So what next?

Who is the best second rower in Rugby League?

You're looking at him.

I remember that interview with Joey. To think at the time some people actually believed him!!!

That’s not true

Each to their own. I reckon it is.

Unfortunately I am guilty of having great expectations at the time.

In retrospect, I wish that fire works or whatever it was at the start of the Grand Final had of blown his fat useless head off. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Guess who!

Just watched the Raw Interview with young Solomon from Easts Tigers , very well spoken young man who I feel may surprise a few by mid season , seems like he is only worried about improving as he knows he was well behind our other players in pre season as he arrived late , but I seen some footage and he was good in Q cup and yes it’s not NRL but he could become a very handy addition , Smokey for the season watch this space

Guys he’s a good player , will be real handy. In my personal opinion only, way better than toa, or anything else we have - well apart from a fit and focused olam. Just don’t place Mitchell, holmes, talakai expectations on him.

If Luc is worth 900, Fifita is worth 2 million.

Wonder what his manager is in because he aint wprth over 500k tbh.

Cant defend for the life of him and gets gassed 50 min in.

High praise… I note he is 23 … any reason why he hasn’t made it already ? Late bloomer ?

And if Richo wasn’t here, he still wouldn’t have a contract.

FYI, not saying there was anythimg untoward about his signing, but his manager took advantage of a personal connection, and if it wasn’t for that, where would he be?

Pretty tough going cracking into the Melbourne storm line up. Worked a lot on his defence. He improved every year in q cup. Fins and cows offered him train and trial deals as well.

Fair point, negative way too look at it, think u might find a lot of managers using connections to their advantage ? shhesh lucky we beat all them clubs signing toa, big race that one .

Of course. Not saying there is anything wrong with it. Just pointing out the reality.

Anyone know who our external recruitment targets are for next year?

I would hope an outside back. Not sure there is much quality available. Would have said we should go all out for Manu, but he’s off to France.

we got him already - Luia…

We are looking at who is going to be available in 2026 now … I see Reece Walsh is on the market for 2026 ..

Push him out to the wing?

 

[Hbom]

Heard we got someone for 25. Sorry don't know who or position. I am trying to work out who it might be.

Or Bula to center ?

If Bula continues on the ascent, I wouldn’t screw around with him.
