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

Makasini will only be 18. Seems a bit ridiculous at this stage.

So TDS has a contract for 2026 so it's smart by the club to see what falls out of the tree & potential clubs for next year.

Knights - KPP right now & who for next year?

Cowboys - Duffy as halves depth... Maybe?

Manly - I'd like Bullemor but don't want another Moses client.

Eels - I'd want Hopgood, they have Walker & the likes of Moretti & Samarani coming through.

Interesting. Hopefully we get a better result than Galvin. Tartak has too much invested in the club I don't he plays the same games.

How quickly has this place turned on Jeral?
This must be a forum record.

Francis Manuleleua and Jermaine McEwan are two likely second row prospects from the Knights. They have been playing NRL due to injuries.

It’s nuts. He didn’t cost us the game and it’s noticeable the positive impact he has on the team when he plays.

In saying that his speed is questionable as a winger but we haven’t really seen him take flight.

Dudes a gun coming back from injury i see him as a winger of ours for years to come. While he a turva have issues (as every player does) they are beasts at yardage and turva is an elite finisher. Ony change i see is injury or Mr too coming (dreams)

I'd say his confidence is not 100% due to coming back from his hamstring injury.

Does anyone know who those 4 teams are? Could be some kind of trade before June 30 potentially

The Dogs will be in this up to their eye balls... Just like Glavin

They will say no but IMO he will end up taking over from Mahoney

 

[TonyTiger]

He’s an absolute weapon now. Every run , he reps at the advantage line and pushes through contact to get extra metres.
I don’t want to hype him up , nd he’ll start that narrative , but man, he is on his way to elite .

I’ll hype Sione up! I mentioned last year that he will be the best of the Fainu brothers and I was laughed off the Forum … 😂 eat my dust,
Sione is a wrecking ball and just what we need to complement Terrell May in the Front row!
Time for an upgraded extension.

we did look at Duffy but not sure it’s worth losing depth in the 9 role just to have a back up half now if you get what i mean .
unless it’s a strong swap I don’t see the point and rather have tallyn until the end of his contract .

 

[Tito Santana]

He is still class and has abit to offer, I wouldn’t hesitate to giving him an offer.

For me it makes sense. Canberra isn’t that far once on the Hume.

Older head and has the relationship with the Samoan boys.

Bulldogs have him in the bag

 

[oldschooltiger]

Dropped the ball to concede a try. Gave away a penalty in WT territory when the team was in possession.

He's a been a great addition, but he made crucial errors v Canberra which didn't help the team's cause. I'd drop him for the week and bring in Tu'itupou or Staines who have been playing very well in reserve grade. There needs to be some accountability here.

He's not the only one. I'd be dropping Doueihi, Twal and Seyfarth too. But there's little accountability at this club.

Doueihi is only in the side for goal kicking.

it’s actually one of our best development stories to come from this club in recent times . Hasler really hurt Sione’s development early , came to us and struggled for 18 months in cup was overweight but you could see there was an NRL player in there somewhere . Has come along brilliantly now. manly lacked patience with all the fainu’s and it’s coming back to bite now .

Agree.
Plus he is still performing at a NRL starter level.
He will give 30-40mins of quality.

With May, Pole, Fainu and Twal he could be used as an impact style prop and old head off the bench but also let May play less minutes to be more effective.

For sure. And I would be massively leveraging 30 June if they want him that bad. I’d be asking for Sexton plus someone else or a very large sum of money.

No bullying to navigate this time.

Eat shit Gus

And I don’t think you’d need to break the bank.

You forgot to mention Sione Fainu who for me has been outstanding. Twal to the bench.

I'd be wanting a player better than Sexton. If he is not good enough for the Dogs ............... Sexton reminds me of Chad Townshend.

why help Gus ? There’s a reason they’re offloading sexton . Luai and Latu run rings around him .
