I don't want a solid middle, we have enough of those. I want a dominant prop in the James fisher Harris mould hits hard in both attack and especially defence and plays 50mins. If we have to wait till 2027, so be it.

Yes he can and should.

I wonder who really picks the team. Even before Galvin joined ciraldo did not seem too excited about getting him. Having said that he just extended with Gus so maybe he enjoys being dominated.

Agree he has to step up , what you say is correct. I would be working on making Latu, and maybe AD as a more dominant 7 and have a similar set up to the storm with Hughes and Munster. Luai is not best utilised getting us to points on the field and kicking us out of trouble. His skillset should...

I didn't see Pezet set the world on fire last night, had some great kicks that dropped within 2m of the tryline. Other than that he never got a decent kick in to his wingers and there were many opportunities to do it. I also noticed massive gaps down the middle when they were attacking the dogs...

On balance i think Luai was worth what we payed him this yr, he came at a time when we were scraping the bottom of the barrel with no decent experienced halves, an emerging FB and a 7 who left with great fanfare in the media (brooks) and a prop who decided he could develop better elsewhere...

He is not a 7, not fast, passes are slow, footy smarts non existent, kicking game very ordinary. Gus may have a plan for him next year, however if they persist trying to play him at 7 or 6, they will not make the 8. Also don't think he has the ticker to play 13 tends to shy away from contact...

Excitement

I get some ppl showing love for AD at halfback, however, other than his kicking I have not seen a solid 7 in his attacking game. To be fair we don't have a great deal of performances at 7 to judge him on. What I can say is I saw more glimpses of Latu as a genuine 7 than I did AD. Don't get me...

I'm fairly certain there will be conga line of clubs willing to pay more than $500k for Mark. Let Richo focus on getting us a decent middle and perhaps a backup outside back on the cheap. Making a less than committed play for another premier winger will just rock the boat with the guys that are...

Was on $650k at Panthers, we are paying $625k, all said it's pretty fair for both parties...$500k was taking the piss, if true.

Yep, he would probably also kill it at 7 (in that side), let Burto do all the kicking from 6 and he could probably also unlock Galvin at right centre.

Still think Roosters have a soft underbelly and will not be able to keep up when the better quality teams go up a gear. Dogs will probably go out in straight sets as they have been going at top gear for the first 3/4 of the year and have run out of steam. Penrith and Storm are still the 2 that...

I love Taylan...however this is a stretch, Critta turns games on his own. I would argue he is the best Half/Centre and FB in that side.

I would argue that we had most of our injuries in key positions FB (bula) Centre (Toa) 2RF(Samuela) where we have zero depth Pole was out for a few games and Hunt came in and shit the bed. Our depth is the issue, we cannot cover injuries...storm have Wishart, Pezet, Faalago and about a hundred...

is it fit Is it fitness and attitude or an ordinary bench, it's no coincidence we lost the last 2 games after a key injury and in the back end of the second half...after we looked like certainties when our starting 13 were on the field.

I saw that during the game and commented to some of my dogs mates that the kid is all about himself...they now agree.

It's so obvious with us—everyone blames our halves for our poor red zone attack, but it really comes down to our forwards not finding their front and providing a fast play-the-ball. I love Terell, but geez, he moves in slow motion when he gets up to play the ball. Watch Makasini's play-the-balls...

I don't see Terell as a 13, his passes are not very crisp and he also does not have a great step to get outside a defender. I think his most impact will be limiting his minutes to maybe 25 - 30 per half and focussing on hitting the line with some venom and offloading the ball when the...

Whilst it might be exciting for us as fans to lock players in for multiyear contracts on unders, I do believe it ends up blowing up in the club's face when players performances show they are worth much more in the open market and start getting suitors and managers begin the agitating and it...
