Currently Sam isn't one of our best players and he hasn't done enough in either position yet to determine his best position. I was trying to find a comment I made last year regarding Samuela. One of his Blacktown coaches believed at the time that he was more suited to the middle even though he...

I found the guy we need. Kayliss Fatialofa. Him and KPP on the edges. Fainu to the middle.

Work rate is the non negotiable. No point signing someone if they can't give you more than 10 quality minutes. Next they need to be physical on at least one side of the ball (ideally both but that is pretty rare). Either needs to win the contact when tackling or break tackles and/or offload when...

Yeah it does sound definite until you add or otherwise at the end of the sentence.

He's already been spoken about enough but KPP and David Fifita are the best forwards able to be signed tomorrow. There's a few more a bit cheaper that I think is better than we have but not going to really change our fortunes such as Billy Burns, Lazarus Vaalepu, Josh Kerr. Players available...

Thanks. I interpret that as he confirms were looking not that someone had been signed that he was set to announce. The quote we will make announcements...about players we've signed or otherwise. The 'or otherwise' part to me suggests there were no confirmed signings, but good to know he is...

Only 1 bad game is debatable. Has he had any good games?

Does anyone know the actual quote from Richo? Did he actually say there will be 3 or more along the lines of he hopes to have, negotiating with or the roster needs or some other non-committal way of insinuating 3 might be coning?

See his stats above when he was playing between Wakeham and Nofoaluma. Its not the addition of Turuva.

Probably start rd 8 v Manly and read the stat lines each week up to the 2nd cows game. If youre watching highlights again start rd 8. He was strong in 9,10 and 11 but not sure how often will feature on the highlights but when watching also pay attention to where we are conceding breaks and...

Almost his whole body of work in 2023 was very good. It did take him a month to work into the season with him missing some games early on. Sure he has some quiet games but an outside back in a rubbish team is always going to struggle especially when he has Wakeham inside him. Everyone brings up...

No, not long term. I've been saying Toa is our best centre for 3 years now. I'm honestly shocked it's taken the rest of the forum this long to see it. But prior to '23 he has always been a guy who has had the skill to be a very good centre but not the work ethic. He seems to be a player that...

I'm not against Frizell as a player (though again not sure he has much left) but I am against him as a leader/mentor. He is known as a guy who does everything right but is quiet as mouse and not suited to a mentor role.

The clause is pretty much a part of every early release, not just this one. Matto and JOffa had one when they went to the eels.

Nanai was grade 1 and Thompson was grade 2. Clear difference is Thompson re-gripped to get into the crusher position where as Nanai did not and significant difference in force applied. More importantly Thompson's was 3rd offence so he copped loading

What's May ever won?

I'm not sure Kaufusi has another year of footy in him (and I hate his thuggery that he got away with his entire career at Melbourne) but he is one of the best edge defenders there is when it comes to reading a play and communicating with those outside him how they should react. He could...

It remains to be seen. I think on paper Api, Papallii, Klemmer, Bateman and Staines was a better recruitment drive. Especially when you also factor in the outgoings as well. Unfortunately, we didn't turn that recruitment into results for multiple reasons. Let's wait and see if Luai, May, Hunt...

He only played the one 15minute stint. How has that stretched him well beyond his capacity?He probably should have been subbed as soon as Luai was binned to get a more mobile defender on the field and since he was only a few minutes away from what you would imagine his planned time was but why...

Easily the best starting front rower, perhaps not the best front row rotation. With how May has been used but both might just play the 80.
