I think Staggs is a more talented player. But as far as intangibles go - Farnworth is superior. That kid is a born competitor. And he fronts up in defence as much as attack.

Welsby would be a good fullback for us

Yes, that was one out of left field from Pom.
Luai missed his Daddy......Cleary.

I think all the Samoans missed their “daddies”.
Promised so much but failed to deliver.
Watch for the bounce from them next match.

Barry? No need for a plural.

Well he was worse than Brooks this season and it wasn't close.
When he plays to his best he is also our best player. The problem is this happens once or twice per year.

We don't appear to be interested which astounds me.

Unless Tim is gonna sneak away from his wife and talk to him on the down low.
He's a very weird player because at various points in a game he'll appear in the fullback, stand-off, loose forward and the centre position. And he's usually the best player in all of them. As has been mentioned - highly unorthodox. Scares defenders because he can go off script at any point. Modern coaches hate those guys because you can't set a pattern to shut them down. Just wait till he gets his man body because he's only just 21. Not physically mature. He'll be another Wighton - but with better hands.

Yeah, like sheep ? ( still confused by that one).
LOL - I think Luai tripped over his cigar.

If Kelly is so good why aren't the Knights chasing him?

Therein lies the question, why are we interested, although only offering him a T&T ?

Not really as Farnsworth came over here when he was a teenager thus already adapted by the time he played NRL. Already better than 95% of english backs that have played in the NRL.
Welsby is usually a FB but thought he played well at 5/8 today.... might have over played his hand on the intercept but overall a good game from him. Williams was awesome today but he has been average playing for Warrington since he came back from Raiders.
The Knights are arguably the most dysfunctional team in the NRL. Pointless changing the coach because the players run that club. Nathan Brown nailed what was going on up there. Albert Kelly is a very good player. The only reason he's not better regarded is because he let himself down earlier in his career. Always been a very dangerous footballer. But until he went back to the Broncos he was 20lbs overweight. Fought his way into the team the hard way. The club did the dirty on him letting him go.

Williams would still be a good option in the NRL. I thought another NRL club may have tried to sign him.

Biggest surprise was Radley getting MOTM, even he seemed surprised ( embarrassed).
I think some bridges are burnt between Albert & Newcastle man.
It was a joke btw 😉
