Realistically what would you pay for To’o to come down here? Honestly I wouldn’t be upset at a $700,000 -$800,000. Maybe 800 is a bit too much but gosh what he’d do for us would be enormous. My only reason for that price is the confidence I have in him performing for us especially with Luai here. We are desperate and Too is one of the greatest wingers we’ve ever seen.

Current origin winger, yeah I'd be happy if the club threw him 800k.... Don't forget he'd be playing alongside guys he has played grand finals with...
 
This guy is worth a look for a Train & Trial contract in the pre-season. Plays for Easts Tigers in the QRL Hostplus Cup (NSW Cup equivalent), Richo's team, played 7 games this season for 9 tries, average run metres nearly 200m. 22 years of age, missed a season 22 or 23 due to injury.

Ronald Philitoga (Wing) - 185cm, 94kg - https://www.qrl.com.au/players/qrl-premiership/brisbane-tigers/ronald-philitoga/

I dont think you're far off. Dylan Edwards always takes the hitup before the 5th tackle because he was not going to be in the defensive line anyway so it doesn't draw a chaser out of the line for the kick chase.

Essentially, they are always chasing with 12 players, whereas if your prop took it up, he would be lingering back after the play the ball.

Then you have To'o doing loads of work, along with Edwards, Tago, Alamoti, Turuva and May contributing heavily.

Perhaps that's why their defence is so good...their bigger guys are just more fresh from a reduced workload in attack?

Now go back and watch us play in early games in 2018. Eerily similar without the same star power.
Though we relied a lot on Esan and Thompson for meters in the back field.

Makasini is WT best young prospect....going to rugby...
Large is WT best young prospect...going to rugby....
Galvin is WT best young prospect....wants out....

I would say Tallyn Da Silva, Heath Mason, Jordan Miller & Luke Laulilii have the biggest wraps along with Galvin from our juniors we have in the top 30 or development next season.

Christian Taupau-Moors, Phoenix Godinet & Jared Haywood, are after Makasini & Large, for our star juniors outside top 30/dev.

an observation not stat, is noticing how many hit ups the panthers forwards make in their own half.
Be close to 0!

Ivan did this at the Tigers as well. At the time it was a tactic because he felt our forwards weren't fit enough, and he was trying to find a way to get them through the 80 minutes. So maybe he stumbled across a great tactic purely because the Tigers suck, and that tactic has lead to 3 premierships.

Fatima Kdouh trawls the socials for content all the
time. That photo was posted on here in the juniors
& pathways thread from Crown's insta page. Tartak
will do a deal with us soon. Japanese rugby which
is considered a 3rd/4th division pro-league is being
disrespectful lol. That lady hasn't got a clue, honestly

Makasini met with deans last..I have a source and currently trying to squeeze him for as much as I can but no promises 😂😂

Geez didn’t realise how big Makasini was. I don’t know if it’s just the angle but seems quite filled out already and tall. Benji is about 6” so I’d guess Heamasi is about 6”1 maybe 6”2, he looks slouched over a bit next to Benji so who knows.

In the full picture Benji is standing on tip toes!
