Tyrone Thompson, Leo Thompson brother. Played union for lots of years and apparently the bigger talent. Richo should give him a buzz, one a 1 year dev with knights and could be a good addition for cheap

What position does he play?

 

[Tigerwould]

Yes, Phoenix and Archie are two to watch very closely over the next 2 years. Good prospects.

Glad Richo is managing the cap and roster. The next couple of years are going to be crucial for our long term success. Holding onto good junior talent has been a weakness in the past.

I couldn’t remember Archie’s last name . It’s why I didn’t mention him . Thanks mate !
Also Tapau -Moors . But I think we may have lost him and he’s a middle. .

Christian Taupau-Moors should still be with us. You might be mixing him up with Maddax Fui who was the other starting prop. He left and went to Souths.

How many GFs has Lodge won again?

How many times has he played in the finals

Prop, here’s some highlights if you reckon he could play a different position tho

 

[upthetigers]

Thoughts on Latu Fainu playing in the centres. Good on his feet and has great ball skills and seams to have a crack in defence.

Yes with Mason off the bench. I'd play Bird at backrow if we can't get better. Latu is ready for the NRL now.

 

[upthetigers]

It’s why I’d have Bird there. Would make much more sense to play him there with either Seyfarth or Pole at lock.

Agreed. Pole lock and Seyfarth off the bench.

 

[Big Red]

M’am was reckless. Lodge was deliberate.

Lodge was charged with reckless assault. They’re both lucky their actions didn’t result in more serious harm to others or themselves.

Meh.
Circles.
It’s still a no to Lodge for me.
And he’s average at best.

 

[upthetigers]

No shit, I saw him in 7/11 today looking happy,
hopefully that means the upgrade is done haha

Stop stalking players

Yea I am . I couldn’t remember which one left .

Lodge was completely out of his mind on sleeping tablets. I’m not excusing his actions.

 

[Camel2281]

Would be interested to see how he went there...

But ultimately, I think he will be playing 80 mins at half in reserves so he is ready to step in as soon as Luai or Galvin are injured/suspended/on rep duty. He's our next choice in both half positions and transitioning him to centre (a specialist position) may affect his progression.

I think he'll be in the NRL 17 off the bench every week. TDS offers no versatility off the bench in 1sts, he plays big minutes in cup so when Api is unavailable he's motor is developed to cover him properly

 

[Camel2281]

But we don't need a lock, we need a second rower.

Not if Bird plays there

Api should not go 80.
We have 2 years of evidence to support that statement. We have many years of data before he came even here to support that statement.
TDS has to be on the bench as cover and should be getting 25 minutes per week. He has spent his time in reserves getting ready.
Latu needs to do the same in 25

As are you bp. 👍🏻😎
I’ve had personal experience in both Lodge and Mam’s situations (so not coming from a high horse), and I feel very strongly that Lodge should not have been afforded the privilege of returning to our great game. But in saying that there has been a few others that should have been wiped out too, but as I said the NRL can’t make a moral decision.
A mate of mine did 3 years for pretty much the same as Mam, it will be interesting to see the outcome.
Respect to you for saying each to their own opinion to bp. 👍🏻
Merry Xmas.

Sorry guys. Are we back in for Kobe Hetherington? I have scrolled through multiple pages but I can only see a post mentioning we are looking at him again. Has something been said or heard regarding Kobe? I would love to get him here.
