Luai & Fainu are obviously options 1 & 2 at this stage. Mason (love the Shaun Berrigan comparison) is a good guy to have in reserve. Add in Doueihi as an option. I'd still want 1 more in the mix. It could be as easy as Sullivan comes back & he's that guy. But, if he moves on, I think you have...

You can't have 'too many' quality players. Right now Turuva, Skelton, To'a & Doueihi are 1st team with Luke Lualili'i, Staines & now Taylan May in the mix, Add in Junior Tupou (would absolutely bring him back) & Makasini to the mix. That is quality depth. The 'top end' of the talent MIGHT not...

Doueihi covers all the backline positions. The best players between To'a, Doueihi & May (and anyone else in contention) should be selected & the other ones provide solid depth either in KOE or on the bench. It's that kind of depth that makes clubs successful.

Charlie is exactly the type of guy you want floating between the Top 30 & KOE squad. Thought he did a decent job being Charlie Murray last night. Didn't overplay his hand, did what he was asked. If the players we bring into the 1st grade squad when injuries strike hard are "Charlie Murray...

Makes sense..

Wasn't it Klein in charge the game Cobbo kept the ball 'in' while running about a metre & a half out of touch earlier in the year?

This team really needed Ben Hunt.

It's possible we go as high as #10th if we beat the Panthers. With a bye to come.

Luai @ #7 looked significantly more effective with another half not crowding him or taking the ball 50% of the time. Let's see if the next 4-5 games changes opinions.

Plenty of dud calls. Very good forward pack. Just need some direction. They are a good #9 & #7 away from being a good team.

Which players has Benji been moving around?

We're still as soft as a 7/11 Slushie through the middle. Whoever we look to recruit next, the club needs to find a way to stop teams running through soft tackles. Note- not bad tacklers. Terrell May, Pole, Seyfarth, Twal...all ok defenders. But they simply can't stop a strong charge. Too...

I personally would look at it. I get what Ink & a few others are saying. But you KNOW he comes with some personality questions. So you structure a contract that let's both parties move if needed. As a player, with Fifita & KPP on the edges, I think the Tigers would be close to elite as far as...

If that pass from Latu to Seyfarth is a precursor of things to come.....Latu to KPP might be amazing.

Is it Jack?

We are soft as Wendy's through the middle. Even with a Top 3 prop in May. If there is a hard man available in the squad, or elsewhere, that can stiffen up the defence through the middle- then add them. But until then, Sam is still the most likely to dominate in defence we have. What May does...

That, and my years of sitting on inside knowledge that I make up in my own head....

Agreed. Which is why you add a bunch of mutual options to the contract & never assume he is your long term answer. 2 good seasons at the Broncos before he went south. 4 pretty good seasons in a poor team before going south in the 5th. I think, if he's not the guy you rely on, he's fine. For...

To a degree. It's risk/reward. For Fifita, if he's 'on', he's worth a bucketload. But, if he gets lazy... I think it's more about 'how easily can you get out of the contract if it's not working'.

I think Sam has the makings of a great player. I also think that KPP & Fifita on the edges helps the club more, now. Also, I keep saying it, we lack that enforcer/physicality that good teams have. Sam is the most likely guy on the roster to be that guy. Unless we are adding an aplha from...
