All depends whether his arm is fixable or not. If it’s completely stuffed I don’t know how he passes a medical. If he passes a medical how haven’t we fixed him given he’s had it for over a year now?

I think he’ll be a big improvement on Hope. Seems to improve every step up in grade. Hopefully he replaces Hope rather than Madden being replaced by Latu though.

That’s good, right? Why would I want to remember today?

That’s like saying you need to lose weight so you’re going to eat more junk food to see if it helps.

Surely people aren’t suggesting we sign Leilua. We have enough pretend first graders in our top 30.

Sometimes the market dictates how much you need to pay. Seems like overs but there aren’t many good right centres available and there is a lot of competition with Perth and PNG coming in.

Always liked Blore but I doubt we can afford him given we already have 2 good starting second rowers on decent coin.

No reason why Averillo can’t put himself in the frame for the 6 when Luai leaves, AD wasn’t expected to play in the halves ever again about a year ago. However, it’s stupid to say he’s Luai’s replacement because mostly been a centre in the NRL.

I don’t think Suli fits the culture Benji is trying to build.

I think people are confusing Katoa and Averillo. Would be happy to be wrong though.

Last night every time the ball went to Galvin on the last I breathed a sigh of relief. Almost all of his bombs dropped to our winger/fullback before their team could contest and unlike Burton he doesn't have the speed or power to dummy and run. I've stopped disliking him much quicker than Moses...

That's just idiotic guess work from the "journos". He's a centre that can cover wing and fullback.

Very keen on Averillo. Brings some much needed speed.

Our left centre is cursed this year. Need to find a centre somewhere. And I’m joining the re-sign Skelton bandwagon.

He’ll be fine. Tedesco copped worse when he came into grade.

3. Skelton 2. Twal 1. May/Bula

Makasini is a sure thing to be an elite centre with an injury free run. Great signing.

I wouldn't be re-signing Heath and I'd let him go this year if it creates space to bring in a back up 9 or a centre. I think he's a career fringe first grade utility but we already have enough small backs and he has so much work to do defensively.

He did okay, missed a lot of tackles but it was a badly beaten team. Hard to get a gauge of these depth second rowers while we're getting pumped. I still have Sukkar ahead of him at this stage.

Benji needs to figure out what Makasini’s role is (ie winger or centre). If it’s centre as I expect, we’ll need a left winger. I think Jenkins is off contract, he might be too expensive. Maybe Stonestreet. Skelton is clearly not rated and we don’t have anyone coming through who will be ready...
