I’m better to say nothing, but I will say any fullback worth over 900k does not have halves as ineffective as that, not even trials.

Surely Benji can see that Seyfarth struggles in attack when playing on an edge, but when we simplify his role in the middle he’s a very handy player.

Agree that Charlie Murray has looked good. He’s bulked up since last year which appears to have helped him be much better in contract. He has to be very close to our top 17.

He would be on the minimum top 30 wage 150 or 160k wouldn’t he ?

I was one of Starford’s bigger fans a couple of seasons back when he had plenty of critiques. Too many half hearted games have really turned me off him, but let’s hope he comes out tonight and shows us all that he is back to somewhere close to his best.

I think we win tonight which will be good for the morale heading into the 2026 season.

His 2nd stint was much better and he started to show what he is capable of. First time playing amongst NRL players, he will be much better for it.

I’m near certain Naden would have happily stayed with us for another season on the minimum wage. Nado had a good NRL career, but did not reach anywhere near his potential based on his natural ability. I’ve seen Patrick Herbert play a few NRL games in beast mode where he was too physical for his...

I don’t know how much he weighs, but I think Christian Taupau-Moors is a lot bigger than what some may think. I’d say he is around 106-110kgs and is not carrying any excess weight, so it’s a very good size for a tall, aggressive and mobile young prop. I think the plan is for him to play plenty...

Legends, very well done! Great review on the trial win and great to see some of our emerging players validate you both highlighting them as players to watch for quite some time 👍 Nicely finished with your regular pathways info. I was thinking Wests Magpies SG Ball might struggle to win a game...

So we have to hope Starford shows no discomfort from his shoulder injury or Herbert can step on and be at his best. It could be worse, but not ideal.

Didn’t Taylan just re-sign with us until the end of 2028 and I think Makasini is currently signed until the end of 2027 on a deal worth 375k per season. Maybe we can front load and upgrade his contract to extend him for an extra year until the end of 2028 also and if that is done we could relax...

I don’t mind the idea of Skelton potentially at right centre. Would Taylan May be comfortable and just as good at right centre which would allow Makasini to play in his favoured left centre position?

Makasini and Taupau-Moors fit the height, size, fitness and speed description, Ethan Roberts fits the description and as you say the Taotua brothers and Lachlan Broederlow also fit the description. The Taotua brothers and Broederlow are frustrating as they always show glimpses of using their...

Especially the Bulldogs, Eels and Roosters. All 3 get talked up to be much better clubs than what they are.

Not knowing the extent of his injury when we re-signed him late last season is an even bigger concern. Let’s see if he comes out on Friday night and shows no discomfort, we can only hope.

There is a shortage of quality centres emerging. I know what you’re saying and I have long agreed with you that our talent ID and emerging player recruitment could certainly be better in way of position specific height, weight & speed etc But it’s not always as simple as what it seems as there...

I remember him playing in a trial a few seasons back, but I don’t remember him doing anything too exciting. Logan Brookes is one that will need to be dominant playing NSW Cup before he comes under NRL consideration and it’s likely he will start the season playing fullback in Jersey Flegg so he...

Good watch once again, but don’t be surprised if Heath Mason makes a crucial line break against the Panthers and starts to change the mind of some of his doubters.

He (Logan Brookes) looks to have added a fair bit of size over the off season. He doesn’t look very tall, but he is now strongly built and I don’t think it’s a bad idea to at least see how he goes as a right centre. I’m confident he would handle it well in attack, but like many young centres it...
