What are peoples thoughts on Cherry Evans for 2027, wouldn't command that much $$ and plays right H/S and the general /experience half we desperately need.

if he would come here i would say yes for sure

probably bs not really mate I dont particularly know the person I heard it off that well.
They seemed to think it was something to do with the club not a coaching role or anything like that.
if nobody here has heard anything its probably not happening

I've heard this too, but for the life of me don't know where.

Maybe one of the podcasts

Adds some sparke to our backline, imo

1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Jake Averillo
4. Taylan May
5. Makasini/ Tupou/ Tavana

That's still a bottom 4 backline....

Siotave Havea Jr and Blake Van Driie- they will make the grade, both have the football brains to succeed, but they need a good development program.Peter Taateo, Archie Duncombe and Mitch Taotua all ideally kept on lower tier deals and Glassie Glassie on a Development deal also fall in this category.

Siotame needs to grow a few inches and put on 10-15kgs is he's to ever compete for first grade. Or as a hooker he'd need to really improve his skills. Blake would also need to fill out another 10kgs, he's got a decent attitude and hunger but he's likely also too small for first grade.

We never to stop hoping we find a tiny nugget of gold and start playing the odds with the more athletic boys

As stated Siotame and Blake have that football nouns you can't teach, if developed properly will both succeed in time.

Assistant ? What does that mean at the junior level …what are your duties ? Royce Simmons style laying out the witches hats ?

I coach Penrith and have won four comps in a row. Also coached this shitty club. Just come on here for the bants.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Assistant means assist the coach and was all I wanted as I did not want to over commit myself due to time constraints I have with work and family etc.
I’ve also coached soccer/football at high levels in the Sydney NPL and likewise opted to be an assistant for the same reasons.

didnt realise you now had to coach according to some to have an opinion on here now... lol

What age group you cover in coaching , and how did your teams hear go when you coached them

Can’t agree , if Macca gets his confidence back this group will injury free take you to the 8 , we just need to beef up the engine room with a hard edge prop

 

[426Tlgerland]

Kade7 , any news on Blore , are we having a look , and are we lining up anyone with Luai money or are we going with AD / Latu / Andrew’s

I think one of the pods said a well known Wests Tigers person has approached the board regarding a Football management role.

 

[innsaneink]

havent read back so apologies if this is a double up

luai and club agreed to a press conference on monday, luais camp leaked early

if we loose this weekend a real possibility its his last game at the club

No presser yesterday...any updates?
I doubt he doesnt play v Dogs

That’s our problem since ever , all our kids are short, and light , look at the roosters when there kids come through there all big and fast , we. Need to change how we pick kids

 

[Buttface]

We’d have a Baby and a Mumma Giraffe

I wonder if we have reached out to Kodi Nikorima. I know Souths are interested in him but could be a good halves partner for Latu. He has been very good for a while now, he has loads of experience & still is a run threat He wouldn’t break the bank & seems a decent lad to fit into our group.

Would be a good 1 year deal, but he's played too well this year for the dolphins to not reward him with an extension..

I was wondering the same thing 🤷🏼‍♂️
