Fearless prediction; Ice will be in the middle rotation by the end of the year.
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
We taking bets that's not the case this time next year?
Seems to be some mis-understanding that Samuela was a prop miraculously turned into a decent
2nd Rower?
Played a bit in the middle for Manly in 1st Grade
(Not uncommon for kids coming through - Simplify the role a bit),
and might have also played there in Origin
(Probably cause he can and was the best team option)....
Dunno where it comes from though, He's always been a 2nd Rower!!
And that's where Manly had him earmarked for before we pilfered him.

We're going to need to extract some versatility value out of our fringe forwards next season. The likes of Sione, Johanssen, Sukkar et al may need to play both some middle and edge at certain points for cover.
Seyfarth will be stepping out of that versatility role and onto an edge most likely.
It's going to be hard to fill out our edge stocks with a specialist heading into January.

You like getting on early, Don't you....
Good on you for sticking with it though.
My point was more so that he's still in the middle now, Like he was then.
You blokes are turning reserve graders from the middle to NRL Edge players - Crazy.
When u know, u know lahhh 🙂
I got big expectations for Sione and...Timmy J.
Keen for 2025.

Who from where that's the problem so we may have to fill in from internal forwards sure if we train prospects all summer at 2nd row someone stands out.

Not saying they will in fact reckon someone else may surprise.
You're running short of victories of late Bud
(Even gone Dark on the King)
Is he even making your teams lists these days?
We've had 10 years of experimenting....
We're chock full of kids who don't know how to win NRL Games.
Sure,
We could strike gold with some more suck it and sees,
Or we could find a target and go get him.
We've released plenty of players this year to help other teams flush their squads out
- Why can't that situation be reversed?
Captain / Coach and Motivational Team Lead no doubt?
Saw That.... Cannons!!
Couple years (5-6) tackling practice in Ressies he might get a Utility spot somewhere?
He's in an interesting situation..
It seems the powers at the club really rate him,
But a lot of the fans don't.
One year contract.
And we've got players lined up for the halves and to a lesser extent, also in the centres.
Not sure if other clubs would be interested, despite the rumours the dragons were keen.
I think it's a make or break year for him, and possibly his last in the NRL (if he doesn't really stand out)
I think a fresh start in England, may be on the horizon. It's completely up to AD though....
Personally, love to see him really improve defensively and become a powerhouse lock.

Mate we all would like to bring in a gun right side 2nd rower have mentioned it in earlier posts do you think Bateman was the answer from outside who would you think is the answer.
Bateman was better than any other options we're left with.
We were short there already, have let go the 2 starters from last year and the blind faith in Seyfarth doing the job to NRL standard I'm not swallowing.
Blokes like Jack Williams went to Parra to play behind blokes - We've got no one....
A fella like Taane Milne played in 2nd row in the Internationals to a higher level I've ever seen Tumeth or Sukkar play to...
They'd be out there - Fataila-Mariner went to the Dragons on a dime last year and was one of their best Players.
From outside, I don't know what they're looking for - Don't care to be fair,
But they need something, And we're running out of time...

Still months before the season Tyrell signing fell from nowhere luck on our side a 2nd rower comes on to the market Milne suggestion interesting if he can work on the brainfarts has enough aggression.

Well the internationals weren't real good for us so I guess we just have to make do with what we currently have.
Over to you Richo to sort that one out.

I wasn't suggesting Sione was a like for like replacement for ICE but he has left. I would have made him stay for the duration of his contact as WT have a better team in 2025.
