Based on my analysis below we need coverage at FB, Hooker and Lock.

There is a huge difference in the best players in those positions and the next man up.

The halves you can shuffle with. Madden is a competent first grader.

FB: Bula/Mason

OB: Turuva/Skelton/May/Toa/Makasini/L Laulili/Saukuru

5/8: Luai/Andrews

HB: Douhei/L. Fainu/Madden

Prop: May/Pole/Twal/Hunt/Brown/Afoa/K Laulili

HK: Koroisau/Hope/Haywood

BR: Sam Fainu/Sione Fainu/KPP/Roberts/Geyer/Seyfarth/Sukkar/Godinet/Taupau-Moors

Lock: Bird

Only ever watched it twice and it was as boring as could possibly be (both times),i found it as exciting as watching 2 flies crawl along a wall.

If the reports have been true, we clearly are chasing another fullback to fit into our system. We were supposedly after that Bryenton who went to Dogs aswell. Good identification by the club. Having an Attard/Brookes in Flegg and Cup would be good to have genuine fullbacks in the role.

I have watched it many times and have been to several games in the US… I can appreciate the strategies more than most Aussies I would imagine …even if I don’t consider myself an “expert”..

The biggest issue to me is that they play 160 odd games in the regular season which diminishes the value of any one game result…leading to only the playoff games having genuine meaning in terms to watching / attending a game

Secondly … it’s hard to hit that fast moving breaking ball with that broom handle … which leads to long periods of very little happening ,,,,like today…

Let's paint a totally unrealistic worst case scenario. Luai struggling for form, 10 straight losses, Marshall fired, Richo died of a heart attack, Latu perennially injured, Pole still struggling, Hunt reaches 130kg, Terrell injured long term, Taylan jailed long term, club struggling financially with media reports questioning if we can afford to pay players.

Could be worse, we could have Tyrone Munro on the books. 🤣

I don't think for a second he would be expecting to get a pay rise from us, regardless of what happens between now and round 10 (I think the deadline is, just from memory. Could be way off).

There could be plenty of other stuff happen between now and then that I could see resulting in him abandoning ship. Why would you not wait as insurance against that?

Let's paint a totally unrealistic worst case scenario.

All Luai had to do was wait a few months and he could have avoided being tied to that for another year. In what situation is signing early the better option for him?

It is so unreasonable to expect him to do so that if he did, sure, most of me would think heck yeah thats the commitment we want from a leader but a part of me would go is this bloke stupid? And he is supposed to be a leader here?
