 30 next year. If Broederlow can maintain his development, he could very well land a Dev or T&T deal next season.
I don’t think Tumeth will be here next year we’ll probably just pay him out and he’ll be on his way. Kepaoa is 50/50 at this stage we may keep him but if we do he probably gets a one year deal. Vaihu I don’t think will make it and Sukkar I don’t think so either but he will at least have a chance to prove others who doubt him. As you said if Broederlow keeps it up I think he’ll get a development contract next year.
I get what your saying but I don’t see class ball playing centres coming through. Maskaski is a tough ball runner by all reports and it’s unknown if Large is in terested in playing centre at this point. No point hoping he will play centre, need to know or move on. I’ve seen this movie before, we develop them hope they come through then they sign with someone else. We don’t have heaps of centres coming through and there are two centre positions that need to be filled! Olam will leave in the next few years, it’s fine if Slomax stays. Anyway no point in crying over spilt milk. Just thinking a recruitment manager would have been pushing fir this one.
I think there’s a chance Feledy will kick on he’s been doing well in Cup from what I hear. Haven’t had a chance to see him play properly yet but heard he’s doing good. I think there must be a plan if they weren’t gonna sign Lomax so it is what it is, just have to wait for it to unfold.
But it doesn't block them. It provides then a steady and more competitive side to be joining. Currently we have no decent quality wingers, and 1 quality centre in our top 30. The names you've listed should all be 1-2 years away from first grade. We shouldn't simply throw every decent 18 year old we have straight in the top grade because we're struggling, we want them to be ready, banging the door down from below and earning their spots.
I agree I don’t want us to throw every 18 year old into first grade unless they are good enough obviously, but Lomax is 24 and Schiller is 22 you can have both of those players for 10 years if they don’t have serious injuries which shorten their careers. And signing a player that young is going to cause a block for players coming through because you can have them for a long period of time, not like Olam or Gagai where you have them for 2 years maybe 3 if needed knowing they’ll be retiring not long to have the young ones come through. I don’t think Mason would make first grade as a fullback he most likely make it on the wing. Yes being competitive and winning does help in retention, but if they find their path to first grade blocked they will most likely leave. Every club faces that dilemma at some stage but Lomax and Schiller do that to us unfortunately because they are still young. If they were 30 or at least 28 it wouldn’t have been a problem but they are young which in this case is unfortunately the problem.
Will be nice to see him make the top 8 unlike tigers… what’s new. We loose someone to a top 8 team and they flourish.
Why specifically are you mentioning Blore in all of your posts? Bloke was incredibly average for us, played 33 games in 4 years and is really not doing much better at Storm than he was here. He might be in a different system but he ain’t the reason Storm are doing well. All he did yesterday was pick up a loose ball to pass it to Munster, who kicked it to Coates and just barged on through to seal it for Melbourne. If anything Munster was more of the reason for it than Blore was but Coates sealed it for Storm and Blore is just Blore 😂😂 Olam might be older but I don’t regret that trade one bit and I think most on here do as well.
Let’s sign a centre/winger who is just above cup quality cause he tore up against our cup team of 19 year olds 😭 if we signed Schiller all that does is force a gun junior to leave
How long are we gonna pretend that Seyfarth is shit for? Everyone is gonna hate me for this but he is one of the best bench forwards in the game the agenda against him needs to stop a kid coming through the juniors and being a fan of the club his whole life finding success as a player at the club he loves should be celebrated but you all hate him
I saw him sprint 40m run jump catch the ball and score as easy as yiu like then swamped by his team mates all hugging him and congrats to him
Now don't go generalising putting everyone in the same thoughts & opinions
Alex is a great bench player - Benji realises this and he will use The Farth when necessary! Benji Won Kenoathby
Who exactly is the great junior centres that would leave?? Makaski has not committed to the club, Large seems to want to play in the halves and his parents all ready want him out of the club. So who are they????

KC, if any of our " gun juniors" leave because we sign someone "just above cup quality", maybe they don't really have what it takes to succeed.
