I find it hard to believe Purdue will go there to play Center …he will likely have a couple of options that might be better

True. Though he ain’t pushing Munster out of 5/8 but between him and Munster they might fill fullback / 5/8.
Though at the Cowboys he has less opposition to lock down a 5/8 spot.

🐯 CONFIRMED: The Wests Tigers have signed 2024 Australian Schoolboys fullback Jack Attard on a three-year contract, per sources.

Attard will be on a train-and-trial contract in 2026, before moving to the development list (2027) and the Top 30 roster (2028) over the next few seasons.

Perfect result.

Now Richo says to Bula we have until March 31 to take up your option at $900k show us your worth it.

A lot of water to pass under the bridge between now & then... Play the long game.

That's unless we strike a deal prior.

I would suggest given the depth we are building at FB the most we would offer is until the end of 2029 maximum more like 2028.

You would hope they put some kind of performance clause in these contracts

I Think we need to temper expectations with Roberts somewhat. From the game I've seen him play he reminds me of Steve Trindall, Chris Paterson. Big and slow, minimal impact and low work rate.

Maybe he was injured or lost motivation after announcing his departure but he was very average for the chooks. Just doesn't have the aggression or heart to take it to the next level.

Let's see if Benji can light his fire

His development was the main reason I didn't have him in consideration for the opening of the season. He needs to demonstrate his skill set, not have the carpet laid out for him.

The point Merlot was getting at was the potential for us to develop a quality 13 from within the stock that we have. I would certainly prefer us to recruit a proven 13 of the style we want; it doesn't appear the Benji and Richo agree.

So you know what Richo and Benji are doing with the last 2 roster spots? Genius

Predicting how fast a 20y.o will develop as a rugby league player is like trying to predict the Lotto numbers.
Young Ethan has plenty of size, good mobility for someone of his size and looks to have his fair share of skill to go with it.
It will be a matter of whether he’s prepared to cop some punishment in order to utilise these strengths which will determine how good he can be and how fast he will get there.

'Hundreds per month' 😆😆😆

Is that my only option is it?

Why can it not be changed back? Specifically, why?

And, why, does @Kul not bother, even privately, to respond to respectful posters who would like to ask direct questions or query certain decisions?

How much do you think a proper stack costs for the amount of traffic this site gets?
1400$ a month inc cloudflare for an engine sever that would get hardly as much traffic as this.

Before Daine Laurie was moved on, Jack was the fifth pick for fullback at The Penrith Factory, behind Edwards, Laurie, Jaxen Edgar & Sione Fonua, that is, if they didn't slot Alamoti or Jenkins in before them. I read elsewhere that he is 19, but the NSWRL site doesn't list his birth date. Maybe he was immaculately conceived and will be our Messiah in years to come. 🤣 🤪 🤣 🍺 🍺 🍺
