no chance in hell would Tex Hoy be a good signing, nor would we be looking at him. he flat out refuses to tackle.

I can't see Tex hoy being true. We wouldn't block anymore pathways in the back line.
Richo would only be looking at forwards

I also had a close look at Jack Williams standing around in the middle of the ruck making to step chases and then stopping.

That Knights-Sharks game could give you 4-5 genuine players of interest to add to the squad- Saifiti, Croker, Hetherington, Williams, Kaufusi, Hunt & Billy Burns all potentially available.
Croker & Hetherington numbers were great (particularly Croker) & Kaufusi had a great game.
If the club could haul Kaufusi, Croker, Hetherington & Jack Williams- that's a forward revolution.
I like Williams- but I think I'd have him as option 2-3 behind Jazz Tevaga/Dylan Walker (one or the other- not both) & Harrison Hassett (simply for role reasons as Hassett can fill in at centre if required).
Kaufusi, Croker & Hetherington- added to our pack- makes me happy.

Well we keep reading that the drag queens have said they will sign a front rower , now there 5-6 on the market , if the drag queens get one or two and we get None , then the club is not trying

I'm suprised no one is mentioning Bunty Afoa as an option....He is playing reserve grade for the Wahs

I found when watching the game Hunt runs hard then hits the hand brake in the line. Was easy to get down once hit the defence. Easily fixed I reckon

Jazz Tevaga is shit.
Kaufusi and Williams are fair shouts, but won't get both out of the one club in my opinion.

Agree. I've been on the Hunt train and think he can still excel in a leadership role at our club but the more I watch him the more I think the best available prop for us is Oregon Kaufusi - he just fits the age profile better for us to lead our next gen.
We could get both as Kaufusi can opt-out of his mutual option & Williams is off-contract.

Out wingers are too short and do not make much yardage getting us out of our end… we desperately need tall wingers… so what do we do… let our up and coming 200cm winger depart the the club on a TT deal elsewhere…. How smart
Hunt is losing his shine
Seems he's doing the old contract year performance, trying to land a new club.
1] O. Kaufusi would be fantastic, he's constantly improving.
2] Jack Williams.
3] Bunty Afoa
Those 3 would transform our pack, dramatically.

Just reading about Dogs improvement in defence . I think we all knew Ciraldo was a top coach in the making, pity we couldnt lock him down before Dogs.
A mate and I have been “ discussing” whether it’s the coach or the Dogs recruitment that has led to the change. I say it has to be both but my friend says it’s more the coach coz he was the Penrith defence coach and they were the benchmark.
Reckons his systems could even make our players look like champs ?

Skelton is 191cm and a powerful runner
Assuming our other backs, Bula aside, will be;
Justin Olam,
Sunia Turiva
And Luke Lualilii
They're on the shorter side.

But we bought Skelton.... and Junior is replaceable. He has the laid back attitude of Bulla but without the natural talent.
Think he's talking about prospect, Navren Willett

Maybe Douehis future is on the wing !
Doesn't pass
Probably his most ideal position
Will leak points with all the shirt grabbing though

That will be an issue any position on the field

given he was moved from starting left edge to the middle and finally the bench before he copped an injury, Jackson Ford is a player I deem ideal as Bateman’s replacement.
free agent come November 1 and a south coast native, I’d be trying to sign him from there and pushing for an early release. NZ are pretty good with release requests on compassionate grounds.
Ford and Teig Wilton are the two backrowers I’d be chasing once free agency restarts, with Ford the more attainable of the two imo.
