Actually I thought he started to show signs of his previous form towards the end of the season and was just getting started. He has had a few injuries on the trot and early on looked unsettled and hesitant but I think a solid preseason and a new club would bring him back to the player he can be...
On a less drastic note…. I was certainly one hoping that the club wouldn’t re-sign Mason both for his sake and ours.
I can see him being better off taking up an opportunity at a new club. As much as he tried hard whenever given the chance, he was not going to add much to our current roster...
Souths roster very up in the air. Campbell Graham off contract - if they are making a play for Sam Walker, Graham would be a great inclusion for us as a centre/winger option. I think he’s coming back to his old form after a horror run of injuries and could well have a huge 2027 season.
Rather...
Thought Paseka was a good option for us if Manly willing to subsidise it, however posters mentioning his injury status concerns me. Wasn’t aware that he had problems.
Not sure that Murray is a current re-signing I think he was signed into the top30 for 2 years in 2025. Mason and Sukkar will be, however. The question is whether there are better usages of those valuable spots in the 30.
The ideal final pieces to complete our current squad IMO are:
Top 17 Prop...
Not interested in JAC he’s well past his prime and he’s an idiot to boot. Rather a young bloke who wants to learn and improve without the bullcrap attitude.
The Maeve character is just a shocker isn’t she. Mirrin does a great job. Stirring up trouble continuously. Loved the chat Harry had with her after he rescued his daughter in Ireland.
A little concerned we are hearing nothing regarding Fonua. No speculation could mean that it’s a done deal one way or the other - he’s either told us he’s gone, or he's made a commitment to the club that he’s staying.
The talk around Stef leaving the Storm is a concern as that would certainly...
Watched both of these- they are both really good.
Felt that Slow Horses has gotten better each season as the characters developed - the first 2 seasons were OK, however really enjoyed it since then. Have watched all 6 seasons and understand that there will be seasons 7 & 8.
Mobland is totally...
Even if he had the necessary characteristics, ability and athleticism, any improvement would have to start with a change in attitude. The best centres WANT to tackle, they WANT to make a statement with their D. They WANT to dominate their opponent. They are very aggressive in defence.
Solo does...
Edge players need great technique in D as they often have players coming at them who have had room to wind up or multiple attackers as part of set plays or block plays with decoy runners etc. They also often don’t have as much support in D and need to effect solid 1on1 tackles. They need foot...
