Finally some great news for us long suffering WT fans signing Latu and Samuela Fainu.
I would like WT to now extend the contracts of Bula, Blore, Staines, Pole, James, Seyfarth, Wakeham (need depth for injuries) and any other promising junior coming through the ranks.
Now need a quality centre or two (speed and can defend) and half back (who has experience and great game management).
Our forward pack looks good and with James and Pole part of the prop rotation I think we are well stocked. I believe Samuela is a second rower so should add to the forward pack.
I am a big fan of Shaun Blore and in recent weeks has proven what a good player he can be injury free. I don't know what his best position in the pack is. Maybe off the bench with Pole, James and Da Silva next season.
I would love the club to say goodbye to AJ, Naden. Laurie and Jake Simpkin at season's end. Not good enough for NRL. Maybe the Eels can take Simpkin for the rest of the season in a player swap for a back. I would even pay out Adam Doueihi's contract as it would be hard for him to come back after all the injuries plus I have never really rated him.
What is the deal with Justin Matamua. Is he the real deal or just another forum "God of State Cup" (We have had so many of this hyped up Gods of State Cup over the years).
Is Josh Feledy a player who can step up in 2024 as a quality centre we have been lacking?
I think To'a can continue to develop into a strike weapon and just needs a good winger along side him.
Still would like to see the Board and CEO changed and Sheens moved on to Director and let Benji and his team start to develop the team for success in 2025.
