OFFICIAL Jeral Skelton #294

[clontarfkid]

It's a good start on filling some huge gaps we have

 

[Kelce68]

Yep. How old is his brother Kit. Like with the Fainu brothers, if we keep one with regular game time we should be able to keep the rest

Just a year older, so, 19

If the reported $230k salary is correct, for a likely 1st team winger that’s good business IMO.

 

[BAGNF05]

It's a good start on filling some huge gaps we have

Skelton, a fit Olam and Turuva adds some strike power out wide next year.

The big challenge will be to lay a platform for the backs. I think we’ll add 3-4 proven forwards who are not big names, but can get us up the field and make their tackles.

 

[Taldog]

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'

Hi guys doggies fan here

Absolutely gutted we lost this guy but happy for the Tigers

He is a good trainer with good work ethic has transitioned in a short period of time which shows his commitment

Gus termed him his special project and believed his best position would be in the second row

Absolute beast of runner with ball in hand regularly posts 300m games in cup and has backed it up in NRL He also snaps guys in half regularly and surprisingly quick

The criticism of him has been defence particularly in NSW Cup I think it’s a transition thing from sevens at NRL level he has been much better perhaps because of Ciraldos system

Built as a centre he is not there yet defensively with respect to decision making I’m sure he will transition to that position long term though

he is good for a mistake or 2 a game but I think he will continue to improve out of sight

Either way you e got a good one hope he lights up for you guys

PS: we are likely to lose Wilson to Parramatta also from what I am hearing unfortunately or fortunately we are stacked in the outside backs and these 2 are too good for reserve grade

I hope that he lights it up as well, as it has been pretty dark at WT for a long time.

I know the feeling almost in disbelief this year not use to winning

Critical to do that b4 the new teams arrive
Gonna be a gunfight for talent..it already is!

But who will they be ? Horsborough from Canberra seems like a distinct possibility but apart from that slim pickings. We need some goers, hard running/hard tackling, no soft cocks !!! A bit of fire.

 

[BAGNF05]

Guys like him win the ruck and may improve our reputation with officials who love to call surrender when our backs get tackled.

9 teams will miss the finals and be looking to make changes. Plenty of water to go under the bridge.

You need a new name...!

 

[Needaname]

I am so thirsty for a signing that I will drink this in like in that James Bond movie where he gives the guy a can of engine oil to drink whilst he is left in the middle of the desert to die of thirst

Which movie is that one, I’ve seen a lot but I don’t remember that scene specifically.

 

[rugbygoated]

hopefully your man Bateman is coming back

Please no

Check this out:

 

[BAGNF05]

Staines is a genuine NRL winger and really had a go against Knights. He ran the ball back hard, was safe in the air.

That was the skill set of an NRL winger ten years ago. The best ones are another forward in attack now.

 

[Needaname]

Check this out:

ahh, thanks.

I think an arguement can be made both ways.
Remember we had another forward in Mamamolo but yet we’re still crying out for a bit of pace and agility.
