Is this bloke fast?

If only Benji would try him at fullback over the off season.
Bula to wing --- better than Tavana for bombs and D.

They have a big catchment area, just like us------------But?
We are not paying 900k for Bula to sit on the wing.
Bula is better than he has shown last six weeks and we all know that.
We also have, Avarillo, and AD. How many do you want for God's sake.

What exactly does "shutdown" mean?
Injury I am assuming. Hope it's for a couple of months so Benji can trial some alternatives.
Otherwise Benji sticks with the same old I suspect.

Yeah, Nahh, lets give him another year to develop.
How many years of development has he had now?

See this is what happens when people don’t read before posting. I said he could be a good replacement for AD if he leaves.
Averillo is a centre only IMO. I do not want him moving so we can watch Herbert in first grade again.
You make it sound like Tigers can recruit, apart from a few decent ones we’ve never been able to recruit. The clubs best signing in history is probably Gareth Ellis and we aren’t topping that in the near future. No decent players are gonna consider us so just forget about trying to sign them it ain’t happening.

He played RMC
The only reason we recruited Ellis is because O'Neill talked him into coming here but he is now at Parra(Sheens wanted to claim the credit but it was all O'Neill).Our recruitment as a club has always been very poor.

Agree we need him as our centre---but he played fullback this weekend and Bula not exactly setting the world on fire. Bula to wing .
Which means we still need another centre. Saukuru what's happening?
You’re not wrong. We’ve landed a few names every now and then like Api but overall the recruitment has been poor because of the clubs management, especially under HBG. We aren’t landing big names for a very long time.

Rumour is Saukuru is going to Parra.
Averillo is probably not even 3rd choice fullback at Dolphins so I wouldn’t be pinning my hopes on him.
We’ve committed to Bula so need to get his surgery done and hope he gets his confidence back next year. If he’s not fullback he doesn’t make the team IMO.

500/1 mate, they're not paying Bula 900k as rumoured to play in the outside backs even if you think he's better suited out there.
We desperately need Bula to put on a few kg and become a tackle break threat. I understand he’s been playing injured but even before that he has never been a tackle buster. He becomes infinitely more dangerous if he can start beating players 1 on 1 but at the moment he is purely a finisher and we don’t give him anything to finish.

Can we shut down our attack coach for the year and bring in applicants first next year for a run also? We could not possibly attack any worse .. sadly 😕

To play Ron Massey? I like your theory but they played him in Massey instead? I cannot believe some selections… I hope they bloody give Faingaa a run because he is fast and runs onto the freaking ball
The reason they can let players leave, there juniors are so much better than most other clubs have , there all big , fast and always seem ready for 1st grade , we really need to follow there program, rather than picking small , slow players
