Young guns like Moses/Brooks? That worked out well. An experienced head is exactly what we need at halfback someone who will mentor the young guns coming through. If we have the opportunity to pursue Hunt and don't we have completely lost the plot.

1st Moses had more up size than SJ or hunt , I never mentioned brooks , on the other part of ur statement we don’t have any young guns in our ranks for them to learn of anyone , so we are back to square one

Please do not call my comment dumb and then come at me with a dumb comment. He does not need to disclose it, but it isn't like he was told not to as our other players had no problems answering the question. I am making my comment based on what the man himself said and not some wild theories about xyz.

As I said in another comment, there is no coincidence that Brooks plays the best when the gameplan is simple. The gameplan was simple due to the rain. They played the way that you are taught to play i.e., Run hard, tackle hard and hold the ball, I am sure he did not need to be listening to execute this gameplan. I also didn't say he doesn't listen to anything or anyone, but I do believe he would be mentally drifting in and out of conversations.

Exactly FTB,” he plays the best when the gameplan is simple”.
I rest my case .

I agree, our biggest weakness is we lack someone who creates.

What about John Schuster? He has plenty of skill and size, and he's young with good pedigree

It would surprise me if he gets released for next season the way Manly are playing without him.

The comp really highlights a shortage of attacking punch style halves currently.

Hunt is not an option for us. People need to get that into their heads. He will no join us.

He's already stated (indirectly) that if he moves he wants to win a premiership. He's been on a million bucks a year for a while now, he wants to win, not take the cash. All we have to offer is $$. Maybe if we offered him 1.2-1.3 million he may consider us if no winners were taking an interest, but i imagine a club like the Roosters would be all over him and get him for 600k.

Have you watched the roosters lately ?

Except in the character stakes!!

I'd prefer either of those blokes on that measure alone....

Get over Mitch - he and his proven cap-cheating uncle have played the Tigers off a break TWICE - and you're still pining for a him like a co-dependent abuse victim!

Seriously the roosters are a bunch of overrated players who don’t play well together and likely right on the cap.
It’s time to stop giving them more respect then their dues and that should start here on our forum. Why would we hope players look to come here if our own fans don’t rate us. We have a lot going for us and it’s time to get on board . The roosters can jam it, hope the dragons beat them this week and we can watch them turn on their coach and eat each other.

Bula is an athlete, a runner. Ballplaying has never been one of his key strengths. He's put in a couple of grubbers which have been good, great to have that option, but he's never demonstrated any advanced passing or kicking game. He's played his career in the centres and on the wing, and recently at fullback.

He has a completely different skillset to Hynes, who is an elite halfback.

How many times have you watched him play?
 
balmain boy said:
I'm not his dad, havent watched him hundreds of times, but at least 10 or so matches. Given how few he's played at WT that's a decent sample size, but not complete by any means.I admit

Bula is a great young talent, but he has not mastered ball playing or even drawing and passing at pace just yet.
Fullbacks are vital in the attacking play and points scored for every NRL team, when we are scoring limited or zero points, our fullback is as much to blame as anyone else.
I really think Bula should be eased in to NRL as a winger, maybe initially use him as a fullback in defence, but as a winger in attack, swapping with Daine Laurie, moving Nofa or Tupou into the centres.
