Feledy and Alamoti as our centre projects could be dangerous and also puts some pressure on To’a to keep pulling his weight and develop into the player we know he can turn into.I think the club already has a young centre coming through in Feledy. We have enough kids and projects, the challenge is filling the first grade side with older pros.
How many NRL sides have 3 proven halves on their books? Tigers will have 1 next year in Sezer plus a couple promising young juniors. Compared this year to Brooks (A 6 playing 7), Wakeham (Someone who had no team a week before the season started), Doueihi (A centre who has played 1 and 6 the last couple years coming off and ACL).Fainu and Sullivan haven't proven anything in the NRL (yet), they may do in our jersey I understand that, but we could very well be looking at a mess.
I reckon Sezer/Sullivan should start the season assuming we get them.I would rather Sullivan at 7 in KOE cup to fine tune his organising game. I feel playing 14 will be a detriment to his progression as a 7. A season purely playing halfback is what he needs.
The amount of people that haven't even watched him play a game that are slotting him in for a full season at 6 next year is way too high. IDK if our supporters are getting desperate or dumb.I reckon Sezer/Sullivan should start the season assuming we get them.
Fainu’s time will come and if we start him from round 1 there is a very good chance he’ll start to burn out mid way through the year.
youre right.We have plenty of experts on here that seem to know exactly what is required to be a good GM a good CEO, a good Board Member and a good Chairman of the Board.
In regards to recruitment & retention the on field results are the big driver and our main concern.
If the team was having good on field success and playing an attractive style of play, nobody would even be thinking about who is our GM, CEO, Board Members or Chairnan.
Fit in remarkably well then?Everyone all year has been saying he is slow.......
Doesn't set up his winger either.
Happy to have a team of wankers and will the comp. In fact will guarantee that any teams that wins, they are all wankers! LolI didn't want him because he is a wanker!
My opinion hasn't changed!!
I didn't say they don't have proven first grade halves. I asked how many clubs had 3-4 PROVEN ones like you seemed to think? Please name me 5 proven halves that are playing as a backup half atm.Literally all the top eight sides have proven first grade halves, some have two rep players and others have guys who have just been around a little longer than the Ezra Mams and the Metcalf's.
Just a reminder they are the teams we are trying to catch up to. I didn't say we are going backwards but are we catching up?
Have a real good look at their halves and tell us honestly how good we are going.

I don't know how anyone can say with a straight face that
1) We haven't done good considering what's on the market
2) We are going backwards with our halves
Two centres I wouldn’t mind us looking at Billy Smith from roosters and Braidon Burns from the dogs, both wouldn’t break the bank and are specialist centres.I think the club already has a young centre coming through in Feledy. We have enough kids and projects, the challenge is filling the first grade side with older pros.
How longs he been in state cup. It's now or never.
Is Tartak from the same family that own the skip business that we had as a sponsor?? They were recently finned a record amount of money for some shonky business practicesTartak needs to move his office then… cut down on his clients travel time
Even then I would say less than half of the teams in the comp have a proven halves pairing for 2023. Some teams like the dogs don't even have a proven half on their books at all. You ask if we are catching up and honestly the answer is yes.I never said anything about your back-ups. In a perfect world you only need them during origin period. Ideally you have two guys who are proven first graders and a capable back up or two. By capable they can still follow a game plan and eek out a win.

In the next 3 years the game will lose
Reynolds
Hunt
Johnson
Cherry Evans
Foran
Townsend
Cody Walker
Keary
Sezer
Pearce
Clubs have hampered a lot of halves development in the last 5 - 10 years, when they retire their will be about 10 proven halves in the comp total. Unless some start coming through now. so we have a hell of a chance to get on the front foot and have the next most dominant half of the decade.
Or you can buy a nice house because you're good at it.The problem is those are the teams that make the eight.
In truth I can't see a better viable option than gambling on kids alongside an older veteran like Sezer but as they say when you gamble, "you win some, you lose more".
