Turuva and Skelton have both been good. Both are sadly a bit limited in their ceiling, Turuva for his lack of size and Skelton for his lack of pace. However unlike in years gone by, wing isn't a position of weakness and they're a perfectly capable duo for a finals level team.

Brooks should probably head to the ESL. Not really sure what team would take him on. He's gonna be 32 next year at best is a fringe first grader at this point.

We've had some better luck with injuries this year and scheduling a little more fortunate, but it's a huge step in the right direction. With that said there were also a number of games earlier in the year where we outright robbed by the refs, so we could also have been competing for a top 8...

Credit where credit is due since Doueihi has stepped into 7 he's looked a lot better. He's also willing to actually take the line on which is making a huge difference. He still does a little bit too much of the random jinking and cutting inside which disjoints our attack, but when he's direct...

Has he ever been taken back in contact? I swear every time he hits the defensive line he falls forward or carries them with him, and that's if he doesn't break through. Immensely talented. If he can keep working the way he has the past two years his ceiling is super high.

Put To'a on ice for the rest of the year and let's get some growth hormone or peptides into him.

He's average. Reality is he's Mark Geyer's son and Greg Alexander's nephew. If he was close to good enough, he'd be getting a run in first grade at Penrith. The fact he couldn't crack first grade properly at Penrith with that background suggests there's not much to be excited about.

Latu is definitely more of a 6 than a 7.

Silly but funny. He played well.

The salary cap is 12m. 450k is just over 1/30th of it. For a guy who can play several positions at a fringe first grade level, offers utility value and could end up good at 13, which is now a key position, it's fine. We gave Jack Bird 450k a year for 2 years. What is better than Doueihi at?

No brainer to re-sign him. He could end up a good 13. He can play winning footy in the halves. He can fill in at any backline position and he's a great fit for the 14. Most importantly he's stayed injury free this year. Truthfully, I was critical about him earlier in the year as he was...

Hahah mile forward but ill take it. Nice to get those calls go our way.

Re-sign Doueihi now

At least there's one Panthers no.6 helping us avoid the spoon

Talakai is a near perfect bench 2nd rower. Definitely yes if it's a 2 year deal at most.
