Ive got Douhi going back to centre instead of Naden...and..big gulp here..Mason at 6
If for no other reason Id like to see what he as to offer in his favorite position
No he shouldn't.
Brotherhood should never be underestimated.
Once we have all Fainus in the spine, i expect fireworks.
Having your bro(s) by your side is massive during combat.
This is why I think we should be bringing in Suli Pole & Taylan May... possibly even Tyrone as a cup contract, just to have around at training.

I agree with that Demps.
We need something to fire us up, at the moment we are going to war with water pistols,
Yes I’m a big Nado fan, but he was disappointing yesterday.
One good offload for Bula’s try, but I expected him to really stand up and cause havoc yesterday.
I cannot understand why players that are big, tall, strong, fast and aggressive such as Naden and Samuela Fainu are finding it so hard tj make a line break ?
Is it them or is it our coaching/structure ?

Naden has been like that for a decade tbh...better coaches than Benji in Cleary and Gould have punted him
Hes either so fired up he makes dumb errors...or is totally insipid
Think Ive had enuff of him..needs to prove otherwise or his NRL career is over
Samuela disappointing..again.Just hasnt been getting the ball in great position this season,and is also heavily marked these daysOne of our few back row prospects,but needs help
Nados did a few good things problem is unfair to judge him on first game back from injury. We were missing a few Hunt, Skelton, Latu Fainu and Galvin for obvious reasons. All 4 are in our starting 17. We are one edge back rower down to begin with along with a genuine 13 and centre.
Incomplete squad but we are on the right track. Throw in Taylan May, KPP and next year Makasini and we are a genuine finals side.

I'm so angry at all this shit that the club continues to cop ... from agents, referee officials, inaction from NRL ... nothing changes.
If we can't win, I just want us to smash the other teams physically, just become a team of enforcers F em all , do whatever to bring Spencer Leniu over, Jack Hetherington, Taylan May and others.
It's us against the world!
NOTE: lots of emotion talking.

Agree , Isaac will make Bulla a huge problem for us , Development , he will use this first then the same shit as now , I would be pulling Bulla in for a chat about manager change , Maybe Mario would be able to cut a reduces fee deal and extend him a couple more years

Taylon May a big question mark in every respect..last thing we need is more player drama.Mentally and physically fit hed be a great pickup
KPP on $750k allegedly??Huge $$..almost SOO...hes a long way from that atm
Makasini will be better good.but needs time and patience.2027 will be his year
Looking at what could potentially be our top 30 next year...
Again, we need to focus on depth.
We likely will be seeing a lot of departures.
We need to focus on;
Backrow
Wing and centre depth
A genuine lock
A back up half
Backrow: our options are Samuela, Seyfarth, Bird and Sukkar. I think we really add a star into this position to add some spark to our attack. Watching the better backrowers like Hudson Young, Kikau, Tuponia- they smash the line each week for tries. I'd like to see what we can do to improve this. The mail is on Kai Pearce Paul.
Wing and centre depth: I expect to see Staines, Feledy, Naden and possibly even Fataaape, all leave. Makasini moves into the top 30 and I hope we'll add Taylan May. I am a fan of Luke Lualilii but we will be somewhat short on depth. We need to add a few decent back ups to help and as I mentioned earlier I think Krystian Mapapalangi will be that guy but I think another one or two are needed.
A genuine lock: unless we plan to continue playing Twal at 13, this is something we've always needed to address. I am not sure who we could sign to address this, or should we lock to play Kit Lualilii in this role? What's everyone's thoughts?
A backup half: with Latu and Luai likely being our halves, moving forward... what happens if one of them goes down? Adam Douihei? We've tried that. Sullivan returns to play cup and wait for his chance? No thanks. I think we need a backup option... Penrith have used Toelau, Schneider, Cogger, Talagi, over recent times. We need a decent, crafty back up, ideally who can cover multiple positions. Is Heath Mason the guy?

Moses will be difficult being the vindicative !!!! that he is
Theres a temptation to roll over early (year end)on Gavin in exchange for extending Bula,but have several problems with that on many different fronts
Firstly,we have Bula for 2 more seasons after this one
Secondly.Moses will want elite fullback $$,and hes nowhere near there in defence and positional play
Lastly.for .Moses its win/win

Agreed, after yesterday that sinking feeling in the guts in back. So dang disappointed with that showing after everything to prove and some serious street cred at stake.... The only way you shut the idiot media and up is wins. Let the circle jerks and naysayers laugh for now.
One thing in our favour is time. Its week 7 of a 27 round tournament, so there is time to get things clicking at a stronger level and put some points on the board, especially when our halves are settled with Latu back in a few weeks. We can expect to go on a balltearing run second half of the season and make it count.
Too much optimism... Maybe. Pretty sure that performance will have the playing group and coaches pissed off.

Have to agree hear
Hard hitting and running back rower - KPP goes ok would need to study up a bit on him v others
Fast centre with some attitude. - May
Half , again must be quick and tough - good footy brain
Reserve grade upgrade , Dump Tumeth , Feledy , Matta , Lob , and a few more and go get the likes of Cartwright , Lane from eels , players like this to help the better young guys , our team again is poor , which is about 4 years running now , time to clean it right up
Maybe a good option for backrow depth, is already within our ranks...
Elie El Zakhem.
Perhaps worth a look at a top 30 contract next year?

Following up again, haa
Problem solved:
Backrow:
Kai Pearce Paul
Elie El Zakhen
Half depth:
Tyrone May
Lock:
Jaxon Rahme
Jmaine Hopgood from Parramatta in a swap deal.

I like him too. If he continues this form, he may well get a look in later in the season depending on how we are going & injuries. Would be a good player 27-30 squaddie or T&T at worst.
Definitely be a good squad filler and better than the likes of Tumeth.
I could see this being his last chance to make it so he'd have a lot of drive to succeed.
There is definitely some options around to fill our gaps.
