Theoretically we have but I have never seen him to do the 30 tackles and 100 run metres required for NRL 13 (along with the other ball distribution stuff).

Once we have our full forward pack back, I think we are ok (KPP, Api, a fully fit Samuela and Twally, Royce for impact). Where I would be looking is for a top tier 13. I think Twally does well in the middle with his go forward and excellent in defence but he doesn’t seem to play ball play at the...

I don’t think Douiehi or Shuster have the engine for a 13 but a Douiehi/Shuster share of the role might work?

Lost their way totally and they won’t find their way back this year. Massive losses have impacted confidence. Missed tackles, one off hit ups, no creativity and just a general lack of cohesion. We need to do something different next week. Luai and Douiehi just don’t work together. Makasini is...

I must admit, I didn’t know why the hype was about but watching him in the last 2 KOE games - he is an absolutely a talent.

Latu has been outstanding. Running and kicking game has been just a class above. The whole spine has been really good but Latu directed the show. St George had no answer to him. Have been watching him and Javon closely and both have been vocal, directing play. He should play next week

We have so lost our way. The intensity and the pride that we’re so evident at the start of the season have completely gone. I think the injury toll has really impacted the team’s attitude and morale. They haven’t been the same since the mid season floggings. Perhaps time look at next season and...

Rocket Reddy tops the list for me. Adam “the mechanic” Blair when he was at Melbourne- went to work using Jiu Jitsu holds to hurt players in tackles. Hoppa was a piece of work

As a potential outside back, I think Dunster is the most interesting if he can get an injury free run and Andrews the highest ceiling in that list.

I Think he is showing good progress and I don’t think he has reached his potential yet.

I think the Knights got a leg up in the middle as we fatigued. May cannot do a quality 80 minutes. He is a 60 - 65 minute player. He becomes a target in defence and his runs are ineffective. We need some more quality up front. Twal will no doubt help in the middle but Benji needs to ensure May...

His one on one defence needs a lot of work

I am not sure how he fits if he doesn’t want to do the hard stuff? Do you see him as a half. 13 or back rower?

I watched Benji’s interview and he said that he spoke with Josh and by the sounds of it they had an open and honest conversation. While I admire Benji for giving Josh a lifeline, the message should also be 30 tackles, 100+ meters at a minimum per game. The line break and try assist can come...

I thought Tigers always rated Tupou. Yes he had some clangers in him (mostly handling if I recall correctly) but he was very young when he was here. Always had good carries in my opinion. He hasn’t kicked on at Phins or Chooks but I think he has potential from what I saw of him during his time...
