Sure have....
Isn't it you that bang on about us signing the gods of state cup?
He's just another one.

We have centres coming through... I'd be going for top liners.
As I said, If we need one of IP's flatmates - Lets get the good one.

How many does he have ?

This is just to keep IP happy.
Like when we brought Simpkin AND Hoffman down from QLD.

Or Latrell and Shaq....

Could be the difference in a happy IP or not....

Neither of those examples worked out. Ice is a big boy. Doesn’t need his hand held.

I don’t think To’a is our fastest player, but speed is definitely a problem in our outside backs.

Just curious

Who are our good centres coming through

Besides Tupou as he could potentially be a great fullback
 
Some promising forwards coming through, but our halves and fullback are not first grade standard. We all know that the spine, 1 .6. 7 and 9 are critical. 9 is covered for 2023 , but Hastings, Douehie and Brooks will not take us forward. Forget the rose coloured glasses,we need to find better. But they are as rare as an honest politition.

Saukura, Ogden is around...
Talau,Toa.... Even Roberts.
As I said - There's guys that can fill those spots in ressies...
We need top liners.

Roberts, Toa, Tupou aren't top liners...
Junior has barely learned to speak in 20 years - He won't be an NRL fullback in this lifetime.

We currently don't have any playing in our top 3 grades.

Feledy (Flegg) is joining us next season from Manly
Dotoi is a fast and exciting outside back, Australian schoolboy rep, that the club has denied a development pathway this year. He should be starring in Flegg every week right now.

As I have stated before throw $800,000 at sulasi for fullback. Would be hard to knock back, even with KFC’s brown paper bags. Even in our juniors we don’t have any one coming through that plays fullback like him.
Sheens make it happen!

We'd have to offer at least 1.1 million to enter the discussions. Possibly even more.

I wonder why they are holding Dotoi back

We need a much better, franchise type FB like: Tedesco, T Trbojevic, Papenhuyzen, Ponga or Walsh.
But, the first thing first - we have to start from the foundation, we need to make sure we get to the opposition's 20m consistently!
So we need at least 3 aggressive, powerful props like: J Papalii, Haas, Jr Paulo, Saifiti, Fanua-Blake, Fisher-Harris etc.

I don’t see Tupou being a fullback, he doesn’t talk so can’t see him organizing defensive lines let alone being effective in attack. He also gets snapped when he runs straight so needs some size/muscle.

Hes still only young it would be super intimidating trying to to tell grown men where to go on a football field give him some time to grow into his body and give him plenty of time at fullback in reserve grade he can be a star he has a touch of class about him
