Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We desperately needs someone who defends like an animal, can play as a 13 or 9 and give Api a desperately needed break each game.

I agree with this.

I said in the off season that Kit Laulilii should be training at 9 and 13 with the view to fill this role.

Just recently I'm thinking Justin Olam could do it. He is shot as a centre due to his knee, so put him on the bench and play him through the middle in short bursts. Train him to play hooker at a pinch of Api needs a rest. Remember Terry Hill moving to lock and being a revelation? Olam could do the same off the bench though.

Kit a possibility, but I have doubt over his finess levels and it effecting the intensity he plays with.
Olam’s body language and even his tone in recent interviews tells me he’s not too keen to push on moving forward.
Our best outcome with him would be a medical retirement.
Not sure if their is someone who tackles like a machine and can play 9 or 13 in the UK Super League ?

Why the bloody hell did Benji sign an injured 30 year old centre for 3 years. Melbourne don’t hand over players they want to keep.
