Curtis Sironen - No - Don't get all the love for Sironen. But no doubt will be resigned.
Sitaleki Akauola - No - Not at this stage.,,wait and see.

I think you need to watch a little closer. These two guys are serious footballers that every club would love on their books.

Each to their own opinion but this one has lost touch with reality.

Yeah Sorry Your right I should do more..I only attend every NRL game some NSW cup games and have played against Sirro since age 16.

In my opinion Sirro has achieved because of his name. Sitaleki only played one NRL game last year and then was dumped. We can't keep all the players and if I am rating players as to who we **should** keep then these two are down the bottom.

Woop woop, you played against Sirro.

Doesnt mean you know squat about player retention.

Sitaleki killed it today, as i said look a little closer, perhaps with two eyes.
 
I think Curtis is in a similar position to that of Blake Austin at Penrith last year. Can't cement a first grade spot, can't get a straight answer on whether he's a back rower or a half. I wouldn't blame him if he looked elsewhere.

Except that isn't actually true. He has had a permanent first grade spot all last year and this year he would have played except for injury. Also the club confirmed last year that he was moving permanently into the backrow.

When he returns from injury he will slot straight back into the side and will if not straight away then when back at full fitness take the right side backrower role currently filled by Bodene Thompson

Cool, I wasn't aware that the club had actually made a firm call on that, all I was hearing was "Curtis will probably move into the forwards at some point".

BMM wont be here… announcement due soon where he is going

Thanks for the update. Suspected this would be the case given he cannot get a look in at the moment.

I don't think he will walk back into the side given the form of our backrow at the moment. Realistically Sirro will have to bide his time in NSW Cup and work up some match fitness over a few weeks and then look to grab a spot on the bench if he's in good form. His days in the halves are over though, he's bulked up even more since being injured and will tip the scales at 110kg when he returns.

He's reminding me of SBW years ago when he first burst onto the scene but had multiple injuries due to his body still growing etc.
 
Yea, siro will need at least 1 or 2 games in NSW Cup i think. It was a footy injury, so his match fitness wont be great. plus we're not in dire need of him right now

So the word going around the traps this morning is that BMM will be off to Penrith before the June 30 deadline.

Gotta re-sign Moltz, state cup will need a halfback next year.

Trust you people from Wagga to get it right. You had me fooled at the start, before I got to the second part of your post. Thanks, Kev.
 
the elephant in the room is Tedesco.
If he (or more probably his manager) is digging his toes in for more than 450-500 then we should move on. Because if we lose players like Gavet, Ava, Sitaleki and Thompson because Tedesco's manager wants far more than an apparently injury prone 19yo should get (regardless of how talented he may become) then the club has made a bad decision.

If he wants to be greedy then let him go to a club like the dogs or roosters where a greedy attitude fits in perfectly.
