I hear you Bob, Like push AD out to the centres. Would cover the injury however it would also nulify the 2 running 5/8s that occur when Jacko is playing the hybrid lock/half role. A good soluion in a bind nonetheless. Like the way you think mate!

Not really cos you only need the 2 5/8s in attack

I think with hasting playing lock, in attack he will be playing first receiver, pushing the halves to second receiver either side of the ruck spreading the defensive line Hence what also appears to be a more mobile pack. I think the game plan will be very fast and attacking and looking forward to it.

I live in the hope that our Wests Tigers DNA will come in the shape of Tedesco returning & Dylan Brown coming as 5/8 in '24

Teddy is still as impactful on games as ever, his leadership for attack & defence from the back on a young team would be huge & he would attract others. C'mon Roosters, work on a severance package so you can keep Suaali!!!

A spine of Tedesco - Brown - Brooks - Korisau all of a sudden brings speed & x-factor!

Still finished second in the Dally ms and that’s playing in a team full of stars so it’s not a fair fight. He’s the best player in the world and it’s not even close. Don’t understand how some don’t see it. If Teddy would come back we’d be a top eight side with the addition of one strong middle.

If we played differently we could have negated a fair bit of that, we were just dump and one out rucking the ball asking no questions, that's great with a big pack that can punch holes in the line.
What we needed to do because of our smaller forwards was base our game on 2nd, 3rd, 4th phase play. Keep the opposition forwards moving while we slowly eat metres by promoting the ball to the next guy. This will take a fair bit of juice out of the opposition's pack making our life in defence a hell of a lot easier.

Penrith play an expansive style using their classy outside backs to gain yardage which frees up their awesome forward pack to absolutely tear the hinges off in defense. Whichever way you play you need an intimidating forward pack. Rugby league is not for fairies.

Bateman's form is very unimpressive and he would not be cheap,when you add a 350k transfer fee on that you are talking around about 1 million for him.That would be the biggest waste of money in the history of the NRL imho.Hopefully the club told them no in the most emphatic way possible

The 350 doesn’t go against the cap. We need second rowers and he is a quality one at his best. The old bean counter will probably pick up another peachey instead.

There is an article listing the Top U15s in Australia and many of them are WTs' players including the Onitonio Large 5/8, Ashton Large hooker, Alex Isdale half, Ali Karnib 5/8, Peter Taai second row, Heamasi Makasini centre, There is also a host of other young players - Conti, Kanaan, Lowandos in the juniors. A poster the other day advised the two St Josephs College wingers Malloy and Minto are also WTs.

I'm sure our scouts are out there trying to sign players like Faagutu from Brisbane who from all accounts is an X factor player. I'm not sure what more you want?

Nah, we should sign whomever is willing to join us. Beggars can't be choosers.
Traditionally we aim high, think we're close, only to withdraw once it's apparent they're playing us. If someone says yes I'll sign we sign them

No doubt, we just havnt really had an intimidating forward pack for a decade.
We have a decent crop of young forwards, just need more guidance and experience

If you run an eye over the top 4-6 teams it’s very clear that’s where we are lacking. Deardon just took a team to a prelim final. Forwards win you games in our sport which is actually a surprise to some. Did Joey or Alfy ever play behind bad forwards?
