No love for Twal, Charlie or Seyfarth.

Very Iffy bench - TDS do we use a spot on an undersized spare hooker
- S Fainu can't comment - how many NRL games has he played.?
-Matamua - hope he's learnt the rules by now
- Asu K -really ??

Samuela Fainu has played 5 NRL games.

From that predicted team, I think Fainu and Kepaoa will be there in Round 2 and Matamua + Da Silva miss out.

The bench this year will get thinner and thinner as injuries bite. A real lack of first grade talent there unfortunately.

You reckon he looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane ?
I tell you what, I would not want be the one to tell him that in person.
No doubt he’s previously had good and bad patches in each game, not consistently good for his whole time on the field.
He’s still only young for a prop, I’m hopeful he’s ready to produce his best in a more consistent basis in 2024.

Im with you. Just a figure of speech.

Fox Sports predicted line ups are even worse than NRL.com. How in the hell do they pass themselves off as experts. Don’t know their elbow from their arse.

More immortals?

Media speculation. Play him where he’s most effective. Would you move Munster to 7?

Luai will be here in 2025 to play 7

My opinion is he’s a six. Plenty of good sixes have been the dominant playmaker, including our head coach/selector.

Priority number one this year is to figure out who his foil is next year. Regardless of jersey numbers.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Wherever he plays - hope is worth the coin.

Strongly recommend you watch some games he played at 7 in juniors. NRL Pathways has some games of NYC but not all

Olam has signed, you watch the next few targets we go after. He’s already earning his keep.

I’ll check it out. The comments he made about Benji seeing himself in Jerome were telling in my opinion. Why over burden an X factor talent with game management? I’ve seen Luai leading the Panthers and Samoa successfully but I think his best attributes are his unpredictability at second receiver.

Do you know what position Kepaoa is training in ? Surely can't be persisting with him in the centres ? Do you think they may be going 3 forwards and Kepaoa bench ?

Longest running experiment in NRL history that bloke. Work it out in Reggie’s FFS.

I get that they might be thinking he'd be a strong hole runner.. but his lack of understanding how to read defence is exactly what we don't need in 2RF or centre this year..

I just think players have either shown you what they are or you put them back into reserve grade to work it out.

Brooks at 7. Not even close.

He’s not an experiment. He’s a product of the type of players you have playing regularly for a club who have won consecutive wooden spoons.

Nah the club were trying (and failing) to upgrade him.

I’d like to ask him what he thinks he is. Because he looks confused by the game.

Again, he’s the type of player that will always be a regular at a club like ours the last couple of years.
