OFFICIAL Jeral Skelton #294

Good player, but still... we need a right centre! And a big prop. It's our two weakest positions. This guy could play centre though (not really sure). I think Dogs already have Kiraz, Tracey, Addo-Carr and Blake Wilson at wing so it makes sense for them. I'd prefer blake wilson but I'm happy we actually got someone. The right centre position at the Tigers in the last 2 years has been the worst defensive position in the NRL in history! Toa, Staines, Naden, you name it

It's a good buy on paper. Obviously I have doubts about his consistency, but it ticks all the other boxes. Young, right winger (Turuva is a left winger), tall and good in the air. Not sure about his defence though

Was going to ask if his preference is left or right side. Thanks @rugbygoated . Re defence Junior Pauga knows he can hit hard.

I wonder how his effort areas are? Kick chase & chasing breaks?

That's what I'm worried about. He has talent, but given dogs let him go and have strict training and are high on standards, I hope he's not going to us to take it easy or to 'live the dream under his childhood hero Benji'

Blake Wilson is off contract no?
 
What does this mean for Luke Lauli'i. I know he's been a bit rocks and diamonds but I hope we can keep him long term. A mini To'o clone imo. I bet this means Staines is on the outer along with sullivan, naden, klemmer

Preferred right if I remember correctly from rugby
days, he was carving it up on the 7's circuit before
killing it. Best part is that he's done the hard yards
and the dogs would have kept in good shape as
well as developed him. Benji would have told him
That he's got a starting jumper. He's a great signing
we've been calling for this for ages on here 🙏🏼

I think Luke has potential but he is just turned 18 …

In a normal club he would be playing Flegg… he needs a couple of years of seasoning in the lower grades first and then we’ll see

Turuva has been signed to play centre. Not sure if it will end up that way, but that's why he signed. So Luke and Staines will fight out the other wing spot I would guess. Although I believe Luke is better suited to the centres than wing.

Yeah we do need those positions.. but hey we need to start somewhere.

We have 2 solid wingers, a quality fullback and centre and 2 absolute gun halves...
