Can you give me examples of 3 locks or props youd replace him with based on the perfromance you are looking for? Not unrealistic players e.g. haas. Just trying to understand who exactly you are comparing him to

No I cannot. Other than I’ve been to busy this year to watch any games other than ours, so no I do think I am in that kind of position to, and I’m sure we have quality people in place that get paid to make it it happen. But from what I’m reading lately is there are not 3 props and/or locks on the market, not that we need 3.
I’m not comparing Twal to anyone, I just know to make our team better we need at least one more NRL run on prop or lock.
Twally for a real meat pie 🥧 this year please 🙏.
I also reckon we are only one good prop/lock away from being 9th.
 
Losing Sam would be horrific, but he’ll be in demand, so shit happens unfortunately. On the other hand, losing Latu would be the biggest self own. Extending and prioritising him was a layup after Galvin left, but for whatever reason, the club sat on their hands.

He was at the Raiders when they won the minor premiership, but he was coaching attack

He was also the NYC cup coach and NRL defence assistant for Newcastle in 2012-2014

Defensive rating
2012: 10th
2013: 5th
2014: 11th

Sounds like a good signing. Doesnt bode well for the WTF's boy Logan Deninger though

I am certainly a fan of you g Logan. But this is what professional clubs do. Don't just have one promising talent, have multiple players across grades and let the best player rise to the top. Logan, Attard and now Bryenton who's the most explosive player we've signed since Benji.

The kid had a massive fall out with the Dogs. The homesickness thing was just a cover, the broken promises disillusioned him. He felt duped by his manager into signing quickly with the dogs and the dogs failed on their promises for him.

A bit of ego to the kid. But to be told we see you as our future first grade fullback and have a pathway set out to them immediately say we're going to play you out of position was a real slap in the face. Reeca Walsh is a fair shout.

I do wonder whether we've offered him an NRL or development contract but it does seem confirmed that he's joining us. If he trains hard and works on his game I could see him replacing Bula by the end of next season. Bula belongs in the wing. It's where he started and where he belongs. Could be an Alex Johnson type player one day.
 
Honestly we have a competitive top 17 with what we have held on to these past 3 seasons, I’m hopeful Pole Samuela Makasini Latu can really transition to what we need to compete with the “real” clubs who back their youth.
Mann Brailey Frizzel will not hurt our squad.
Anyone who is not impressed by the phenomenal promise of Javon Attard and this new guy Breynton is a half glass full fan.
Finally held some gun juniors fu$k having to watch Tallyn Galvin Uto rip it up at other clubs gives me trauma

We lack a genuine superstar. I know this kid is young but he can create something on his own and out of nothing. Hopefully in a couple years he could be our Ponga/walsh/faalago
