I vividly remember Skelton’s contract with us being reported as 225k last season up to 250k for this season. At that price he is great value and even if we increase him to 300k he’s still good value.

Have you had a look what middle forwards are currently available for 2027 ? Besides Kaiden Lahrs and Sam Hughes, there is no middles that there is nobody that would even register any interest.

I very much dou I very much doubt we would get the best out of Doueihi if we moved him back to right centre. I think it’s halves or lock for him moving forward, but if he plays 13 it could only be for 40mins per game maximum.

I thought he played well in his limited time on the field against the Panthers. He showed he has the ability to play on an edge and in the middle, which will put him well and truly in the discussion for our NRL bench. I have no idea if he’s looking at Perth Bears as an option or not for 2027...

Talent ID and developing the right players through to NRL is not as easy as it would seem. I’ve watched the Broncos Qld Cup team trials and although they are going well on the scoreboard, they only have a couple of decent NRL prospects coming through, most of their team are journeyman and...

Like most teams, they are still ok with their top 17, but very thin after that. I think this is where we have caught up and gone past a lot of other teams as we now have quite a few positions where if we have someone out the replacement player is just as good.

I reckon Melbourne Storm are now lacking depth, first time in a long while.

I’m not sure if Andrews is quick enough for a centre, but if he is he’s certainly good enough in all other areas.

Tavana is really showing them all the way in his ability and effort to compete on so many high balls. He hasn’t quite got the height and size of Zac Lomax, but effort to compete for the high balls and aerial ability is very Zac Lomax like.

I agree his injuries are a worry. Maybe between he and To’a we can get the majority of a season between them.

Yes the overall 1-7 is not up to the required standard. Have a look at the tries conceded yesterday, mostly out wide. In saying that it was Glassie’s first game of the season, he showed glimpses of his ability and he’s highly aggressive, he has plenty of upside. Josh Vella is playing a year up...

Jeral is off contract at the end of this season, I’d say either use him or lose him. I think he’s too good to lose, we need to use him. Whether we think he deserves it or not, Turuva is not being left out of our NRL line up, so o think we need to at least try a right hand side of Skelton and...

Very good summary. I’m a big fan of them both, but I think Doueihi’s running threat is too important to be left out. I appreciate what Luai brings to us in way of his leadership and competitiveness, but do we really lose that much if he misses a game and we have a halves combination of Jock at...

The Eels are a low club, I hope Lomax plays for Melbourne and scores 4 tries against them.

If he continues on his current trajectory 700k will be a bargain.

They should not be letting any Ron Massey Cup team score any tries against them. Max Taotua is a beast who is an attacking weapon, but needs plenty of work on his defence. I hope our coaching staff are working hard with he and his brother, particularly on their effort areas as they can both...

I like the look of the tall blonde right second rower, he is the goal kicker I think ? He got whacked and dropped a ball yesterday, but he is very willing, looks to have good mobility for a bigger lad and I think he shows plenty of potential. Plenty of the forwards go after contact and although...

@balmain boy i understand your disappointment and I’m sure everyone involved would be disappointed, but I watched the majority of all 4 games and I saw at least a couple of players in each team really shine and show quality despite the scoreboard. I will do a more in depth review of the players...

The chances are he will command more than that if he continues to show what he’s shown during our 2 trial games.

Thanks BWG I haven’t watched it yet, but based on your comments it’s pretty much what you would expect. This is the problem with Saukuru, he’s an absolute wrecking ball with plenty of size and speed, but is very inconsistent and doesn’t assert his dominance near as much as what he should. I do...
