Gee the love for Skelton is over the top.

Offered more then Luai on a fraction of his contract. In terms of bang for buck, he is top 10 players in the NRL.

and latu he is just as bad with injuries

No woods is worst than latu, Woods had a long term hamstring injury and did it again after like 30 mins on his return

You’d think we lost peak Jonah Lomu the way some of you are talking about Skelton. He’s okay, but he’s not a star. He’ll be a fringe first grader back at the Dogs too. Only a one year contract, which is what fringe first graders get.

I think Junior Tupou (although he came in mid-season) is our Skelton moving forward with Turuva on the other wing. Then it's up to Big Mak to displace Tupou. Hopefully we are still in for another depth outside back that brings speed, some experience & x-factor at a low cost (Schiller).

I never thought I would have said this but Junior was ok when he came back, he was actually catching bombs and doing ok for yardage, he was the least of our problems I thought.

Does Conti dominate the lower grades? Granted he was behind a beaten pack, but i didn’t see much to get excited about for Lebanon vs Tonga

If we want another young half I’d go for Coby black or Duffy from the broncos

Just based on watching games Turuva is on 450K and offers a similar output I don't think Skelton is that much worse then Turuva

Turuva's best is much better than Skelton in my opinion. His early season form was great. If he can maintain that he is a very good winger for us. I think the continued losses got to him. He is a big upbeat personality that plays his best when up. I think his dip was more to do with the team wearing his enthusiasm down

I'd be happier if Schiller/Chris was coming in for Skelton, we were assembling some depth in the outside backs now it feels a little short, guess there's still time, bit of a murmur one of the Tago's as well could cover the loss.

I am not shitting on Turuva, you know the opinion I have of Skelton, I like both of them

I also think Turuva will be in future leadership group
