Players with most to gain from NRL free agency... and the verdict on where they land

$1m legacy question Luai can’t hide from; utility’s harsh truth: Verdict on NRL’s star free agents

Would love to see Tass in the centres

??? LOL he’s in his first season of NRL . Covid , basketball , injuries etc. the guy is gassed .
Man some of you guys are the very definition of arm chair . Some absolute horrendous takes on here .
What have you done for me lately ? Huh ? The season was 2 months ago . Some serious goldfish on here

What a stupid, arrogant post.
Of course he requires help with fullback play.
That’s not armchair, that’s a comment on professional development.

I still think bula will be a solid player , but when see the two kids from the titans and storm killing it , bula looks very ordinary, that’s why I think papa coming here to teach bula his trade would be great for the kid

I don't believe Papa can make Bula a better player. I think Papa could add to our team though. If anything I think Papa is more of a risk than Bula due to injuries.

I also don't think Bula looks ordinary. I'm hopeful he'll become a really good first grader and I'm fine with the club giving him an overpaid contract at this point in his career. He was one of our best players last year.

If we could sign Tass and swap Nofa for Cotric we’re a much better team imo.

That statement makes you look completely clueless

Original post said “Bula looks very ordinary”. Surely that’s a piss take

 

[Betterdays22]

There is no reasoning with viewpoints like this.

View points like what?

 

[twentyforty]

I see, it’s getting tense.
Only a week to go before we start signing some big names 😂

Id avoid tass any player playing on the left edge for south’s looks like the greatest centre on earth then they get to a club like ours and they look like a plodder

Yes. He is raw though and could be turned into something great with some help.
Chuck some money at Slater to mentor him.

I reckon Aitken he has been mentioned about coming to us a few times over. Played with Benji at St George and is an experienced ‘defensive minded’ centre.

And objectively terrible.

 

[Kelce68]

And what have we done , put our whole future on kids , god help us

Yawn.

 

[Krammy]

November 1, all the guesswork will be put to rest. I would love to see us pick up Connor Treacy - and hopefully get him early. I would play him in the centres.

 

[AdelaideTiger]

I have a feeling that we won't see all that much change this off season.
I think at most we will see a combination AJ, Simpkin, Naden and maybe Tumeth moved on and not really backfilled with anyone to get too excited about, although I'm hoping we resign Staines with one of those spots.

Agree, plus Pap is made of glass.

So are you saying we avoid centres who have been part of successful backlines? Apart from the hiring of our coach, isn’t that what we’ve been doing? Has it been working?

How about we get him a FB coach instead. If we think he can be that good then invest in him, pay what ever it takes to get slater here for the off season.

Wasn't too long ago Daine Lauries' deficiencies at Fullback couldn't be pointed out without getting howled down with many of the same justifications I'm seeing for Bula now....

I like Bula, Good kid with infinite potential....
But he's a million miles from where we need him to be.
And unlike most other young kids coming into grade at other clubs
- He'll have no where to hide at WT's,
Very little back up - On the park, and should he need a spell from Firsts like all kids do...
and, not many blokes to help him through the next 2 years.

In what area is he a million miles from where we need him to be .Be specific

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Bula is a work in progress for sure but he’s way beyond the promising stage for me
His defensive plays this year show me he’s a smart footballer not just a gifted athlete
International experience, a full off season and hopefully a better performing team in front of him, I’m thinking he’ll lift considerably on what we’ve already seen
