Observations
* Steph looks to have added size big year coming.
* 2 on the far right are units
* Mason and a few others have added size
* Seyfarth looks to have trimmed, looks smaller than some backs might get more lock time maybe?
* AD has added some size
* new back recruits have size and some confidence hope it translates.

All in all this is probably the biggest change have seen to our size for the squad in long time.

 

[Tucker]

Toa needs time for us to get value from him. In space and forward momentum he had some very big upside. Would say wing could be his spot but under the high ball he was very very ordinary.

He’s played 39 games for us for 7 wins at a rate of 18%.
Certainly no world beater.

OMG, that is right up there mate. So are you suggesting that if our right centre was a world beater we would have a much better win ratio? Please.

Whos the clown in the middle with his back to the camera?

I don’t recognise half of them tbh.

How many games did we lose by 6 points or so?
Yes a strong centre would have made a difference.

They look nothing like the fooball players from the 1980's and 90's they have hard bodies and The other guys well they had padding so less injuries

I agree, it's Toa fault

Putting the feelers out for the 2024 scapegoat.

Players today are like springs.

What a bitchy take. Lol…
You tried to come at me, I replied with commonsense so this is your reaction.
Grow up.

 

[innsaneink]

Theres a big gap between Toas best and worst, same for many of them...that needs narrowing

 

[Bigscreentv]

Agree 100%.
I’d be saying take it again with Samuela sitting out of the photo.
Can’t read his tattoo in the resolution anyway.

Frankly the whole photo concerns me. What is the deal with the whole team posing in a photo.
If they just did a tough wrestling session or something why not do a locking arms photo not everyone flexing.
So postering. Hope this doesn’t get posted on WT social media.

Maybe they’re a last minute addition to the NRL Vegas trip as a new-and-improved version of Manpower? The only question now is who is Jamie Durie?

 

[KingRobbie]

Where Large? Thought he was training with the firsts?

He wouldn’t be doing every session with NRL, especially with the Harold Matts season getting closer to starting.

Would have to be doing some training with them + he has union commitments.

Whos the clown in the middle with his back to the camera?

Someone with a new tat by the look of it.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Trust the most pale guy to be the Pom.

Good pick up scoop ! 🤣🤣

 

[Roar_Power]

Whos the clown in the middle with his back to the camera?

Isnt Samuela actually talking to Bula whose behind him?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Isnt Samuela actually talking to Bula who’s behind him?

Photographer- “Yo, Sammy, turn around. We’re taking a photo”

Samuela- “Oh right, cool“ *Turns around*

Not saying it’s a big deal, but it’s obviously deliberate.
