Manage his development and expectations well, and it'll be fine. It's happening. TDS was already in the top 30 and played NRL at the same stage Haywood is now. Haywood has spent the season in SG Ball and Flegg, only been on reserve grade game day lists as 18th man, and will be on the supplementary roster in 2026.

The problem with TDS (along with Galvin) was he became an NRL player before he really should have, and so his expectation was to play every week. The roster management looks a lot better now than it was under Sheens and McDonnell, and the young fellas are going into the supp list rather than top 30 as 19 yr olds.

I think the club has noted how rushing young players into NRL before they're ready has either stunted their development (Mason, Luke Laulilii, etc), or led to greater expectations the club wouldn't deliver (TDS, Galvin). Hopefully the club is patient with Makasini and allows him to gain confidence in reserve grade for the rest of this season.

Watching the latest Terrell video it was interesting to see the relative maturity and harmony of the squad. Voices like Turuva, Luai and Terrell really complement Api. Now imagine that without those guys around last year and substitute it w the voices of Galvin, Da Silva, Jordan Miller, Ice and Bateman. Night and day and without doubt TDS was enabled by the club as well as misled by his agent. Hope he enjoys getting ragged by Moses.

Jordan Miller got a say in the sheds? No wonder we were making spoons.

haha he would have been around the CoE, so yes, he'd have had some say

Yep, I reckon so. I heard today his pop was a metal worker and his dad was a carpenter, and Jordo knew how to make both a table and a salad spoon. 🥄 🥄🥄

There was no salad spoon emoji? 😎
Apple should call Jordan’s manager.

Interesting around the 21:30 minute mark, Terrell mentions how he heard you could do "whatever" and boys could get away with cutting corners at the Tigers prior to joining the club.

Think a lot of us felt that - and it explains why/how so many signings we have made in the past ended up failing badly.

Yea... You said it and you are right.

No offense to Galvin this time. DCE had a massive head on his shoulders when he started, the Manly elite brought it down. Galvin, he really needed a Lockyer or Gallen to just bring him back down to earth and straighten his attitude. Farah would have done it.

Instead he gets Cameron Ciraldo telling him to be a total wanker and push the current halfback out... When he isn't a halfback...ROFL.

The dogs are going to be so excited about loosing more talent.
