coach adel not far off the money
but we do have some money to sign a good first grader, i would be expecting them to target another center and a hooker

wouldnt suprise me if we get a few resigning next week

been told attard may make a debut after the bye , and that starford is on the outer may find himself at another club next year

Is there any chance we can expedite Starford to find himself at another club next week ?
Problem is no NRL team will take him once they watch the tape of any games he has played this season, so our only chance of getting rid of him early is him taking up a Super League offer.
Interestingly his stats from Saturday’s game against the Panthers were decent, but actually watching the game does not tell the same story.

I watched the NSW Cup game v Panthers for a 2nd time tonight to have a closer look at a few players.

To’a looks broken in his body language and favours his arm noticably. He was also put away by Attard down the wing and looked slow & heavy. Another time Attard made a miraculous chase down tackle with To’a giving up on the chase looking spent. He had moments but nothing more than NSW Cup quality moments.

On the flip side, Attard was very good. Classy with touches, a couple of huge effort plays showing his speed & backed up well. Also noticably marshalled the defence on the line. His main weakness at this point is strength in tackling the big boys running straight at him but that will come in time.

Attard played alot of wing at Penrith and also some time at 5/8 maybe he could play wing in first grade if not many players are available

The simple truth is alot of the boys we are criticising really weren't meant to play 1s, they were here to strengthen cup so we could bring our young fellas into a positive environment and teach them the right way. Unfortunately we have had to play them and it's hurt

That's called piss poor recruitment. Everyone in your top 30 should bring a minimum amount of value.

We're effectively playing with a top 20 after several years or shocking recruitment under Benji.

Don’t know I’ve ever seen him take anything too seriously, don’t see any competitiveness in him at all - even when he had that one good game that time.

Has always come across like he wants all the perks without putting in the work.

You'd think given the bye week Samuela & Latu wouldn't be far off finalising.

Pole maybe? Based on media.

Any idea what's happening with Skelton? I think you said he may be heading to Parra? If Starford going as well we really need a few backs depths signing for next year.

He is on a minimum Top 30 contract …like Hope and Mason …. When they signed Herbert the expectation was that he would be behind Toa … Toa had other ideas

Cheers Kade. It was said by a few here in preseason but it was a pretty big error from Benji going into the season relying on May, To'a and Makasini to cover centre. One a kid, one injury prone and another who has played very little footy recently.

If Starford has checked out send him back to RMC and Tautua a crack in cup, or Skelton a go in the centres
