Also Kayal Iro, his manager Smith is trying to push him to Super League as he cant get a run with the sharks. We need to be moving on nofo and getting kayal iro in this year

I think Wakeham needs a calming influence around him. He and Korisau played halves for Fiji at the WC, and API suggested signing him, so why not give that a go.
I’m sure it would work.
Brooks and Douhei are cancers that should be surgically removed.

At least he’s of a development age, not at the end of his career.
Iro is too good for super league and walks into our backline any day.....
Wonder if Staines will get an extension also.
Adding some pace to our backline is probably makes too much sense for our crew though...
1 Welsby/ Weekes
2 Tupou
3 Naden
4 Iro
5 Staines / new option - Ray Vaegea? Haze Dunster? Declan Casey? Sean Russel?

I felt the same T so looked him up. South’s junior 5/8 or 1/2 who played one first grade game last year.
Probably thought he had a big opportunity when Reynolds left but has been stuck
behind Ilias.
Don’t know anything about his footy but he’s a young guy so a development style player in a key position.
Others may know more.
South Sydney reserve grade halfback/captain.
He's 24, so not really young.
Decent reserve-grade level player, nothing more.

Agree with Iro
we could try and sign welsby for 2026 2027 2028 and then agitate for a release for 2025
Sean Russel goes OK
we need to sign some young blokes as we can't land a big fish
We could offer Hynes 1.4 million he probably wouldn't come here lol

played 4 games of nrl I think, be ji would also know him from time at souths. He will head to SL I reckon if we dont sign him. He goes OK better that Taafe as a 7.
If you look at Taafe he is a genuine 14

After Moses, Pearce etc 24 is still pretty young.
He can’t defend in the centres. He needs a sideline to help him out
not sticking up for adam, just saying the fact there are people that still back brooks is laughable at this stage, you must be trolling or something.

Hawkins is bog ordinary. If he is viewed as an answer our recruitment team are stuffed.

I didn’t think of Bateman at 13. Would prefer that over Jake. He could cause some havoc.

well didn't mention Brooks I made the comment Sheens said AD was the best fullback at the club the a week later he is I at 6
The AD acolytes then commented on Brooks being in the team....
if Sheens is serious give brooks the 6 and go get a 7
Agree with this

AJ started in the back row, moved to centre and now wing. Poor kid doesn’t know where he is from week to week. Pure Sheenius
They're both terrible. One gets paid double the other though

AD at fullback was a disaster. Wakeham at 1/2 didn't work either.
Not at all a fan of Brooks and AD in the halves. Sheens sees something we don't. I thought for sure after last week that AD would be dropped to initiate a huge attitude adjustment. I fully expected Brooks to be selected despite needing some time in cup to build some confidence.
I rewatched the game today, glutton for punishment I know, Had AD been in position and put his body on the line half of the Donkeys points don't get scored. Staines at the back my be quiet but he has the speed and attitude to play at the back. If he can position himself well and has the right attitude I think he can own the 1. He also has the speed to push up around the middle and support Api out of the ruck so that is a bonus.
AJ on the wing gives us a bit more punch bringing the ball back so I'm not overly concerned with that selection.
If AD pulls his head out of his arse and fixes his attitude now he is back at 6, and we can: complete our sets; cut out the mistakes; and improve our discipline we may compete. If AD continues to be a spectator with limited interest in the game we will be toweled up.
I am interested to see what happens in Cup this weekend. Time to do a bit of experimentation to see what could be unearthed. I would like to see Sheens throw Daino into the halves and try a couple of combinations over the next few weeks. He may be the X factor, may not too, but if we don't give it a crack we will never know. If he did train in the halves during the off season, as has been suggested, the combinations shouldn't be too hard to build.
