He is terrible

Agree....This guy is horrendous.

Waqa Blake is terrible. He is parras worst player please

Parra the GF with his inability to be able to play. Gutherson had to work extra to cover him.

I’m not saying he is a world beater. But he is a power athlete and is super quick. Para use him terribly. He needs early ball like we give Naden. Blake has a very strong running game.

I think we need a better fullback than Kennedy.

We have been making marginal improvements with fullbacks since teddy left but it's still one of our biggest weaknesses.

Lolo - Mbye - AD - Laurie - Staines

RTS is my pick, would make such an impact here for 3 years and would give time for Bula to develop in Reggie's or playing wing/centre in firsts until RTS finishes up.

 

[Odessa]

Jail bait she was 18 and he was 22

How would Greg Marzhew go as a 5/8?
He’s an ex junior Kiwi. Plays wing for Knights this weekend, watching him run with the ball you could be forgiven for thinking it’s Panthers winger T’o’o.

Very good winger, I don’t think playmaking is his strong point.
Braydon Trindall signed with the Sharks until 2025, BUT his profile has risen massively since then.
I doubt he signed for any more than 200k, with the shortage of quality halfbacks I’d say his value could now be as high as 500k.
I don’t know anyone who would not kick and scream to get out of a 200k contract when someone else is offering them 500k ?
Still much cheaper than MM and probably a better option as he’s still young and hungry to succeed.

RE Jayden... okonbur

The players Girlfriends are safe. .....

Look, the guy did something Stupid. He chased Jail bait. No one is dating jail bait!

Honestly.... If it is that one single thing.. Let him in Providing he does a full apology and restitution. NRL is letting him in, Why should we have to loose out on a player.

Heck Todd Carney and Greg Bird seemed to be shopped everywhere. Matt Lodge had no problems coming back, but we get no compensation...

I would rather the NRL have a standard that if a player misbehaves they get locked down to a club.... If the kid can play, he can play.

He is a terrible footballer,the dopey dogs can keep him

I'd be over the moon if we had a fullback that was only as good as Kennedy.

 

[Fingers83]

Agree on both fronts. Their combined value would be under a million I reckon. Nailing FB and HB spots in one fell swoop. Drop the MM chase and take a walk in the shire. Both are proven first grade footballers.

Don't understand the criticism going Will Kennedy's way. He improves YoY like Dylan Edwards has at Penrith.

I would look to plunder the Sharks with big money offers to Kennedy and Trindall. Get them across; makes us look significantly better already. Probably get them both for less than the Moses offer.

“Parra use him terribly” and you think we have smart enough cattle to unlock the few good points in Waqa’s game?
We need players that can preform in their own right without needing to be shown how.
Kennedy is not a bad call though.

 

[Tito Santana]

He can be a bit hot and cold but there is no denying he has speed and power.
Would line up alongside Naden as our best centre at the club.

Naden has one of the centre positions nailed down. I rate him.

 

[Buttface]

I agree with both of you, yeah I wanna FB better than Kennedy, like teddy or RTS, but Kennedy is better than what we have and also a go’er who doesn’t stop on a play, and is available at the end of the season.
Still I think we give stains the FB role for the rest of the year and hopefully he can be our man. Save the extra money for a new 6/7.

 

[Fingers83]

Absolutely. He has been excellent to start the season. Across the trials and in the indigenous all stars game.

In defence and in attack I think he has been pretty good.

When was the last time you saw Parramatta give early ball to their centres?
Does Joey Manu receive the ball late when running through a hole? No he receives it early so he can use his speed and footwork to gain an advantage.
A bit like Staggs, absolutely wasted if you do everything up until the final pass.
You’re right though on Doueihis side he’d likely receive the ball late and flat and won’t have too many opportunities to use his running game.
Anyway it’s just a rumour, I’m just suggesting how it could benefit us if it happened.

 

[Fingers83]

He is still pretty limited. You can’t just shovel him the ball and expect something to happen. That’s what we need more than anything.

I actually think he has shown he can do that, when he is given early ball. He just doesn't get it enough from our halves.

 

[Hbom]

Blake in, then who goes out?

Tommy to have a chance to rebuild his game in NSWCup

Staines is still young, and done nothing wrong like the other two pretenders. I can only think that he wants out , and Sheens can't extend him, thus to the wing. It's the only thing that makes sense. The side looked good with him out the back, and the extension of AD and Laurie and not Staines makes no sense unless he's going elswhere !

You might be forgetting the part where every player that sets foot at Concord loses 50% of their playing ability.
