You realise the problem... Sloan puts on 10 kg's There goes his Speed! Now I get it, we need speed in our backline. We also need grit. Sloan wouldn't be a bad signing and would be an upgrade on Herbert, Tupou (coming here), Starford, even Skelton... Still a downgrade on defense.

Yea, I was like "Sloan" no way... Then thinking about our backline: Turuva can cross if given space.. Makasini is still very much a rookie. Toa needs to go.

no real IF with Averillo from what I can see. Dunster/Tupou/Schuster... more iffy then service station Sushi.

Look, Laurie has strengths and weaknesses as Origin coach. Heck he has done better for NSW then Graham Murray and Craig Bellamy! That said, Yes Slater totally outclasses him as coach. Clearly the read Slater can do on a game and side beats Daily's old school approach. What this means is...

There is the will and there is the way. I don't know if Shulster has the will and realises his NRL ends here. No one will take him after Benji if he keeps failing. Even if he does realise this, there is the way. I very much want to do and learn a lot of things. Instead I waste my time saying...

Can we get rid of Starford early? That game just seemed amatuer night again. We cannot have a backline that gets outrun like that. The game was ours and we just have too much amatuer in our backs.

All agreed except the backup 5/8 bit. With Luai/AD/Madden around we really don't need more coverage here. We do need a true halfback and we have seen with an Average halfback in Madden what a difference it has made to the team. Schuster needs to get the message clear, you are going to the...

I know, but we don't need Cooper Clarke do we? Man being a Wests Tigers fan is just full of hurt.

No they are different. Herbert clearly had lost his NRL chance, we looked for a min value signing and gave him a chance... At min value he is worth it. Tupou has failed at Dolphins and Easts are punting him. We shouldn't touch the guy. Dunster was 2021. Train and trial, maybe. it's 2026 I...

The biggest problem with Tupou was he never put his body on the line to tackle. Having Skelton and Turuva we learn the value of a winger who can defend. I still don't see defense in Tupou.

It's overs, but is Averillo quality? Remember Josh Reynolds, he was overs for 700k. The biggest problem was not him delivering 350k of value, it was that he was useless once Marshall rejoined the side. Moses Mbye was a stupid, stupid signing. for 750k I don't think he ever earned his...

Look no love for any Moses here. But watching Australia vs Paraguay... There was more diving then at the olympics.

We have to be crystal clear about this. Schuster, you are going to the second row or lock. NO WHERE ELSE. No more wannabe 5/8's Our club needs a halfback or bust.

Agreed. Particularly when you see PNG and Perth with new chequebooks running around. Heck we have been the main signing target, loosing Luai, Mavrik and the Laulili bro's. I also wouldn't release Hunt. Yes his output is way too low. That said, when he is on he actually stands up. Till we sign...

Corey H 2 years ago, YES. Corey H now? Yes, but he could be an interesting one to coach. If Ricky can't handle him, I doubt Benji will do better.

Look I love Turuva's effort. But I have an issue with a rookie who is clearly at Rookie level being in our starting 13. That issue skyrockets when it's a center or winger. We can't keep anyone in the backline who's a turnstyle.

No the NRL is not worse then Soccer. NRL players don't get anything close to $40m or stupid pay. Sure I would LOVE a NRL player salary, but not in the soccer league. NRL players do plead for a penalty. Soccer players Look watch whatever sport you want.

I noticed that. He get good game stats but seems to have the spirit of Nofo in him.

Creamy? Surely you mean Bula. Or maybe you mean Galvin. OMG that's a bad though Gus wanting Milky and Creamy together. the Riff have T'oo, Jenkins, etc plus Dylan. Speed is not a problem and if we play them again I fear they may run riot again.

Ofcourse... You have stupid money in America and any rich Silicon valley idiot with more dollars then sense will start sponsoring a soccer team. They may even pay for a US player with talent to live and develop in Europe or Brazil and learn the game properly. and... I really don't care...
