Naden is a backwards step.
Not worth it.
We've got better options within the club and should look externally also.

He's 34, hed be good for a year or two.
I think Tu'itupou is showing more than Staines; at least at cup level. Charlie tries, much like many of our others, but just doesn't have any real impact. I can't see him going up a gear. We need to be ruthless & that starts with a brutally honest look at how we've been going and the players that have been part of that.
Agree with you, though, those on that list can go. Can't wait forever to see if some of these guys just tick over the line to be considered 1st grade standard.
Absolutely. Hoped we were past handing out top 30 spots to anyone.

skelton dropped some bombs against penrith and canberra he us a liability under the high ball
next year would drop skeltin for makasini on the wing
I think he will be given an offer.
I don’t think it will be anything that he’s really happy with, hence Moses to test the waters and complete negotiations.
He essentially drops in the depth chart to 3rd in the centres, and 4 in the halves.
Depending on the bench make up, some weeks he may not even get the utility gig.
It’s a tricky one as many of us want him around in someway. But if we want improvement also, we have to be happy with these decisions to improve our roster.
I would dead set buy him as a genuine Reggie’s captain.
If injuries hit in first, he would be great to have.
A man of his experience with any young squad members being blooded or learning the trade, with be phenomenal.
Selling it to him with so much still left in the tank (especially with ESL around). Would be the hard part.
1-13: Bula, Turuva, Toa, Tiny, Skelton, Luai, Latu, Pole, Api, Terrell, Samuela, KPP, Twal.
14-19: Mason, Sione, Seyfarth, Hunt. Bird, Sukkar
Backs depth: Luke Luailli, Makasini
Forwards depth: Saukuru, Kit Luailli
That's who has a contract for next year so far except for Tiny but you assume an upgrade if Doueihi has signed with Moses.
Sullivan & Da Silva still officially on the books.
We need a good lock. That would be the main priority I see in the 1-13.
Backs, Forwards & Utilities we are okay.
I think we have 4 or 5 development spots still available for next year. I would suggest Hope, Murray get 2 of the vacancies. That's hooker & middle cover. Maybe we sign a fringe #9 as well if Da Silva does go.
From NSW Cup - Tui'itupou, Mapapalangi & Rahme could get a development/top 30 deal. Staines would be the only other.
Unfortunately not a lot of the market unless someone pushes for a release...
I think whoever we sign externally next will be a #13. Kobe Hetherington could be the next signing given everything happening at the Broncos.

Api is already past it. The amount of times he overplays his hand and makes the attack very clunky is ridiculous. He is in a much better team now than last year, so there's no excuses. I don't think he's a good leader

They want TDS.
Galvin in for Sexton, Da Silva in for Mahoney.
Gould has raved on about both Galvin & Da Silva for the last 2 or so years. Galvin is already there and we know both Mahoney & Sexton are about to be shown out the back door.
I wouldn’t at this stage, haven’t seen Makasini play but if he can’t make metres out of yardage, no way you drop Skelton for him.

How about they throw us a forward? We need more depth there.

need an elite front rower to go with May while Feinu and Pole continue to develop.
correct.The more the young 1/s demand a starting spot the softer it all gets .Racking the brain for a hard forward , Penrith have a few ,
