Sualii?

On his 1 year contracts?
Now sure, the guy has talent. He has some raw ability. But NO
No
we do not need a 1 season wonder.
Maybe there will crop up a season where our regular fullback will be injured and Sualii will fit the bill nicely.

Roosters bidding 1mil a season for a year by year contract player. Heck 1.2 1.3?
Honestly I would rather have Teddy. Sure you would get a slightly unenthused rep player. But you would know he would be there next year.

Parramatta shows you what to avoid, super money hungry players who won't take a 4k fine but ask for a 50k raise.

Sualii would be awesome but have to be a 5 year deal, long term. One year deals just means a circus starts around April every year, way to distracting and destabilising.

Are they though? When we resigned Brooks after 2018 on a huge $ deal did anyone know if he or Mitch Moses were the better player? Fast forward 4 years and we are thinking of repeating the past on a guy who has ‘proven’ himself in a top 4 team. What if he’s still the same guy who left us when he’s in a bottom 4 team? Another long term half on too much $!!!!

Twal is a highly effective but not an efficient tackler - which is excellent if you're a back!

He hits and sticks - but rarely halts momentum until a 2nd/3rd defender join him.

Forwards need more shoulder and grunt in their defence - Pole for instance has great technique & is far more efficient in that he needs less support to hit/stop the attacker and complete the tackle.

(Plus he'll tickle some ribs along the way unlike Twal who is all chest and arms in the tackle!)

Eh not really. Fullback spot and 700k over three years would be fine. If he wants that spot then he has.to take what is given.

He couldn't ask for crazy money, if he said he wanted 900k he would be laughed at, he hasn't proven himself as a fullback yet, if the Tigers get it across the line, we might pick up a decent fullback on a really good deal. Would be strange not paying overs though.

Moses was obviously the better player when he played with Brooks. Just watch the 2016 highlights to see how creatively Moses set up so many tries.

I remember them both as skilful guys with defensive issues in the early years. I think Moses is more vocal but not convinced he’s a million dollar guy.

I’d keep upgrading the forwards and go out and sign a young half with a lot more tomorrow’s.

Put it to him that's he's unproven. It's.a fair deal and will give him the chance to get involved more in the game. He's only young so will have another couple of contracts.after it.

With the benefit of hindsight people will always criticise. I like that the club have seen the error of their ways and our forwards are improving. I hope they don’t stop before we have a competitive pack. Otherwise the halves are inconsequential.

we just need to get rid of the clowns and hope the jugglers know their salary cap

I know a few blokes amongst the playing group preferred Brooks,
Moses being too erratic and the feeling was they never knew what they were gonna get from him.
Moses has really improved that part of his game in the last 18 months, Much calmer now and can handle the heat far better.....

I still have a question mark over him in big games. Failed in his only origin and now faltered in the finals a few years running. Take away his international forward pack and what exactly are you signing?
