So if they get a work visa to work in Australia and get selected to play for PNG, it becomes tax free?

In theory Latu and Andrews sounds great. But Benji is beholding to Doueihi staying in the halves. Benji should do an Albo trick and "Change His Position" IE. start rehearsing the Latu-Andrews combo this year! Doueihi plays where he is told and Luai KOE.

Let's hope Benji has a look into a mirror to reflect where he has gone this year----backwards----and does something about it. EG. Take some opposing advice onboard, NOT as CRITISISM but ADVICE. Different points of view, take it onboard. It just may help win games?

He's 15 yrs and only signed for next year. Not a big deal.

"A coach will always pick his best players because his livelihood depends on it." I used to think that way-----------But Benji broke that myth. Livelihood assured or big farewell cheque. I was ridiculed asking was Bula injured? --the reply was immediate surgery. Haha. And questioned why...

Not a bad selection: Probably in line with Benji's reasoning; But I like the idea of Madden as the managing half and the play maker Andrews at 5/8. We need to change our proven crap attack. Doueihi to centres would improve our speed out wide with more conventional plays as opposed to Luai's stop...

Question: Do the local PNG players (if any get selected?) get the Tax-Free dollars also?

Other clubs never have problems putting players in the shop window; Contracts or not for early release. Bula would be a great fullback for PNG.

Both slow after 30 min. We need the early speed for 80 min.

Our edge backrowers are too slow. More suited to middles. Sukkar and Roberts types are slow to slide wide after fatigue sets in and cover the inside backs We need to sacrifice some size for 80 min. goers with some speed.

Just bad coaching.

I can understand they wanted to see how Brooks went as fullback in Flegg before any contract offers; BUT to play Ron Massey with a team of strangers is----just to get run metres into his legs? Not form.

Agree we need him as our centre---but he played fullback this weekend and Bula not exactly setting the world on fire. Bula to wing . Which means we still need another centre. Saukuru what's happening?

Yeah, Nahh, lets give him another year to develop. How many years of development has he had now?

What exactly does "shutdown" mean? Injury I am assuming. Hope it's for a couple of months so Benji can trial some alternatives. Otherwise Benji sticks with the same old I suspect.

They have a big catchment area, just like us------------But?

If only Benji would try him at fullback over the off season. Bula to wing --- better than Tavana for bombs and D.

Hope he does some sprint training. Haven't seen any speed this season.

Getting close to the mark. Benji knows best.

Benji the only handbrake on any new assistants. My assumption is; when advice is given but not headed over time it becomes a lost cause. Same with coaching and selections. Players know when it's wrong so play without spirit. That's why it will be hard to attract any quality---without paying well...
