They should get rid of 2 Sydney teams, I’d go sharks and Penrith (even though they’re highly successful they probably have the second smallest fanbase)

be careful
we are nomads

easy for nrl to turf tigers and give concord abd leichardt etc to dogs and parramatta
and
Divide Southwest to dogs penrith souths etc

cant wait to see him arrive in first grade.

will be a gun

Lol doubt they’d get rid of them, especially with the size of Penrith’s junior base.

I’d get rid of either the Roosters or Souths, no need to have 2 teams in that area. Of course that’s NEVER gonna happen though! The other one I’d cull would be the Titans, the Gold Coast teams, in all their forms, have failed miserably since their inception. In reality, one of either the Bulldogs or Tigers are surplus also.

agree with all you say but Titans stay, yes they have basically been a basket case from day dot

Some do, especially middles. Can take a while to get accustomed to the grind. He’s definitely an upgrade on Bunty/ Royce

Maybe 12 months at sharks then off to tax free money in PNG

Agreed he is very good for his age.

I have seen him play a bit this year and feel he is more likely a 7 than Latu as he talks a lot more in setting up plays as well as his kicking game and passing is very solid.
Latu has a great running game and deft passing game to put players through the gap which suits a 5/8 more.

The game against manly at Campbelltown for Wests magpies they combined well even allowing for Latu not being match fit due to limited football.

Future looks bright with these two if we can have the team stay healthy.

This video just went up on Youtube - love the title!

Javon highlights also make it crystal clear that Saukuru deserves a chance at NRL level.
Players with that amount of athleticism and that size do not come around every day!

Looks very sharp with the ball, but no shots of his defence ? Can he tackle ?
Certainly has potential but I notice Heath Mason featuring as well, and we know what happens when he hits first grade.

Yeah I might be unpopular for saying this because everyone seems to love the idea of the NRL expanding, but I wish PNG and Perth were not a thing. I’m ok with the way the comp is now. Though in all honesty, I’d rather less teams than more.

I think we all crave “ quality not quantity” but the mad scientist (PVL) is on a quest to rule the football world( not just RL but all football), so expect more.

Reminds me of Benji, 09-11.
Gees he combines well with Latu.

I’ll wait for some FG highlights.

Recall Daine Laurie’s reserve grade highlights having people excited too.

Interesting opinion for Andrews as a half and Latu as 5/8. On your observations, why not?
Some highlight shots of Andrews he was wearing a number 4 [centre] but built like Doueihi, our NRL half.
He looks great with the ball, breaks tackles, a step, speed, kicks and passing all on display---- but some on here are concerned with his defence-----but typical of a 19yr old; And hopefully improves with coaching.
Half, 5/8 or centre all good options, just hope they pick his best position to work on.
Fingers crossed he is coached well and trains hard in the Off season. Looking good.

Hey does anyone watch a lot of Melbourne games?

I rarely watch them, usually only if they are playing the Tigers. I ask because I noticed Jack Howarth is unsigned for next season.

How do you rate him? What coin do you think he is worth? What positions can he play besides centre? He's still pretty young at 23.

Burst onto the scene but few injuries have slowed him up. He’ll pick up a decent contract as a centre.

Apparently that’s why we let Luke L go early . It released an extra 100k , on top of the existing 100k so we front loaded luai by 200k , which made the hit to next season only 200k.
It’s been put out there by heaps of people , yet Blokenina bar , Braith and captain fickhead Riccio keep pushing the narrative . Why ? Because the source that told them this was happening was the eels .
I’m almost 💯 sure that’s where the info came from . Not from luai or the tigers . The moment they shopped him, the other clubs went running to ricchio and his parasite friends .

If Luke Laulilii was on 400k then everyone in our football department should be sacked immediately and never allowed within 50km of Concord

I’d say he’s worth pursuing but not sure why he’s unsigned ?
Whilst we hope May, Averillo, Makasini and possibly Douehi step up could be worth looking at ?
But maybe I’ve just answered my own question ?
