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

True, but 80 minutes in cup isn't 80 minutes in NRL.

Hope we send TDS to the same MMA gym that Damien Cook went too. Seriously Api's ability + Cook's motor would be insane in a 9.

Actually one of the biggest criticisms of his game is that he didn't sniff around much. He hides out wide for the overlap play but didn't get involved the rest of the set. He needs to be buzzing all over the field all game if he's to be our long term fullback

IMHO, he is by far our best FB, and arguably one of the best defensive NRL's FBs.
Perhaps his support play is not as good as his predecessor, but not many are close to the JT!

Hope everyone has a great Christmas swear I will have not too many glasses of red.

Me too

Ok My mate pulled out a bottle of Glenlivet and it's damn awesome. Wait there is another one...

Blast, shouldn't have too many glasses of red after this fine Scotch 🙂

We have the WORST defensive record in the NRL.

We cannot say what you have said.

Yes Bula has been better then our team at Defense. Still a long way to improve and a lot of growth in that area. Slater/Paps can read the gaps and have a better sense of where a team will move, JT, etc are far ahead of Bula... Bula will learn but a long way to go.

I’ve heard Harrison Hassett is likely to join us before the 2025 season kicks off.
To be honest I’m not convinced he’s any better than what we already have, but he did star throughout his junior rep career, so he might be ready to step up a level in 2025.

Panthers and backrow.
If I was to compare him he probably is similar to Blore style wise but without the injury history.

A lot smaller than Blore.

Said style wise mate.

I think they are very similar in size.
In saying that I would much rather have a high energy, mobile, aggressive and fearless 97-98kg forward, than someone who is 105-110kgs but plays lazy.
So I don’t think lack of size is a problem, plenty of top quality back rowers are the same size or a bit smaller.
From what I’ve seen from Hassett he ticks off the high energy and mobile boxes, a slight concern on whether he is aggressive and fearless enough, but that generally improves with age and confidence.
