    It's the best time of the year. We can do better next season.

    This doesn't make sense to me considering we are paying Bula to be our long term fullback. I suppose we just wait and see and it's unlikely we get him anyway.

    Where would be play Welsby ? We have like 3 gun junior halves and a fullback we've signed long term. We desperately need some class players but we need to be somewhat strategic.

    To'a performed better than Olam last year and he was playing for the team that came last. I don't want to lose Blore but I can see how this movement makes sense.

    In the middle and on an edge. I don't want to lose him but I don't think he is great. Pole & Kit Laulilii are in my opinion better than Blore in the middle but Blore can also play on an edge. IP and Bateman haven't delivered value to us whereas Blore will. I think we can let him go but we've...

    So we were all wrong. Good to see.

    Some better rumours recently. Let's hope we get a decent signing or two plus release the right players. The union player looks the pick of the outside backs that I've seen mentioned.

    The problem is we need some spots available unless we are basically writing off next year. I think we've made some good decisions. We have a good pack on paper but we need Stef, Klemmer, Bateman and IP to perform significantly better. We have a couple of good young halves that may kick on over...

    Wooden spoons get won in the off season: Our 2,3,4,5.

    I think Brooks would be the no 1 pick in the halves if we had him next season. We have not solved the halves problem. That is like stating Hastings solved our halves problems. We are hopeful guys like Sullivan, Fainu and Galvin come good over the next couple of seasons and we end up with better...

    For his sake I hope he works on his defense and then maybe he can make it in the NRL but I think it's going to be tough for him.

    Where else could you play him ? I think he might be too slow for the centres but as you state his defense is the issue and that is going to be an issue wherever you play him.

    He is only under contract next season. I can't see him getting a shot in those positions and then he'd have to perform much better than he has in the past. Unless he performs somewhere he'll struggle getting an NRL contract the following season.

    I think he might do a job in the centres for us but there are two problems. His defense is puss. He also seems to believe he is an NRL level half or fullback and he wants the team to revolve around him. If he commits to playing at centre and works on his game he might come good which would be...

    Tupou is worth persevering with as well. He could be anything.

    I don't understand the hate for To'a. He is 23. I think he is easily our best outside back.

    I just posted the same basic point. These guys are more important but we are betting basically on quality juniors. Fainu, Sullivan and Galvin. I don't expect Galvin to play this season but over the next couple of seasons hopefully he'll come good. The Sezer signing is a funny one. It's a good...

    You'd expect this to be completely one sided. Ngannou in MMA wasn't exactly dominant. He has knock out power but MMA isn't boxing.

    To be honest I think we are much more dependent on our halves coming good than our outside backs. The problem is that outside backs that can actually have an impact makes the halves job a lot easier.

    I'd probably go with these guys in these positions. 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Starford To’a 4. Triston Reilly 5. Junior Tupou Ideally we get Staines or some other fast outside back. Nofo and Tupou can hit the ball up hard and score points. I like To'a. Centres like Staggs go missing regularly...

    We have no spots available right now. It'll be interesting if they sign anyone and if so who they release.
