The absolute correct thing to do. Over to you Adam ?Will Doueihi take a lowball new contract offer? Maybe. Should Wests Tigers increase the offer? No. He's too big an injury risk. Let some other club take that risk
‘Give Des a chance’: David Fifita opens up on why he snubbed the Roosters
David Fifita has broken his silence on his decision to walk away from a $3.3 million deal with the Roosters to stay on the Gold Coast.www.smh.com.au
Now Fifita has backflipped I can’t see any way Chricton will leave Bondi.
I think it was almost solely getting another known big name
Before Saturday’s game everyone was commenting on the good combo Staines and Naden were building, then Benji moved Naden to the wing. It was a really bad move in hindsight and after one shocker everyone is calling for Naden’s sacking. Why not just put them back in the positions where they were previously performing pretty well?
Possibly a chance to take a long-term view. If our centres are going to be Olam & Turuva next season, it was a chance to see how Naden performs as a left wing.
Possibly but think he moves better on the right side.
I guess so, still a dumb move considering they were building something. Worry about next year later in the season and keep the working combos now while we still have a chance at winning a few games. These guys played together at Penrith and were pretty good. Naden is a better centre than winger by a long way.
Mooney set to re-sign with Raiders (DT).
Naden has always had good performances in him. Just always had plenty of shockers as well. They had 2 ok, not good, games that people were getting overly excited about and were getting carved up before moving Naden to the wing.
I’m not convinced Turuva was brought here to play in the centres.
2x brokens don’t make a fixed.
I'm just going off what Richo has said in a couple of interviews, referring to Turuva is a centre for us.
With Bennett pretty much done to Souths for 3 years (SMH), me thinks Kodi Nokorimi & Euan Aiken will be 2 off-contract to follow (possibly Averillo with their over-supply of outside backs next season).
Massive waste of his talent if true. Not known for his defence. Penrith's right edge has scored a lot with Turuva but also conceded heaps of tries. I'd be more willing to move King Bula to centre with Turuva at fullback
Naden will not be our NRL centre moving forward, I like watching him when he’s on, but his D is terrible, and in every position he has played and has a brain explosion every second week. Hard to believe he’s got any brain cells left to ignite he’s had so many explosions. We needed him when we got him, but he was always gunna be a stepping stone to a more reliable centre. He should have always been on a short contract and never extended but our roster management is as poor as our on field D.
We still need another NRL ready centre in the mix I reckon.
I can see Luke Lualilii being a first grade winger next year
Different players. Miller has displayed the effort your questioning when he was an oversized teen in the younger grades. Some of the HM wins are on the back of Miller putting up huge post contact meters and long minutes. Does that impact his defence, surely but I think your going off too early and on that note a player like Miller may appear physically capable of handling first grade in short stints but to be able to play the way he did in the juniors it would take far more minutes in Flegg and cup to adapt to that standard.
