Speaking of ordinary wingers. Blake Wilson to the Bears.

Was interested to see if he’d come on with an opportunity - just didn’t happen.
Some times (most times) blokes are in reserve grade just because they’re reserve graders.

Going to see more of these guys playing first grade given PVL wants 22 teams.

What a dickhead.

Schiller is not the answer. 25 year old who only managed 1 NRL game last year and was jumped by younger players like Hunt and De Courcey in the pecking order.

The man can play, he can break tackles hunt can only catch

I don’t really do stats, but do your eyes really tell you different Bud?

Without thinking about it to much,
there’s 16 wingers in the top 8 he mostly wouldn’t best.

I don’t have much of an issue with him, he’s probably as good as we can get - but he’s barely mid tier when looking at what all the other wingers do.

Seems I’m not on my own,
most coaches in the comp prefer tall fast wingers - he’s neither.

Kev Naiqama like you reckon?

Good coaching and a bit of luck and opportunity can still see Schiller become a high quality NRL player.
There is only a limited number of players who are tall, strong, fast, capable of breaking tackles at will and capable of scoring long range tries due to sheer speed.

Terrible human what’s he done
If it’s just what you’ve seen on the pitch you really are a tough judge

He's a well known POS growing up in the Hunter. Multiple eye gouges on the field is just a reflection of the man off the field

Turuva isn't a top 20 winger, but he's not on top 20 money. Not sure why he's getting hammered

450k for him is fair imo

People loved him for 5 mins when he was about to sign with us just before Souths swooped in,

Some did and some didn't,he would probably be one of my most disliked footballers of all time.I certainly did not want him here.

I'd bet that it's in the Top 20 of Salaries for Wingers.
Addo Carr is on that I believe.

Reasonably fair comparison probably...

If he hadn’t debuted on the end of that Panthers backline, there wouldn’t be the amount of fanfare that there is. It definitely catapulted him.
