Ray Stone for sure although has had his fair share of injuries however we need players like him to change how we play with much more aggression and passion. Stone does also cover all of the backrow plus hooker.
100% he can - he has been awesome for Wigan but he is playing in a system which allows him to perform but he has been impressive with his growth as a player for Wigan.
Trey Mooney is the one I would get to partner up front and then you need to find a young aggressive backrower that can play decent minutes like Harrison Hasset. David Fifta would be amazing but at the right price and buy in to the what we need. Massive risk which could go either way.
I have...
Bird and Murray identical stats: 22min each (5 hit ups -40M/34M, 20 tackles each, 1 miss tackle).
Effort players but little impact.
Poor bench and even giving Kit 5min end of 1st half and then 5-10min start of 2nd half would have given May/Fainu a decent breather to see out the match.
I am...
Was about to say the same thing.
He has been ordinary and massive liability. Need to recruit at least 2 more forwards before end of the month if we want to play finals.
May cannot keep playing 80min something has to give. Another prop and backrower both can play decent min and have a high work...
Back row depth is a massive problem and something which needs to be fixed asap in recruitment.
There is nothing NSW cup to help us - actually really like Bird but need some impact and versatility in that backrow position.
Ray Stone or Matt Sitmson or Mavrik Geyer would be ideal.
His socials do not help his cause hence he has taken them down which presents a continued problem with is his social attitude. Could be a great buy but we don't need idiots damaging the brand or the buy in from fans.
Players will come to teams that have a style and the players they want to play...
2 years ago for sure but he is bog average now....massive plodder and will be on decent coin.
I would have loved for us to get Trey Mooney from the Raiders but he is locked down and will be good for the Raiders going forward.
Personally would love love for us to go after Will Pryce, Mavrik...
100% agree - Lawrie is not what we need. He looked very ordinary last week in the time he had on the field. To be honest his best days are past him and would be better going to the SL which would much better suit is style of play.
Should promote John Muggleton to assistant defense coach considering that is what he did for over a 10 year period with the Wallabies when they made the World Cup final.
I have said on a number of occasions that our S&T and overall fitness is the poorest in the NRL and I struggle to see...
Tristian Hope was great tonight and even last week he was impressive.
Dynamic and touch and not afraid to tell players where to go in attack. Really liked the look of him at 9 and think he will be surprise backup throughout the year pending injuries and form.
Bird looked fit and provided that...
