Looks like starford toa is currently “A side” if true View attachment 18362

You are correct Lestronge. What I see in this photo is the kids and their heroes. They should be able to go to school without being mocked. The club should be shooting for the stars. Not each other. That kid must be in heaven. Great pic.

Aitken likely on one side. The other could be any of Duncan, Kaloamatangi, Schuster or Arrow.

Im intrigued by Chubbs Schuster.

I would love to see his skin folds upon turning up for pre season. Much like the below I would expect.

Off season questions for the forum. Who do we as the answers to the below for season 2025, I’ll go first:

Biggest surprise packet: Heath Mason. I reckon he’s got something. Just depends what game time he will get I guess but would love to see him develop into a Connor Watson type.

Most improved: Alex Seyfarth. I feel the way our squad is we will be relying on him a bit. With more quality around him I feel he will continue to improve.

Least improved / regression: Alex Twal. Close one with Olam I reckon but he is based on fitness / injury. I think Twal needs a big year to justify his position in the team. His games needs to develop.

Great questions. But why this thread?

If spots become available which is highly likely from recent media does anyone think we could use one more big body in the forwards.

Sione Fainu will be upgraded.

Suggesting around 115kg wrecking ball if 2 go room for one more external addition

Just thought this one is most active and being the off season, not much signing news

Good call. Makes sense. Thanks for answering F88. I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Thats all.

I hope to increase my critical thinking and am still working on it. I aim to reach your level. Spare me for now please.

I think you’re right in that one or more of the “kids” will make a huge leap this year. Hopefully their early than expected NRL experience will plus a more intensive offseason will play into our hands.

In terms of regression, I am also hoping that the new signings and offseason benefits that we won’t have too many. We have raised the tide and that should benefit everyone.

Mason can do it as long as it's not at fullback. I reckon he's got something as well, anywhere in the backline bar No1. No.9, he'd kill it.
I think the whole pack will improve with the presence of May. Big year for Fainu and Seyfarth, even a return to form for Klem.
Twal might not be able to keep up.
I also think Latu might have a breakout year if he can stay fit. Could be our best, in a few positions.

Hope Johannssen has a big year.... And Toa too

Take Frizell off the Knights hands for a year or two.

 

[JC99]

Disagree. Good enough. Old enough.

The only way to get experience in a role is to do it.

Much like knocking Benji as a head coach, there is no better experience than doing the job.

We have already lost Large. Cant lose Big Mak.

We literally just re-signed him. I'm sure he'll play first grade this year, just don't think they should push him too hard. Benji openly admitted he had Galvin playing too much footy this year.

I agree old enough, good enough, it's just about player management that's all.
