Brendan piakura 2nd row plays for norths, excellent player, just not in kevie Walters favourites club. He would be handy pick up. Telling Pascoe for years to align with a q cup side, the quality is fantastic

I think it’s central Queensland Capras. Dogs are aligned with Toowoomba
Ridiculous aye

Dolphins are with Capras
Actually it is good policy to support and develop ties with junior clubs in Qld,then of course you have our group of mental midgets running the club.We can't evem hang on to some of our better juniors

I beg to differ, and besides, they play different positions.
Taafe is not an NRL standard half, but goes well at fullback (even during his mid teens his coach at The Entrance Tigers had him playing in the #1)
Illias is a quality young halfback who’s performances in the finals have been eye catching.
Seen illias get caught out on the last play a few times, not a bad half but at this stage he’s not what the wt need to get out of this mess so letting him go wasn’t a bad idea

We could do worse than look at a few of those hard heads.
Re Forwards - before we start getting carried away with some of our lower grade forwards .Remember the lightweight arm grabbers got trampled in last few rounds Should rewatch some of those painful replays. No effort or technique .Stick an arm out ,Get brushed off and then what I can't forgive .Just stand there and watch opposing player race away .We tried in 2021 Tuki and 2022 Dias ,Matamua , Pole , Freebairn and with exception of Pole - perhaps
They were found wanting . We need a pack that tramples over the opposition not the other way around

I'm sure players don't know how to tackle the old way, they need to aim for the soft flanks above the hips and drive. They are coached to tie up the ball....thats ok but when you need to do a driving tackle they don't seem to know what to do.
Classic example is when muster tried to stop the winger from scoring in their last game...terrible.
Compare that to Korribeti (can't spell) a couple of games ago for the Wallabies...he nealy put the opposition into the grandstand. It wasn't perfect technique but he went low and hard and kept going.
Man I'd love him back for a cameo.
I know Victor Radley is sometimes a liability but he would put some steel into our pack. He has the full repertoire of tackling techniques and aggression. Are there anyone like him that are available?

Taafe is a half so is Hawkins both are better half's than Illias.
Penrith second rowers will run through Illias next week and expose that poor defence
Few ppl around who've done good even with most of their fam locked up or running around ganged up.
You'd be surprised my man.
Hope he can do it
