    Fonua Pole #257

    I don't see a lack of effort. He's just not 100% switched on all game. Sione has become the starter in my opinion. With KPP on board, Sione moves back to the front row. Pole & Hunt off the bench gives some impact.

    OFFICIAL Royce Hunt #298

    Since coming back into 1st grade I'm happy enough. Can he be upgraded? Sure. But not by what we have in the squad.

    I'm not sure Corey Allan provides anything that Naden, Mapapalangi, Tu'itupou, Saukuru or Heath Mason don't already offer. Could be as simple an issue as, if the depth at centre gets tested, Adam Doueihi or Jack Bird need to fill in. I think May, To'a & Makasini along with Doueihi, Bird...

    Been saying the same thing- we lack that guy who tries to turn the momentum for us- a big hit, line speed, not getting bullied etc. You know who I'd recommend anyway.

    Make it a round 50. Make it easier on us for the Titans.

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    The most important signing of the past decade in my opinion.

    OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May #301

    Much more powerful than I remember him at Penrith. Genuine danger in attack that gives us a player able to break the line. Lets just hope he keeps his head straight, because he's an outstanding addition.

    Latu Fainu #282

    Looked good today. Effort is there- he just has to put the pieces together. Once he came off with that HIA, the structure fell apart & Drinkwater took advantage.

    OFFICIAL Jeral Skelton #294

    Skelton & Turuva have really upgraded our wing spots & offered great metres on early tackles all season.

    3-2-1 3 2 1 vs Cowboys

    3. Terrell May & Alex Twal- both lead through actions in the middle. Set the defensive tone when on. Wasn't their defence that let us down. 2. Luai- getting so much better as the season goes on. 1. Turuva, Taylan May, Sam Fainu, Bula...all were good. Skelton on his early tackle runs was good...

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Our forwards are pretty complete in many ways. Just need elite athletes, power runners or 'hard men'. We don't have room to get all of those things. I still think that Zyon Maiu'u is worth a look- he's that hard running type, but also an elite athlete. Is he a risk? Yes. Probably why I...

    OFFICIAL Royce Hunt #298

    I thought Royce was pretty good last week. We can't have 1 run for 8m & 3 tackles types of games from him. If he gets genuine gametime, and genuine touches of the ball, Royce is fine.

    Magical 9 Wins

    Don't think it's possible to replicate that team, the circumstances. But I think the blueprint can, and has, been copied to a degree. Reliance on bringing young players through, one solid spending spree to bring in the right mix of quality to guide the young players, a few little touch ups to...

    Your team vs Cowboys

    El Zakhem isn't a kid, that was my thinking. We want to continue the run, bringing in experienced heads just helps with decisions. Taateo probably earns the spot though. Both have put out decent numbers in the last few weeks, and Taateo has earned a starting role, so his progression works.
