Which 7's in the SL are looking good mate?

Dodd's is playing well however I like the look of Harry Smith from Wigan - young lad who direct the team around well and backs up broken play to score tries (can kick goals also).
George Williams is killing it but took him a while to get going.
Blake Austin is finding form but SL suits him to a tee and his body looks wreaked.
Lachlan Lam is developing nicely too. Playing week in, week out footy is helping his confidence and growth. Thought he played really well in the World Cup for PNG and always though he played okay when at the roosters. I think he would be a cheap ideal pick up to replace Brooks.

Without breaking the bank, i would go for either Harry Smith or Lam.

Now that came out of nowhere. Surely not. I trust that this is just journos filling an empty void,

So Tim Schemes’s 5 year plan has lasted 4 weeks 🤣
He Brings in Wakeham on minimal wage to mentor our 1.1M superstar now there’s talk of Bringing in the worlds oldest player to mentor him as well

Just fold the dump

 

[The Fresh Oil]

It's amazing what regular game time in SL away from the pressure of NRL can do for playmakers. We really need to set up a swap deal with the UK. They send a young forward for 2 years to learn how the NRL train, compete and play, while we send young playmakers over to learn there own game and gain confidence.

Lam is a good player and may just come back a very good half.

A decade ago Pearce would have been a very good option but just like other people from the past he is past his use by date

More i think about it, the better that idea sounds with Lam playing off Api on the front foot. Would not cost the earth either.
I would not go near Brodie Croft though as he is a classic Brooks 2.0 and perfect for the Super League.

A halves paring of Connor Tracy and Lachlan Lam sounds ideal and pretty cost effective.
I would try and make a play for Connor Tracy this year - i am a massive fan of him and love the way he plays.

 

[tunks]

Lol you cant make this stuff up
The club keeps giving.

I wouldn't mind Tracy playing the Dylan Walker/Cam McInnes role off the bench. Provide that spark and leg speed through the middle

hate to burst your bubble demps but if Pearce does arrive it would be
7. Pearce
6 Brooks
1. AD

I can’t even stand the thought of that.
Insanity !!!!

I'm still getting my thoughts around 34 year old mitchell pearce...

 

[boonboon]

Find it funny people saying his age is the issue. Pearce is 33. Ben Hunt is 33 and DCE is 34. Hunt won the Dally M last year and DCE was qld and Australian halfback

& I'm sure you're included in all recruitment meetings to establish such insight.

This would still remain as the poorest spine in the NRL.

So Hastings is too slow. But we are interested in Pearce. We should of went after Pearce when the roosters got rid of him.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Coin is way too much for my liking. Could also turn out to be like the time we signed Anasta. Total flop.
When it rains, it pours

we tried to get him then he didn't want to play for old man's club apparently

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Im hoping its this year and next....at first i thought it was 1.5 per year...had to read it twice

Yeah hed be slow I guess but you dont need speed to organise, throw great passes, ball play and kick well all of which he does...

it’s not like we had a halfback that could do that last season but the mighty Sheenius thought he was a lock

 

[gallagher]

Just like bringing back Farah and Benji. Stupid short term thinking that won't make an ounce of difference.
We just refuse to get off the roundabout.

 

[philgood]

Just remember we had a perfectly fine organising half back in Hastings. Sheens let him go, and now we're in this mess!
