Is Will Smith going to be our new modern day hero. Could it be Sheens has found a modern version of Daniel Fitzhenry.

This Jordan Miller better be good man the way some people are going on about him otherwise Tito will be throwing out some flying elbows left right and centre. They will then be covered in rice and beans for their troubles - home brand too. Not this Egels stuff.
A backup for FB, AD and Laurie don't cut the mustard. A 5/8, AD and Hastings the same. A backup for 9 . He may be a bit slower now, but he was a class above our present lot, and for little money a wise buy. Our aim is for 2024 onwards, not 2023, Don't be surprised if he ends up at 5/8 over the others.
Yeah what happened to pathways or rep players?
The only outsiders should be rep stars or up and coming stars.
Not 30 year old reserve graders.

Most of the good juniors are 15 to 17 age need time to develop.
Remembering the under 21 age bracket have been heavily covid impacted.
I wouldn't knock what the club are doing in junior pathway space.

we already have those roles filled in our top 30 though, thats the issue.
Saukuru, Tumeth, Fainu and Reilly will all be on the minimum wage. How many 'passengers' like that can you include in your top 30 though? Woods would be on more like 200k, and be a role player if he joins.
He isn't in our top 30, he has a train and trial deal.
It's actually nothing of note but they probably mentioned it because he is a NRL experienced player. Could be good for the young brigade coming in and helping out the NSW Cup strength.

Exactly MT. Plenty of experience and very handy. Will be playing NSW Cup. Some forumers on here need to relax.

Let's call it for what it is. A great depth signing for train and trial. Solid experience to go with the other young guys on there.
People who are assessing this like he's part of the run on squad aren't looking at it right.

My only question is that I see elsewhere someone said T&T get $1000 a week.
$52k not much to survive on these days ?

Has Sheens told him that ?

Agreed. Doing it for the love of football I guess.

Smith will essentially take Nu Brown’s place from 2022 in the extended squad.
By the wording in the release, Smith is on a full season Train & Trial (WT already have 9 players on these type of deals). T&Ts are $1,000 a week which are included in the second tier cap.

I was being sarcastic
Smith agreed to our terms, it probably highlights how astute this business actually is.
