Here's a link to a discussion on Allan Fitzgibbon. It makes interesting reading and seems like our club is really addressing the pace issue and attracting indigenous talent. Well done.

Are these highlights from club footy please the kids got some pace but the standard looks rubbish

believe it's Ron Massey Cup and some Canterbury Cup games thrown in there as well. he's an Australian Sevens player as well, which shows his pedigree. obviously there's questions surrounding his defence but it seems as if he's certainly worth a train and trial.

If Tahu is working with him we know he'll be in good hands.

He has played reserve grade for Penrith and scored tries for them too. The video shows he’s got pace and skill, clearly not against the best quality but those skills can be moulded into first grade talent

I remember that’s exactly what people said about JAC before he made his debut

Some highlights from Alan Fitzgibbon. Definitely has pace to burn

Damn he's quick. Impressive vertical leap too on a few of those tries.

He looks good. There are some pretty good moves as well as pace on display in that highlights package.

Valid point - he looks good in the local comp but stepping it up to Flegg/State Cup will be a different ball game with the defensive corridors players are taught to play in these days. I hope he makes a good fist of it though, speed on the edges is always handy but we need to ensure our defence improves too.

No.

My thoughts to, rhe club updates thrre social media platforms multiple times a day with some new content
 
Just thinking the club needs revenue from members,crowda apparel etc.Human interest stories on players(NO PERONAL DETAILS) eg; are you settling in,favorite players,other sports interests,fishing,golf ,etc.This builds a bond between the players and the fans,especially the kids.

Not only does he have speed....he has 'personality', with those swan dives over the try line, sliding over the try line and the fist pump on the way to scoring a try.

+1. Half of the players we know nothing about. E.g. there are bits here and there about Jock Madden, but I wanna know everything about him in terms of rugby league. Position played while growing up, favourite player growing up, current favourite player, extracurricular activities when not training or playing, etc.

When I was a kid I used to live off those playing cards and news articles about players (from any sport). Made them feel more relatable.

Who was our last 7s player? Jessie something. Starts with P. People really rated him on here... left half way through the year...good times. Aussie 7s is poor. Kenya is better. Don't judge a player from 7s

Jesse Parahi, lasted about as long as Mal Meninga’s political career.
