What more is there to say? His defensive flaws are well known and obvious. Its up to Saukuru and the club to work extensively on fixing it as quickly as possible if he wants to make a career out of the game. On the offense he is good, its just fixing the bad defense. Easy to say but it requires...
By God, i expect the club only views him as a squad filler, but geez, there are better players available to do that. Worries me when you read 'remains in their long term plans'- what the hell in his performances to date brings that feeling on. Just another Tumeth.
Agree. Samuela great, Heighington somewhat laughable. No public verifiable info on his worth and what he has done. I think there is a comment somewhere that Morris was the sacrificial lamb. Sure looks like it unless either Heighington or Hodgson are tapped on the shoulder but it's getting late...
Here's hoping this legal action can somehow force HBG and WA to rid the WA club of the debenture hold on administration, and hence HBG as well, and then we can maybe see some fresh air and ideas flow through the club.
Lord knows, but Benji and club will have to manage this ambition of Averillo. If signed on to be a centre and back up for other positions, we have multiple 5/8 capable players but few centres. He has to focus on centre at this stage.
Just a guess that if they get a totally elected member board they can vote the debenture system extinct and put in a new voting system based on popular vote of members- however they define members. Which in itself will be another fight.
The reality he is not signing now despite offer and potential negotiation on that offer, Nov 1 coming up fast and ability to field outside offers. I know his manager is suspended at present but there are ways around that eg someone acting on managers behalf that both manager and player trusts.
TBH Im in favour of NRL taking control of junior comps and develop from there. Too much variety in the clubs controlling juniors- some have good bases, others terrible and rely on buying talented juniors. Also some clubs have virtually no junior base anyway- Perth, Melbourne etc. Adelaide too if...
Can't even find my workbench, slight exaggeration. The garage is so full of crap I can't get on to tip as wife and daughter have been turning blind eye to helping me sort what's to go and what's to stay. No doubt if I took unilateral action id be in bad books. 🤪
I'm unsure of the expansion to 20 teams but it seems logical in enabling 2 x divisions of 10 teams. One constant thing over the last decade or so is people saying the season is too long. The 10 team divisions should help reduce the length but i am worried about the depth of talent available. We...
