You work out how many games Latrell plays per season and what his salary is and hes extremely bad value for the cash hes on.

Which is why Lee wanted him so badly.

Tof Sipley potentially off to ESL, could be a cheap pickup for us if he wants to stay in Australia

Defence is like Zane Musgrove, no thanks.

No, polyester, I think.

Noice. 👍🏻👍🏻

Agreed.

Funnily enough, Sharpe is only a little more than a year older than Galvin but looks lightyears above Galvin. Sharpe is outright dominating, even in a team who has struggled.

Yet, he gets no "generational talent" or "million dollar" price tags being throw around on him.

Because he isn’t .

Carney has actually turned his life around mate

Sincerely hope he has...can take u thru many of his " events"//cld fill a book or two...but I wont
His old man Dean was a renowned troublemaker regularly appearing before the ACT courts..bad role model

 

[cktiger]

Facebook and good source in same sentence

I saw the same post. Seemed very confident… but you never know.
Would love him to turn his career around here.

Haas for me, Martin is showing a few signs his kamikaze style is wearing him out.

Look credit to Martin, but as every commentator has said, Haas is the pinacle of front rower at the moment....

BTW Martin will never leave Penrith. I know his auntie, they are die hard Penrith fans... He will never leave.

Tino, AFB, Corrigan, etc... none are at Haas's level and I would break the bank to get him. 1.5m done.

I’ve been keen on us signing KPP due to his potential based on size, skill and athleticism, but the more I watch him the more lhe seems to be a player who just wants to coast through his career without ever pushing himself hard enough to play with the high energy and aggression required to get the best out of himself.
If not KPP I’m not sure who our next edge back rower target could be, all the good ones are locked up for the next few years and as there is a noticeable shortage in this position, I can’t see rival clubs releasing anyone featuring in their NRL team early.
I do agree we ideally need someone on one of our edges with the speed, aggression and attacking threat of players such as Briton Nikora and Dylan Lucas, the Raiders appear to have found one similar in Matty Nicholson recruited from the UK.
Maybe we need to hunt for a hidden gem or two from the UK, or we might have to find an up and comer or someone waiting for an opportunity, maybe a good sized centre who plays tough who can potentially convert to become an NRL standard edge back rower ?
A player I have long suspected could potentially become a good edge back rower and I recall him being selected in the Qld Cup Team of the Week last season when playing as back rower is Aaron Schoupp currently languishing in NSW Cup at Manly.
Initially as a depth signing for 2026, he would be a good upgrade on players such as Faatape and Feledy, but well worth a look at potentially getting back to regular NRL as an edge back rower.

Yeah...the more I see of KPPn the ,more Im underwhelmed/Looks like Tarzan..plays like Jane
Ricky has picked up some good ones at Raiders.who have genuine resolve and wanna make a difference

Agreed. He needs to do a lot for me to even be at whelmed level. If you can be whelmed. Mmmmmm

 

[clontarfkid]

Having watched him play so far this year I’m not sure why Madge was so keen to keep him. We may have dodged a bullet.

Im with you
Hetherington is nothing special that we dont already have..and at double the price

Any player who wears black boots these days shows no confidence in themselves. Pathetic. Prefer Twal.

 

[Spartan117]

a guy in one of the FB groups just said that Fifita was headed our way, cited "a good source".

David F has been a terrible investment for the Titans.

He isnt better than Terrell Davis May or twice as good as Pole etc

He isn't a Million dollar player

Nah...were playing better than ok.
Twal better than Hetherington..boot color irrelevant to stand out
Plus youve gotta pay premiums to attract Qld players to Syd real estate umless wifeys family there

Maybe a family of mixed faith. I'm a bible believing Christian with all my heart and soul. Both of my sisters married Muslim men and became Muslim, still love them to death and they still drive me up the wall.

I just worship WT----------------simples!

Was that a joke?

They need money for Fletcher Sharpe he's off contract next year

Does that mean Brown to halfback OR Sharpe to halfback? Cogger?
They have to many 5/8's.
Sharpe would be a great replacement for Galvin.
