No way. I know people don't like the names, but we have doueihi, naden and toa who are all experienced and depth alongside olam and turuva... and maybe makanski mid year.
It’s why I’d have Bird there. Would make much more sense to play him there with either Seyfarth or Pole at lock.
Doueihi would be fine if he had a crack in defense. But honestly he would have to be up there with one of the worst defenders I’ve seen
He's not actually. Neither are fast, both can be lazy. They're both extremely similar players.
U know I don’t gave a crap what they have don’t if the NRL give them a green light way can’t we sign them rather than letting the top 4-6 teams getting stronger
If what Kade said , that Hetherington is back in the radar , I think that will be a fair outcome .
But we don't need a lock, we need a second rower.
?? Bird moves to edge … We’ve got some good ones around the age of 17/18. If you can get someone (maybe Bird or anyone really) to fill the void for the next 2-3 seasons , kids like Godinet will be close to ready then . My guess is that’s what the real plan is .
That will be the sticking point. I agree with you. Personally I think we will see improvement and Benji won't have anything to worry about, I too would have loved to see Richo hire some real experienced assistant coaches to help him. If I'm wrong and the team doesn't perform then next off-season will be full of drama and speculation. I know guys have signed to play for him, though my hope is if the team doesn't perform, that those players will realise Benji won't lead them to the promised land. Only time will tell.
It's a decent idea.
Good summary.We need better for 2026
Great work,thank you from an old bloke like me who can't memorise our full contract list with expiry dates these days
That was quite a while ago now kept out of trouble since.
Any other backrowers we should be keeping an eye out for ??
