Do we write off this year ? Blood all the juniors everyone’s arguing about and be ready to give it a major crack in 2025?

No way - as Richo said, recruitment plus winning as many games too.

We might have 2 speed it up & let the cream rise
2 the top, go hard in the player market for 2025
and see who's standing up mid-year. Don't think
Galvin is a chance 2 start or even play off the bench

This is the biggest turnaround in emotions from a post-season to a pre-season I've ever experienced. The amount of changes we've been through is incredible. We went from not being able to land a half, to 2 great halves juniors, then a marque along with a whole bunch of other talent. Not to mention the coach, board, and management changes!

I had very little hope for us anytime soon at the end of 2023, but it's a whole new ball game now.

He'll partner Fainu in cup with Tallyn at hooker,
I think we'll start the season conservative with
maybe Lobb 2 start in nofa's place. Bench will
be hard 2 pick. Trials are just around the corner
someone is bound 2 put their hand up in a month

AD has had a lot of injury problems, hopefully Benji can share some experience,

Sorry. I.was taking about Nofa
Jury out on Douhi 2025...we have no room in the inn for halves,his preferred position..injury prone recent history coupled with mediocre foRM and inconsistent effort..unless he shows something later this season he'll be part of the clean out,good guy that he may be
When u have consecutive spoons,difficult decisions are not just expected,but demanded

Think Naden and Staines will start on the wing...unless Nofa kills it at training.
More likely to kill the coach
Tupuo behind
Lobb and the rugby guy,contingent on trials form

You heard it here first . Fainu to partner Tallyn. Official.

With all this talk of Galvin sounding like the second coming of Christ, I honestly hope he does well whenever he gets the call up because if he doesn't, knowing this forum he's probably (most likely) going to be crucified on here 😂

Unlimited interchange in the trials (preseason
challenge) we should be able 2 see everyone
play after a few games..just need 2 pick our best
squad, even if it's tupou on a wing or blore on the
bench have 2 go hard in 2024 & builld momentum

Lol. Generational talent. He's no Brenden Santi

Generational talent or not, this kid will still get crucified from our experts lol I'm just hoping he exceeds like most of our juniors

All we want is a Bula like introduction to 1st grade, if and when it comes.

Blores gone Kaito

I do essentially agree with a lot of what you have said there except the part about much less rehearsed.
I believe it is in fact much more rehearsed. This is practiced over and over until the players are so fine tuned to the plays that they can fall into positions and run the right lines at the necessary intensity the moment the numbers dictate it.

Sorry I meant scripted rather than rehearsed.

 

[Kaito]

Blores gone Kaito

That's right smh. Point stands, pick the best squad

 

[Kelce68]

Does this read as all capitals to you?

Are you having a stroke?

Is there a metallic taste in your mouth?

Oh dear, you misread the comment. At no point did I mention capitals, as, for my light-hearted 'yelling' comment to be effective, it only need refer to the exclamation marks, as they are sufficient in portraying the act of yelling via a post.

Capital letters are not required.

So, question circumventing aside, once more, why are you yelling?

 

[Needaname]

Fiji have Ron Massey Cup standard players representing them too.

Turuva was their fullback in the World Cup. He (Bula) has already done a fair effort to force Turuva to the wing / centres.

Just being emphatic

Good luck to your Chiefs - but Kittle should have been all-pro ahead of your namesake this season!

Might see you once again in the SB
