Heath was technically top 30 contracted as our back up fullback this season as the top 30.
With Attard taking the top 30 back up fullback spot in 2027, there is no room for Heath unless we put him on Develolment or Train & Trial contract and he is happy with it,

You reckon Attard will be good to go with another off season?
Just worried we lack a Faulalo/Ramsey/Laurie/Sloan type if we get a bunch of injuries again

No... you dont know

I do know it would have been the last thing I would have wanted getting high fives after making a MISTAKE get on with the game and don’t make the same mistake again.

Would you rather cop abuse? Players do it because they know the feeling and they know it can always be them.

Well someone has to going we want to fit someone else in.
I think there is a chance a Latu at 7, Douehi at 6 combination goes real well, but it is far from certain.
It’s a bit like hoping for red or black on the roulette wheel.

I have no doubt AD would have some very good games at 6. However i just cant get past how unnatural his ball playing is. All I want is 2 halves that open up opportunities for others for once. 2 years of Luai jumping around and AD fumbling his way through, both combining to destroy any hope Bula and the outside backs have, i just want to see how our players go with natural unselfish ball players. If AD can be ok at 6 outside Latu, then TMM would be twice as good. TMM has a very good running game as well, and he is a natural ball player and he is completely unselfish. I really see a Latu and TMM combo thriving. Doesn't matter to me which one Benji chooses to play 7.
Im preying Benji is looking into TMM. He is a class act on and off the field.

Seeing Attard in person for the first time last week, I cant see how he ever plays NRL regularly. I was shocked at how tiny he is. He isnt Jye Gray, Heath Mason small, they are solid and powerfully speedy. Attard is quick, but more Will Kennedy type quick but half his size.

He was very quiet in Flegg last week, but i did like how he came alive the last 20 minutes with the game in the line. He can play. No doubt about that, and when in the clear he looks super quick. Im just worried he wont have the physicality to handle NRL.

If I had a dollar for every player hyped over the years who never ended up playing first grade, or didn’t make a dent, I could retire tomorrow. Attard seems like another on the production line who will be in the “where are they now” file in 5 years. Which is where guys like Jordan Hill, Israel Ogden, Logen Dillon and Tyler Field suddenly reside.

Who’s hyped Attard? And why does he seem like another? if anything he’s been developing with not much fuss from fans from what I’ve seen

If Doueihi at 5/8 is purely a bridge for Javon into later 2027 and then 2028, that is fine.

Pure & simple, we will not reach the pinnacle with AD in the halves. Based on pure class & ability, the duo who COULD lead us to the top is Latu & Javon.

AD could evolve into a good lock, Madden will be a very good back-up halfback and who knows with Schuster.

The future has to be Latu & Javon in the halves with Haywood at hooker if Benji is fair dinkum. Otherwise we'll need to recruit from outside.

The article was saying that benji wants javon and AD in the halvesin 2028 with no latu, Surely like you said AD would be a 1 year stop gap, I cant see us making the top 4 qith ad in the halves

It’s yet another 50/50, but he has rapid speed including being very quick off the mark.
He is a tall lanky youngster who looks like he will be quite strongly built and he has good gane awareness and skill to go with it.
So he ticks plenty of potential quality player boxes.

No doubt TMM could bring plenty of quality and experience.
If we can get him at the right price and fit him in, he would be a fantastic addition to our playing squad.

Definitely smaller than Campbell. I dont see Campbell as a small player. He probably os arpund Paps size to be fair. Paps looked a more powerful runner though. My guess is Attard about 5'10 and 78kg. I know Campbell is listed as 80kg, but at 6 foot I reckon he comfortably weighs more than 83 or 84kg
