You’ve been pretty complimentary of Sione Fainu and Sukkar. Both have only shown little glimpses in First Grade. You’re not Robinson Crusoe though, Fainu has a few fans already.

I rate his brother, need to see more of those other guys.

Sukkar has literally had 25 minutes....not sure about Tim J .....how many games of NRL ......like you can't even look Tim up on Wiki lol

I'll pose an interesting question...is Richo setting things up for a more palatable sacking of Benji? Now hear me out.

When JAC got done and Gould came out so publicly backing him, I said straight away Gould was setting it up so he could sack him and have no backlash. He deliberately made himself look like a fool by backing JAC so when the truth came out everyone would say "he has to sack him". So it got me thinking, is Richo talking up our spine so the possible sacking of Benji if we fail to get results, will be more acceptable to the media and fans? Now I'm much less confident that this is what's happening as I was with the Gould and JAC situation, but it did make me think. Of course Richo wants Benji to succeed, but maybe he is setting up the backup plan.

I suggested this a couple of weeks ago by saying that’s what I thought Richo was thinking. Then I got shouted down by someone saying how would I know what Richo was thinking when most people don’t even know what they are thinking.

I agree Richo has been very bullish and ai also feel it is to put pressure on Benji.

Just on Taylan May, his bro Terrell is desperate to play alongside him at the Tigers! It’s exactly the body language I got when I spoke to him! I’d be shocked if Richo actually didn’t want him!
We need real competitors and these brothers are exactly that! Anyone who’s seen Taylan May in person, knows he’s built like a granite block! Absolute unit, and one of the hardest blokes in the entire NRL to tackle. I really see him joining Luai and Turuva as a left centre for us! Our backline would be absolutely deadly 🔥🔥🔥🫡

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Taylan May
4. Makasini
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai

I don't want him, dragged over the coal"s before penrith turfed him, major risk .N people panicking about looking after any bro that is not performing shouldn't b an issue. If it comes to that, set them free, along with our salary cap

Yeah every year supporters talk the team up. Aim for 8-12 position and it's a start. It is not a top 8 team yet. 2-5 are defensive liabilities, we have young players that are another year or so off.

If we come tenth I'd be happy honestly.

I'm thinking 10th sounds about right to me, anything higher is a bonus.

I have stated previously that i would love to see Tim Johannsen turn into a good player, but the way he's being talked up around here is a bit ridiculous and very premature.

He's not even in the top 30... He has 6 props in front of him in the pecking order, 7 if you include Seyfarth. I honestly believe its more likely that he doesnt even play a single NRL game next season than him playing 1.

No one is saying a prop.
Try back rower!

The excitement over Taylan May leaves a pretty poor taste. If nothing comes of the court case fair enough, but the mans facing some pretty dispicable charges

People acting like it’s a done deal. The guy is a dead shit. The fact he was happy to risk throwing his career in the toilet while being apart of the best side of the modern era should be a huge red flag. No question of his talent. The guy is an absolute beast. But all the talent in the world is pretty useless if you are a maniac off the field.

Call me old fashioned but I’m still a believer that the proper way to Firsts is to absolutely bash the door down in reserve grade. Melbourne is still going about it that way - star reserve grade players like Grant, Pezet, Faalongo who had to do a proper apprenticeship.

Can’t for the life of me see how anyone in our reserves earned a first grade opportunity in the last few years.

We’re obviously in a building phase, hopefully to a point where first grade jerseys are harder to earn.

I don’t confess to know these blokes at all , sounds like they grew up in some pretty rough circumstances.

Didn’t Benji have a bit of battling upbringing too? Single mum etc etc

Maybe he does have that Bennett magic dust with these sort of kids? Pure speculation on my part.

Your upbringing is no excuse. Millions of people have rough upbringings and grow up to be normal functioning adults. And he’s had a luxury not many of those people have, by being good enough to make lots of money. Atm though, he seems happy to squander his good fortune.
