Come 2021 I’d like to see this backline
1.Doueihi (safest fullback but does need to work on his speed)
2.Nofo (JAC would be an upgrade but Nofo bleeds for this club)
3.BJ (great centre even with the Fades)
4.Talau (enough said)
5.Isaako (fantastic goal kicker and reminds me of RTS)
6.Mbye (love watching him and brooks combine...great defender and has an elite level passing game)
7.Brooks (enough said)

Add scolari or Kei in there

if you were storm and doing a trade we only have teo players worth a yrade that they would be interested in
They need a 7 so Luke Brooks
They need a winger so Nofo
i dont think Melbourne would want anyone else Brooks takes a 7 role with Munster and Nofo takes JAC or Vunivalu wing spot.
We get Grant
We then need to play Madden or Mmbye at 7 and Reynolds or Walters at 6
However in doing this trade we would keep Harry Grant a future Qld and Kangaroo number 9 and we can put Momo in the centres.
Before everyone starts yes players have to want to move and all that and b. trading Nofo is like killing bambi to some on this forum but Melbourne are not going to go for
Mmbye, Rowdy, Joey Leiluia or Reynolds etc.

Maybe interested in Tommy Talau

Could we secure Aitkin..?

You need better bait

Stefano named to make his NRL debut this week how good

And if he goes any good the Slimes will be in his ear to back out of his contract with us, if they haven't done so already

things are obvious more difficult with the cap fine and the cap thieves

Sure are and probably the main reason why things are difficult was pointing to the scoreboard from the coach's box showing the result of his choices.

Hope the commentators mention he’s off to us 😬

I wonder if everyone realises that Johnston earns almost twice as much as JAC does currently. We might be able to get him for 400k if we're lucky. Still a lot for a winger.

Josh is younger and faster and the better option. We need stars, not just solid quiet achievers

I'm not sure why that means JAC would be cheaper than Johnston. They're both available at the same time and one is an international winger.

The only thing relevant is market value and as of today, JAC is at least 150-200k more expensive than Johnston.

So go on, put a number on what you think they're worth then.

It seems unlikley he'd change his mind, and even if he did we'd just tell Parra to get stuffed, a contract is a contract. Just like Parra wouldn't release him to us because of junior contract contract. We won't release him to anyone.

Given their injuries it makes some sense for them to rotate him with Alvaro on the bench. He'll likely play for less than 20 mins in any case.

Cos we’d never want to influence any of our players out of a contract like that. Even if they a future Australian hooker

Johnston 380k
JAC 550k

Like we told Parra to get stuffed with Moses and Matterson, we just bent over and copped it, why would this time be any different

Isaako is reportedly being forced out of broncos for next season. Would be a good signing

Absolutely, but mainly for his goal kicking.

Good athlete, average player.

He won’t go back apparently they mistreated his brother and it ended his career. Don’t know the details but read it somewhere.

Just a suggestion

We call up Melbourne and offer them Momo and BJ

Get JAC back and can play Tommy in his natural position at centre

1. Adam Doueihi
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Moses Mbye
4. Tommy Talau
5. Josh Addo-Carr

No thanks - Mbye or nothing.

Maybe we can offer them Momo and Liddle. And rowdy.

No Bite Chief...no Bite!!!!

No but that was a lick
Pretty close to a bite
You reacted

This time we don't let him go unless Parra buy us out.

He’s been excellent for 3 years and he’s now worse than Darius Boyd. Badly coached players with talent is what we need. Mary thought Luciano couldn’t play big minutes and he goes 80.

Bj has played 8 games for us and you want to get rid of him already
I don't think so
Moses to the bench as a utility (where he is best served)
Bj in the 3

He's also a Wests junior who the WT worked very hard to bring home.
