Some calls to be made for our off contract players

Tumeth - farewell
Matamua - farewell

Naden? Time to move on
Feledy? Eh, perhaps a cup contract?
Staines? Good back up, depth option.
Douihei? Not sure.

We need some better options tbf

I’d consider Staines and AD as depth … but with an expectation that they are going to mainly be NSW Cup players …all the others are gone I’d say…

Our first 13 and first 17 are still not good enough to be a genuine top 8 team, we lack class, speed and genuine attacking threat.
If we do not sign 2-3 quality players in addition to KPP we will be in this same position again next season.
Today again showed us how good Latu Fainu is, but he played as a 13, not as a 6 or 7, so do we groom him to be our regular number 13, or are we going to see how he goes as Luai’s halves partner for the rest of this season ?
Hopefully we have a plan of some sort as we need a 7 or 6 if we are looking at Latu Fainu as a 13.

i’ve been trying to convince everyone on this forum for ages what he is capable of haha , kid can play anywhere he’s just that lethal but i’d say 6 atm .

i tend to lean towards his Mum's words .The lady laughed in our faces how little Latu is always broken , amused that the contract was that length ,but over all it will keep them, the boys ,her happy and laughed loudly ,she is no dunce

Based on Benji’s post match comments, he still sees him as a half.

I noticed Mason falling off a few tackles, the stats say he missed 11.

I’d be swapping their positions next match. Latu will be better wider.

Latu looks to be a good defender.

I think the whole 11 missed tackles were probably in the first half as his defence seemed much better in the 2nd half, maybe a rev up at halftime.
I really like Heath as a player, but I just think he needs more time in NSW Cup to work on his game in the halves including his defence as he’s has played most of his games over the last couple of seasons at fullback.

Heath looked like that wasn't his game,to panic his spot

Masons defence was terrible..constantly rushed up and took nobody,but always made it to the tryscorer just after he crossed

I think we need Samuela Fainu to become our extra quality middle as he’s going awful on an edge this season.

I thought he was good today.

 

[Merlot]

I thought he was good today.

the boy needs space,hope Sam and KPP outshine .Samuela is to good to waste in the front line

 

[Speed2burn]

I thought he was good today.

He doesn’t work hard enough for me .. too much decoy running. Made 7 runs today

I miss last year when he’d hit the inside lines at pace and pop up an offload

He’s clearly playing with an injury and we’re playing him because we have no second rower depth.

I wouldn’t be moving him.

if the brothers worked for Wayne ,2 of them would be told to get a hair cut and the other to just do it or bugger off

Gotta give you peeps credit... since we signed Terrell we've only signed one other new player and in that time you have still managed 1,185 pages of content.

I skip a lot of it, but that's only because I also have a full-time job.

Latu just came back from a lengthy absence and they brought him back off the bench … I expect him to starting in the halves next time,,,,

They definitely need another new 3 NRL ready players join the team for next season if they are looking for a further leap forward…the squad is still not good enough

If Luke L kills it tomorrow, Skelton to centre & LL on the wing? I wonder if AD can do a better job in the middle than Bird?

Adel Hage is saying on the latest WestsLife pod that the plan might be that Luke L will end up in the centres
