I agree with bring Tupou back. As the winger/centre depth in KOE- he's got great physical skills & plenty of ability. If Staines, Tupou, Doueihi/May are the types of players you can bring in for depth, instead of Feledy, Faataape etc...we are much better off. At a low end Top 30 deal, I like...

I believe we should be at full fitness? 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a 4. Doueihi 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. Latu Fainu 13. Twal 12. Sukkar 11. Sam Fainu 10. May 9. Koroisau 8. Pole 14. Sione Fainu 15. Seyfarth 16. Bird 17. Da Silva If Luai can't back up, bring Heath Mason straight in.

You mean like Latu Fainu & Sam Fainu?

He's a half, not a prop. He'll play.

Slightly disagree about the watershed game. Tigers are off 4 straight losses & only have a slightly worse for & against than both St George & Cowboys. Not the absolute proof of how a team is going, but over a season F&A is a good indicator. After 4 straight losses- it SHOULD be worse. But we...

Manly & the Broncos to miss the 8. ;) St George are falling away. Cowboys are not far away. Souths too. Parra without Moses is literally taking away their hope. Titans possibly win a couple- they are not as bad as the results. Roosters, Dolphins, Tigers & Knights will be fighting to push...

Probably makes retaining Doueihi more important as a back-up half option that offers versatility. Starting to look like Sullivan is the KOE #7 at this stage.

Just mastering my 'conspiracy theorist' abilities

No inside knowledge, but... We have Tyrone saying he wants to return to play with his brothers. We have Willie Peters- Richo links We have a halfback returning to the club next season that could be looking to move on. Player swap? Tyrone May for Bud Sullivan?

She can kick, but what are her hands doing around her waist? An opponent that wasn't hell bent on using their face to stop a miageri might show her up.

Gettable signings that could improve the squad- Corey Jensen & Raymond Faitala-Mariner. Before you throw the Liam Knight hate campaign my way- not suggesting they fix all our woes. But, they offer solid 1st grade ability, extend our depth & don't blow the budget- allowing us to chase another...

I think a lot of people are overstating the speed of a bunch of wingers. Doueihi vs Skelton. Who wins in a straight line run? Doueihi vs Skelton. Who wins defusing kicks?

The value of the family links etc can be debated, but it's still, clearly, a thing. I don't mind it, if it's in the clubs favour. And to be fair, of the brothers available, the Fainu's, May's & Lualili'i's are all, at least, talented enough to be considered in the 1st grade conversation. As...

I like Doueihi, probably more than most on here, but even I can see he doesn't have a forwards mentality. I think it's more likely he play on the wing than at #13.

@Tom Shines & @GNR4LIFE - I actually get not 'wanting' Tyrone May. It's not like signing Ivan Cleary over. What I will say is that he has been one of the top players in the ESL, he's on record as saying he wants to return to the NRL (big hint when added to the constant brothers-in-arms May...

That I do disagree with. People seem to forget he played a fairly sizeable role at the Panthers prior to his issues. He's then gone to the UK & played big roles over there. It's not as if he's a part time player. Obviously there is the name correlation. But as an available utility player...

I don't disagree. If that is the case, you play Bud in KOE & act as if he is a viable option to fill in. Which he is. I'd add Tyrone May as well as he is similar to Doueihi & Mason- offers position flexibility. KOE could be Luke Lualili'i at FB, Mason @ 5/8, Bud @ #7, Tyrone May @ #13 &...

I don't disagree with you. But for context, players like Tyrone May are not suggested as top line difference makers. More the guys that round out a squad, offering depth in areas it is required. Realistically there's probably only room for 1-2 'top line' guys to be added. After that it is...

This makes me happy.

Get a good backrower/lock option (still think Fifita is worth a long look) & add a front rower with 1st grade experience/capability (Corey Jensen/Jaiyden Hunt). Then get your reserve half position sorted (Toby Sexton ideally but...Lachlan Ilias) Then add your extra outside back depth (Junior...
