Thanks for that T_O.
What position did Turuva end up playing?

Skelton had an average performance, was playing busted for 30 minutes of the clash and still made nearly double the metres that any of our current backs make in a game.

All 3 will be good additions in 2025!

Skelton got injured in the first half, but played on injured, Turuva was really good, Luai was man of the match, Luai and Turuva linked up on the left quite a few times.
Even the FOX crew who love to kick us when we are down, said Benji was proven right, he said he wanted Luai to run the team, most didn't think he could, but has proven them all wrong. Hell even Ivan begrudgingly praised him at the press conference

Skelton impressed me with a few things. What was obvious is his defence needs work. But his runs out of his own end and offloads are massive. Also he has a lot of skill for a big guy
 
That is shame so looks like we are stuck with an overpriced dud in Sullivan unless he can pull his finger out and start playing like he should.
Pretty sure this was a Marshall signing so not great from that POV. $500k per season in reserve grade.
Not sure why letting Sezer go means anything about Sullivan. We don't have to keep either of them.
 
We do need an experienced head in the forwards to play the role Klemmer was supposed to.
We have no alpha in the pack.
I get that an experienced player may be valuable but that doesn't mean he has to be towards the end of his career. A younger player, better able to cope with the rigours and pace of the game is ideal. Experience can be obtained but aging cannot be reversed.

Not bad at all
we will improve next year no doubt , just need to add the muscle up front
and some experience
Hunt , Bird , Red Nut would do the job along side our existing
then Add experienced coach beside Benj for 2 years
 
I know it’s probably old news but just spoke with a well connected Tigers guy who says Richo told him that we have signed Horsborough and Bird plus some reserve grader from Parramatta.
If Richo has managed all of Hunt, Bird, Horsburgh plus the resigning of Fainu that would be impressive, but didnt Horsburgh only tour the facility like yesterday?

He would also need to find a way to move on 3 more players now that Sezar has departed though.

I'd guess Tumeth and Bateman are 2 of those. 2 prop signings probably not great signs for Faagutu either
