Subjective opinion. Many disagree. Yep, that'll happen when you're a junior, defensive based edge who isn't given much ball. He had 1 on the weekend. So.... false. Define 'small and weak', because he's objectively neither. Hahahahahahahaha.... you mean like I suggested two pages ago...

Easy, he currently plays second rower to an acceptable ability when called upon and the discussion prior was on the fact that he also looked suited to the middle as well. That makes him versatile.

Very dismissive of his ability to sell his vision to potential signings there. Yes. Obviously.

You won't catch me defending Benji's coaching prowess, but you're trying to corner your opponent here unfairly... Something like 'the fact the players love him', whilst intangible in some ways, is ABSOLUTELY something he has brought to the table. In fact, most coaches who are sacked tend to...

To be fair, I don't think your post kicked off that ethnicity discussion. .... In fact I don't know what kicked off that discussion.

I've spoken with Rob in the past. I'd say the passion is the same, but we vary on a lot of topics too. He brings a lot of good conversation to the table, V.

That one is news to me. I don't disagree that lower clubs need to offer overs. But it's not either /or, it's a spectrum, much like the one I'm probably somewhere on... You need balance in these offers and it needs to be thought through and managed. Sheens and McDonnell brought sledgehammers...

My post?

It's borderline lunacy. He's been BETTER in a number of areas this year.

Hopefully. I'd have him on the bench over Seyfarth tomorrow. And could cover both. We still need more edge threats.

Yes. They are, easily, no better than our pack. But read the words carefully, I'm not saying, for a moment, that we are streaks ahead. The output seems on par this season, but with a caveat; our pack, with the exception of May, have been underperforming. The Parra pack have been playing to...

I don't think that accurately reflects the situation. You're right in that not everyone makes it, but you keep as many as you can as long as you can to maximise your odds. You then need to be good at identifying talent within and without of that group. The Warren and Tim show just signed them...

Yep. I think Sukkar is definitely an NRL squad player I want to keep, but in the middle. He is a very well-rounded, versatile young player. Also tackles at 94% on an edge in first grade, well above the best in that position in the game, including the likes of Hudson Young and Crichton.

In the way that they signed up the likes of Webster-Mansfield, Laulili'i, Miller, Fa'agutu, Tumeth, Matamua, et al, to long-term, Top 30- (or at least dev- ) guaranteed positions long term. The messaging around the likes of TDS and Galvin ought to be brought into questions too as the attitudes...

Lucky Warren McDonnell and Sheens are long gone around here then. They did more damage to our cap and squad than they get credit for.

Agree with the first part, not with the second. Parra's pack is average. Super average. They are playing closer to their ability though, some of ours; not so much. I think it's safe to say that Ryles is getting more out of the forwards he has than Benji is.

The way he played on the weekend, you could put Tito in the forwards and he'd run rings around some of our middles.

100% Sukkar should be moved to the middle. He is strong in contact, is very consistent, decent at the wrestle, is a far stronger carry than people give him credit for, and is still very young. I think he can go the Sam McIntyre mould, develop into a strong, consistent, reliable middle by his...

Sione is perfect. He has shed kilos over the last few years to be at his current playing weight and has been in great form this season as a result. Sam will fill out over time. His frame will take a bit of time to hold mass I think. He'll be one that will come back one of these off seasons and...

😂 I'm the one who said they're not... You've got no idea what I think, but I'd bet all three of my children that they're not on 'close to a million combined'. Yep. Clubs lose juniors. Clubs keep juniors. Focus on what you want. Who are you arguing with? I only said they're not on close...
