I’m of the belief that To’a will continue to disappoint, be a passenger and let us down but, hopefully I am wrong as our success in 2026 appears to have a heavy reliance on him playing consistently well for us at right centre.

Agree, but also seemed as though he was carrying a significant injury for half the year. Hopefully that’s what was restricting his performances.

This is from a few years back but think they still use the same mob

Yes it is but the NRL tell them the major points of the season like who plays in Vegas who has byes around origin and who plays in last weekend of the year and what days they play on and the computer does the rest and it's a few draws they are presented with before making final choice

So it's rigged but we get an outside company to rig it for us So All Is Good
 
Bird is looking elsewhere too (some behind-the-scenes stuff I promised not to share) so could have another roster spot before the start of next season. I love his energy but didn't really find his spot here.

Also, the tigers would love Talakai but doubt the Sharks will let him go after his late-season form (their words). They see him as the perfect utility, best suited in the middle off the bench but can cover edge and centre. I guess it'll come down to salary cap pressure.

The clubs get preferences taken into it as well

Great analysis and suggestions @Vicious

I just can't see many more incomings & just have a feeling that Jack Bird will see out his contract with us.

I certainly can see Siosifa Talakai coming in & being a lock rotation with AD (to provide a burst of impact) plus add versatility to the bench for backrow, middle & centre.

Have been an advocate for Corey Allan too as a depth outside back but would prefer Albert Hopoate for his upside (although risky). Have a feeling this spot may be given to Izaak Tui'tupou though.

Tyson Smoothy would be awesome but not sure he'd get quit on his ESL commitment before even starting it. Can see Soni Luke being given a pre-season T&T to put a case forward.

Fletcher Baker or Jack Hetherington as that depth prop with experience.

For an outside back id look at Fletcher Myer just released from Souths before Corey Allen. He's young, would be cheaper and the kid is way faster than Allen with a higher potential upside
