Looks like Tupou is coming anyway according to good old Ali.

If you want to split hairs over rosterish type arguments you can argue that we had our highest paid player (Farah), a backrower (Sironen), another backrower (Lawrence), another backrower (Aloiai) and then Tedesco and Woods out. Then there is the fact they have a better roster than us anyway...

Ah that explains that. Hope he is alright for next week.

I am really concerned about our juniors. I hope we have a team of scouts out in the bush and are poaching the absolute eyeballs out of the juniors at other clubs. We just got spanked by 80 in NYC and our SG Ball and HM sides haven't been very good for years either. Given we have a new coach, new...

They tried. In fact they scored enough points to win and nearly defended enough to win also. Just got beaten in moments. Really tough loss to take those because there's not much else you could have done except for the individual players who fell off tackles or threw poor passes in the clutch...

The thing is, is that even with them having 5 players out vs. our 2 out. We still weren't as good a side on paper. We had a far more inexperienced team. Our roster is just plain woeful. And this is most likely because we have nearly $1,000,000 playing for other teams. We played better than...

Yikes that was a hell of a debut. He has a huuuuuge engine. Permanent starter imo.

I thought he was really good. Massive upgrade on Moses. Far better foil to Brooks. I like the combo.

And yet the Cowboys have Thurston, Morgan and Laybutt already. We have Brooks, Reynolds and nobody. Tui is apparently playing fullback. He would have been useful as.

We let Rankin go. We will be getting someone surely?

Yeah that's excellent from by Tommy isn't it.

Salary cap works! That team has signed our best player for next year. Huzzah for the salary cap!

Moar signings plz

Lots underneath the surface to Lovett. Rough as guts to watch play but most couldn't rack up 47 tackles. ET gets reverence for similar output and has way more experience. Maybe should start being pragmatic about Lovett.

Comparisons don't have to equate to equality. He has shades of both.

Lovett is a weird one. He was the opposite of Chee Kam. A damaging centre that got too big. Lovett is a footy player whose physical development limited his learned skills the other way. He would be better off at a club with established forwards to learn from.

It's the right kind of arrogance. He is unflappable and believes in himself. He has no emotion on the field. The C Smith comparisons are all about his character. He reminds people of Smith because of his demeanour not his play. He plays more like Issac Luke.

Marsters is the perfect project player. He was a walk on that trained the house down and got a spot in the 20s side. Kept shining every game when people has no idea who he was. Kept shining when people wondered if he was a flash in the pan. Kept grinding when despite his rise he wasn't handed...

Drinkwater was always better than Littlejohn. He has less athleticism but a lot more footy nous.

Chee Kam is a weird one. He has the body of a good centre and the physical skills for the role but grew up as a second rower and stopped growing. He has too many forwards habits for a centre. Doesn't offer the finesse needed for a centre but he isn't physically impactful enough for an NRL...
