This is the most wins we have had to start a season since 2019 (at round 9). In that year, we lost in round 10 to the Storm 24-22 at Melbourne

I thought Luai running our attack and kicking today was much better, Galvin is a solid partner in the interim Our defence really let us down, not sure what happened there as we normally do okay

We so desperately need depth signings, Naden is not the answer at Centre. I can tolerate him on the wing but he shouldn’t play centre again Benji needs to use the bench better, T. May playing 80 is not sustainable TDS should have come on when we were up by 16 points, very silly to keep him on...

Very scared, these are the games we normally lose. When on the verge of 8th, we lose and get knocked back a few until we are last. I really hope this year is different and we win, whether by 1 or more. Luai needs a big game if we are gona take this home

Bit worried about Staines, has he played a game all season?

Lot of money, think he’s worth 750k on the market atm. Someone desperate would pay 8-900k but I don’t think there is really a shortage of good fullbacks out there

Payne Haas comes off contract in November 👀

I don’t mind him, but please for the love of god stay away from dummy half

Was he boo’d?

Doesn’t he have the best win/loss % in the game atm? Better than Cleary? Hughes, Cleary, Moses, maybe DCE are the only halves who could be better than him IMO He is definitely top 5

He honestly is doing a fantastic job, we are 4/7 with him in the team, two of those losses by 2 points 4/6 with him playing halfback, both losses by 2 points He is proving to be a phenomenal signing, and the most influential along with May

He and Turuva have that edge locked down forever We just need a right hand centre to gel with Skelton

The next two weeks are our season on the line Sharks and Dragons, tough games but winnable. We play the Storm after, Rabbits then the bye. We need to nab 6 points over that period to stay in touch with the 8

Doesn’t make sense from our perspective either. We have 3 available spots in top 30 for this year, possibly 4. Plenty of cap room, he wouldn’t be on anything at all and we are slim on forwards How does it make sense to let him go immediately unless we have someone in return?

Yeah but that is all we have contracted, pending what happens with Galvin and Sullivan We have a lot of work to do, I would add: Jackson Hastings Morgan Harper Adam Doueihi Solona Faatape Siliva Havili Siosua Taukhiaho For depth, could do worse than them as back ups non reserve grade...

So it looks like we have the following stock for 2026 Fullback: Jeream Bula Wing/Centre: Luke Lauilili, Jeral Skelton, Sunia Turuva, Starford Toa Halves: Latu Fainu, Jerome Luai Hooker: TDS, Api Koroisau Prop: Sione Fainu, Terrell May, Fonua Pole, Kit Lauilli, Royce Hunt Backrow...

Could do worse than signing him for depth He could cover 1, 6, 7, 9 and 14 in the event of injuries He didn’t seem to have any culture issues whilst here before He is the kind of player we should be targeting for depth

Staggs at lock? If KPP signed here, I wouldn’t be opposed to releasing Galvin to get him early I think he slots into Seyfarths spot and Seyfarth adds aggression off the bench, Bird for depth

Sandon Smith > Galvin Generational player lol

Wouldn’t be any mid season players as they would ordinarily waive the cooling off period which is what would have delayed the announcement So that safely rules out Taylan May I doubt it’s DCE Might be some depth players, don’t have my hopes up for anyone special
