At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their opinion.
If you rate Jahream extremely highly that’s your prerogative, plenty agree with you and quite a few others including myself acknowledge and agree he is a talented player, bur have question marks about his star status.
I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say he’s not a talented player, the question being raised relates to his contract status, will he give us value at 900k come 2027 ?
I’m one of quite a few who do not believe we have a playing roster as it stands for 2026/2027 that is a realistic chance of being a premiership contender.
Some may disagree and be of the belief that our current playing roster, plus a few extra squaddies will be good enough and if that’s your opinion I sincerely hope you are right as I’m 90% certain that is how the club is heading.
Don’t forget it’s very likely we will have to factor in upgrades for players such as Terrell May, Latu Fainu, Sione Fainu and potentially Samuela Fainu, Taylan May and Heamasi Makasini at some stage between now and 2027.
My belief is we need to recruit a genuine elite player to be realistic premiership contenders by 2027.
Obviously it’s a bit late and it’s highly unlikely any elite players will become available for 2026, so our only option for this type of recruitment would have to be for 2027.
Which elite players are currently available for 2027, could potentially add enough value to make us premiership contenders and why would they sign with us.
The elite players that spring to mind are Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Herbie Farnsworth, but there could be other possibilities.
As unlikely as it may be that either of those two would sign with a club like ours, we do have the attraction of a talented young and emerging playing roster and money talks, so much the same as it was with Jerome Luai, we would have to offer them as much, if not more than any other club to be a chance.
