I reckon they'll be some movements as well. I have no idea if they'll be good movements but I assume there will be some changes prior to the season starting.

I've written him off this year. It'd be great for him to prove me wrong.

These threads are a bit weird. We've bought in a back up half. This guy isn't a Brooks replacement or something like that. He isn't getting paid big dollars. We'd be better off complaining about Sione Fainu, Brandon Mansfield or Brandon Tumeth since these guys don't appear likely to offer much...

I honestly don't get it. I'm far from a fan in that I really doubt he leads us to the finals however it's a one year contract on not too much dollars. I liked a lot of what I saw from Wakeham last year because he did some good things and didn't cost us much. Sure he wasn't the guy to lead us to...

You've nailed it. Things to fix:- 1. No halves with current proven NRL experience. 2. An expensive forward pack with too many players not delivering. 3. Outside backs that are at this point the worst in the comp. Positives:- 1. Api 2. Development players/juniors coming through. Bula...

That is how I feel as well. I'll support him for as long as he is here and hopefully he performs.

We are betting on a couple of quality kids coming good. Sullivan was let go though and a borderline first grader. Fainu doesn't have NRL level experience and Manly were happy to let him go and chased Brooks. Sezer has a one year contract and he is coming back from the ESL since he wasn't wanted...

Personally I really hope that the young guys prove themselves the best options in the halves as early as possible in the season. If Sezer is the best option for us in the halves then I really hope the young guys just need more time rather than not being up to it. That would be a massive issue...

I agree but this seems to happen to a lot of centres. I think he is probably the least of our concerns and the outside back most likely to do anything. Tupou can attack as well but I think he is more inconsistent than To'a.

I can't remember and I guarantee I'm not going back to watch it again.

I like him. He can fend, he can step, he has some pace.

I'm not trying to change the question. I think a lot of people believe the team's performance is impacted via the CEO/Chairman/Board etc when personally I don't think it is.

My take is the way I've always felt and that is the board/CEO/Chairman have basically no bearing on how the players perform. Maybe some players use it as an excuse and Benji wants to ensure it's not an excuse.

To'a is our best outside back. Api is our best player. We need more quality players.

Just make sure we don't expect to get him and if we do it'll be another Blair signing anyway.

I reckon it comes down to dollars as well. Ciraldo, JAC and Moses all got the same amount with probably what they consider a better situation to be in. I think Mitchell also used us to up his price. I'm not convinced Luai has the same options available to him.

No way. We've overpaid him already. He gets a chance to show if he is an NRL player next season and he'll get paid well for the chance.

They completely smashed our pack last season. On paper we are better but our guys really didn't perform last season. I know someone will bring up the stat that we made decent metres but that argument is pretty weak when you consider Manly rolled us.

If they are all fit I reckon they are one of the teams that can win the comp. Will they all be fit ? They also have Aloiai and he is a bad influence and could implode their team. It'll be interesting.

I get your point but I really hope we have a winning period at some point soon.
