Wasn't having a shot at you at all. Just adding on from your comment is all.

And yeah I know it's the done thing now. Just seems a bit rich sulking that someone is slagging your kid off, and then go on to slag another kid off because your kid is being criticised. Doesn't make sense to me.

Ok… I agree it’s not good form bagging out another kid

We need to sign passionate club men who want to further themselves not flashy players with ego on big $

Hypothetically who would you suggest?
I have no idea whether or not Lomax has an ego, it's clear he's treading water at saints and is frustrated a change may do him well. Whether jumping out of the frypan into the fire so to speak here would be enough is anyones guess. But i don't think you can argue he's a top centre, not elite but definitely up there with the better ones.

Good news if it's true. I'll wait until the announcement though, we've been burnt enough.

Johns mentioned in the game last week he worked with Latu and his body is ready now for NRL so I imagine he'll be playing NRL next year.

Assuming we end up with Sezer, I'd hope there is another NRL quality half signed that is an improvement on Wakeham. Perhaps that is Brodie Croft but I'm not sure he's worth 500k.

If manly release the brothers do we throw him into 5/8 , just to get use to playing nrl , as it won’t make any difference, I know a lot don’t like putting a 18 year old into the fire , but with no pressure on him it would give him a taste with only 6-7 more games , and the old saying if ur good enough ur old enough

Would be good for him, No pressure a few games to give him a taste then a full preseason with the squad before next year. Might have to go in and out of first grade though if his body starts to burn out learning to cope with the daily n.r.l grind. Like what Tupou is going through now.
 
The pair are due to join the Tigers from November 1 and are seen as two of the best youngsters in the game after Latu, a five-eighth, and Samuela, a forward, performed strongly in NSW’s under-19s State of Origin victory last week.

While Canterbury never weighed in with an offer for the pair despite club supremo Phil Gould’s visit to their incarcerated brother Manase in prison, trumping the Dolphins’ own four-year offers for the pair is a sorely-needed win for the joint-venture.

I think it's just how he comes across @teddy23 that kind of arrogance, all-about-me persona plus being part of the Dragons covid breach barbecue & throwing one too many flick passes that don't come off. I had the same opinion of him but I have heard opinions that he is a really good team mate, very good trainer & Benji rates him so I'll take that over my opinion.

I wonder if we can get them across pre-August 3 deadline. We can trade Tommy Talau which gives us 2 spots in our roster.
