So two years to learn the game in NSW Cup cup and he can make his NRL debut at 30… peak Wests Tigers outside back age.., will be able to then play outside 32 yr old Olam in 2026

One of our Top 30 players .. centre .. Solomone Saukuru .. the stats says he is a 185cms tall (which is about bang on 6 feet) but weighs in at 115KGs .. now thats a big unit for a centre .. is his weight a typo .. ??

This thread has gotten so toxic. If you want to feel sad, this is the thread to come to.
Anyway, I wasn't expecting player 30 to be a million dollar player. He's a risk but it's in a position of need and it's only a 1 year contract from what I can tell so the risk is minimal. Let's see how he goes.

He looks way taller in the preseason photos, but also not that heavy.
Certainly looks like a big unit though. I asked if he was any good and a few of those in the know said he was a little way off being ready, may not ever be.

Thanks bro
So, who are these people in the know? I think Benji may know better.
I hope you’re right about Alaimalo. I’m not as confident as you are but time will tell.
At least as you say we will have some tall outside backs to provide an aerial threat, as well as a halfback who can put the kicks where they need to be.

@KingRobbie thoughts on him making it in the NRL?
Who gives a rats about his age as long he is performing at a high level. There has been any number of players peform at that age. You really are glass half empty sort of person

He has shifted to Luai. I heard Luai met with Laundry for dinner on the weekend. Usual Bullshit of selling the Bullgrubs as a fantastic destination.

List for me the “any numbers of players” who have moved to the NRL with no RL background at 28 and have been successful…

They need AFB more than we do. I'd much rather sign Terrell May from Roosters who is young and guaranteed to be an absolute beast

Here are a few articles on Solomon Alaimalo from the past few years.
Covers his battle with mental health, his rookie of the year award last season, how highly he was rated back in 2019 & being an aerial specialist.
I'm loving how often the words 'fast' and 'aerial' are used & must be in a good head space with support networks now to deal with the rigours of professional football.

Interesting if true. My source said Luai met with Dolphins on the weekend up in Brisbane. Must have done both in two days
Klem or Stef to bulldogs maybe on a load cheaper deal?

He doesn't want to leave Sydney. I don't think the Dolphins would be an option. Unless his management want to use them to bump his price up?
Dogs are definitely keen. Gould is a shifty bastard

You were right in that Cody Beau Walker was definitely 27 when Cody Walker debuted for South's. Nothing to see here 😏
