They won‘t come close to dominating the game with how this club is run.

💯 batboy.
Some of our forwards have put in a good consistent season, but not many are willing to charge onto the ball and really dent the defence and not many willing to get off their line fast and whack the opposing ball runners.

Would say May/Tago are the starting centres with Peachy backing up.
To'o would be guaranteed one wing, with Turuva/Jenkins and supposedly Staines fighting for the otherside. Honestly Staines going back doesn't make a whole heap of sense unless someone else is on the move.

I reckon he'll stay at Penrith. Much better for his career.

No clue.... if I was a betting man it would be Seizer 6 and Sullivan 7.
Fainu to get some games in Cup and slowly transition him to 6 mid year (similar to Bula)
Wish the Powers to be , our on the same wave link , he would give , our backline the biggest boost , any chance of getting into benji ear

I think it's pretty likely that he'll play 6 outside Sezer as an apprenticeship with Fainu starting the year in Cup. the fact that WT said that they want to build a team around Sullivan tells you all you need to know. they see him as the long term 7 at this point and will prepare him as such.
this is why the Sezer option is great business, because if we think Sullivan is ready we can move Sezer on, whereas if he isn't ready or is not performing up to standard we can keep Sezer.
But what if Sezer isn't up to standard?
Stef does some damage running the ball from his sheer size and mobility, but he very rarely gets deep and hits top speed when running onto the ball.
He is capable of being one of the very best props in the game IF he’s prepared to get deeper and run onto the ball harder.
Klemmer hasn’t run the ball his hardest since he left the Bulldogs, so highly unlikely he will do it ever again,
I’ve got huge doubts about Sezer also.
No club in the UK want him, we are the only NRL club interested in him.
I hope I’m wrong, but I can’t see it ending well if we do sign him,
I dont watch much ESL to make a fair judgement but for the same reasons as you plus concerns about our coaching staff I'd honestly be shocked if it ends well.
He only performs in his 2nd stint. He should be coming off the bench.

like they do with Brooks....
When the whole side is running the ball hard and tackling hard like how they played against the Cowboys at Leichhardt, ordinary halves can look very good such as Wakeham on that night,
So just maybe the far bigger problem than our halves is how the team around them plays.
Players such as Jayden Sullivan and Latu Fainu will cut the opposing team to pieces if their team is winning the physical battle in attack and defence, but it’s every chance they like Brooks will look like chooks with their heads cut off if their team mates are losing the physical battle.

Spewing if Staines is on the move. One of our few decent backs.

No he wouldn't. Taylah May is to redmturn to replace Crighton
We will be stuck with Naden, Nofa & Keparoa who either don’t try or couldn’t run out of sight on a dark night.
