TBH,neither player were as impressive as TDS at same age,but that ship has sailed.
Api still good for another year maybe two at reduced minutes..we have an aging Braily as a back up..and its up to the two young blokes to make their mark and stand up
We need better than Simpkin or Liddle in what is a key position
Manese wont be playing NRL in 2027...he is/was as talented as any of the above,except Api(who he did push out of Eagles)
Another option on the table as I see it

Nope .. Haywood was the Australian schoolboys hooker , TDS wasnt , Heywood played in the winning schoolboys team in yr 12 and also made the team in year 11 that came second to Galvin led team , lost in dying moments .. Jared makes every team he plays in better in attack as he controls the ruck , delivers brilliant service and is as much a running threat as TDS every day of the week ..

Funny response man, it's intriguing some of the posts on here to some it's trash and others treasure, opinions very that's what makes you keep coming back to read.

If anything, it's very entertaining, boring won't keep up the interest.

Not to get too dark on you, but when I was in the psych ward I was talking to someone who was getting shock therapy. It's a last resort treatment for people who are suicidal etc She was constantly complaining about memory loss and feared she would forget who her kids were. Why would have thought shocking your brain would destroy your memory. I think it's bonkers even considering it as a treatment.

Geez if Schiller was only offered a T&T and given we only have 26/30 players contracted that we officially know of makes me think we could have another 3 or 4 of Sukkar, Mason, Afoa, Aho, Taupau-Moors, Godinet & Murray on top 30 deals but have not been officially announced.

This is a forum for everyone to post their opinions, it seems that if you don’t agree with their opinion you think it’s ok to start calling them names.

Tureva was a great finisher last season..exceeded expetation when confronted by difficult situations and still crossed the line
Not so great this year,but played a lot at FB and centre..and carrying injuries
Great clubman and character
Asset to the team

Definitely wld not write him off

He's never been a 'great' finisher. He is pretty good at getting low and keeping his balance to get over the line when given a little bit of space close to the line. But that is his only move. Great finishers have other options eg. Speed to burn someone on the outside, power to run through defenders, a kick target, acrobatics to leap out/over defence but still ground the ball inside the touch line. He's got none of that.
I don't really like assessing players simply on tries scored as it ignores the work done inside them. So I will not bag him for not crossing the line too much this year. But playing centre shouldn't be used as an excuse for not scoring tries. If he had some of those other attributes I'm sure he'd have scored more.
As for great clubman and character. Maybe, hard to assess from the outside. He does seem to be a bit of an energy guy lifting spirits around the locker room. He also seems to lose his cool and want to fight everyone when things aren't going his way.
I definitely stick to the overpaid and overrated opinion but he is also by no means out of place in first grade. Probably on about 100k to much for what he offers but will rarely cost the team a game.
