Brandon Tumeth #266

He has been on the extended bench for the last few weeks, based on others he would be next in line for a call up.

Someone did say at some point last 2 weeks that he has a contract offer, if he signed would get a run but if he doesn’t why would we play him over others who are staying.
 
Tumeth doesn't look like an NRL player.
He has no muscle definition.
 
If I was a coach/selector, the three things that I would consider before rewarding someone with a contract or upgrade is:
▪️Raw talent and ability to display that talent eg. Benji Marshal.
▪️Look like an athlete, muscle definition, the way they present themseves. Pass a rigorous fitness test eg Pole.
▪️Show energy, enthusiasm, a real jack in the box at training and in the game eg Robbie Farah.
If a bunch of park footy guys were walking down the street and only one was a NRL Representative player, I bet you the rep player would stand out like a beacon on a hill.
Elite players in the NRL stand out whether it's their physique or their demeanor.

Sironen/Dallas hybrid only available, BM is only once in our lifetime. Sorry to disappoint.
 
Tumeth is coming back from an extended lay off...

He's on a development contract and has been in the extended squad for a few weeks now.

He sounds very much a part of the plan.

Development being the key word.
His time will come.

They took him to the Brisbane game and he was side line, filming the boys run out.
 
Was whispers around a month or so ago that Parra had signed one of our up and coming back rowers…
mate of mine thought it was him.

He’s a while of NRL at the moment - but he should stick around, he’ll get a go when hes ready
