Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Centre is a tough position to defend. Young Feledy will learn from that and be better for it. In saying that, imo there was no better defender in the centres than ET, also had exceptional pace. His first year he couldn't tackle at all and worked hard in the off season to the point where he was known as the best defensive centre in the rugby league. It should be an inspiration to all young players.

Feledy is super strong. He looks unfit to me. Needs to trim down about 5kg. I'm sure he will stay strong but greatly improve is lateral movement as a result if he does that.

Feledy has a really good combination with Jay Kirk. This should be nurtured with a view to both progressing as a pair. We should be able to produce our own junior wingers without going to market. The cap won't allow a balanced team otherwise.

Luke Laulili’i is the guy. he’s on development next year and will fly thru the grades. Australian Schoolboy at 17. ultra quick and devastatingly powerful. his carries out of his own end are To’o-esque. he is the one.

It's good to read WTs has identification, retention and development going well. I admire all the work put in at the junior level to develop these players even the mums and dads who turn up to train and manage the boys and girls.

I like Karnib as well from that side. Any talk re his progression?
Good to hear Laulili’i is on development contract.
Has good ball skills to.

Bradman Best was burned three times on the outside by our players including Bula during the WTs' game. Is that a huge red flag for an Origin player?
Best had a dream origin game, in all honesty did anyone expect him to do that in an origin game.

I'm sure every Blues supporter hoped like hell that he didn't have a shocker and get a whole 10 minutes to show his wares like Nicho and Steff did before getting hooked.

Let's face it the dynamic duo of Fittler and Brandy got really lucky with that selection and I guess just going on the balance of probabilities you are bound to get lucky once in a while and it doesn't have to have anything to do with being a great coach or being a genius at spotting talent.

Not saying Best won't go on to be a great player but let's face it, things like people having a stand out game happens from time to time, look at Starford Toa owning Valentine Holmes, shows he has ability and the potential to be a great player but being consistent, keeping your head in the game, and producing it week to week is another matter just like being equally good at defence as you are at attack.

He is 21 years old mate.

Barely at the beginning of his career and he was sensational in the origin arena. One of the best young centres going around. He'd walk into our side.

Probably 2 years away from realising his true potential which would happen to be when we picked him up - if we're actually able to close out a deal with him.
