What are you fickle , disloyal types going to do when most of our team are tigers juniors and we go through periods of losing once we get competitive.
seyfarth is fine for 19-30 type position in a top 30 . In fact I’d say he’s perfectly suited to that role , and maybe 150-200k a year.
what’s the issue ? He’s a far better footy player than Aitasi James is right now . And way better value for money than 500k twal . (Nothing but love for twally) . The issue isn’t getting better footy players in those spots , it’s finding guys like seyfarth who can fill those roles , do a job , and not cost much , so we can improve our top end talent .
2-3 superstars and we are not just top 8 ,but higher.
Look at Newcastle . Without Ponga at 1 , they were the worst team in the comp . With Ponga at 1 they look like world beaters .Same for Canberra without Wighton ,Cronulla when hynes plays like garbage and on it goes . We don’t have that player as of 2023 . Hopefully fainu or Sullivan move into that role . They certainly have the pedigree to do it

100%

Burton wants to play centre for WTs. I think we may be able to fit him in.

Good call

There’s not one player from the Dogs I would want….that includes Bra (JAC)…

Stephen Crichton maybe

Hayze Perham. If I had to make a guess.

We could do a lot worse than adding Faitala Mariner as a forward rotation option for a year. A few good lock types coming through in Lualili'i & Fa'agutu but very little experienced options outside of our starters. Faitala Mariner plays every forward role but hooker, so covers a lot of sins when required.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

They couldn't do any worse.

Benji should look at mele hufanga

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Benji should take a good look at himself. The task is ahead of him.

I just don’t see what direction the club is going in , we resign joffa 4 months before we let him go , twal may not be a star but he is a steady player that every team needs . Ok we got the brothers , but I am not sold on Sullivan or sezer , the forwards don’t have any real mongrel in them , the backs couldn’t score in a brothel with a pocket full of hundreds , must teams are picking up decent players but we have more money than must yet we are getting nothing , if are direction is kids then we are in for more wooden spoons , but what happens in two years time when KLEMMER , api , Bateman , papa , stepho, leave and we are still on the bottom who’s going to join us then , I think we need to pick 2-3 kids work on them and bring in workers and mongrels and some genuine pace . I just don’t see anything changing anytime soon

It's quite clear. Last.

 

[Lestronge]

hypothetical . Would anyone swap Galvin for Burton ? Galvin for JAC ? If he does want out , what is the level of value we could get . As with large , Fainu and Sullivan he would be really unlikely to play 6 for us I think , even being the best in his age group .

I think you have pinned the reason why Bateman does so well on the edge rather then the middle.

We have juniors coming up who could help solve that problem. Last year our pack just got walked on. We don't get walked on, we get outscored.

Ahh, juniors. Personally I’d prefer we pick up some experience in that area.

You are the most negative boring person ive ever come across

 

[Needaname]

Umm....

On a lateral sweep, two things, and minor variations of those two things, contribute to the effectiveness of edge defence;

i) Can the sliding defence mitigate the speed of the half/fullback's speed to outside of his man?

Or

ii) Can an up and in defence kink the sweep through jamming, by shutting down the half (early jam) or centre /fb (late jam)?

A collapsing middle can lead to a number shortage out wide, but this is generally accumulative over a set, rather than a measure of effectiveness of an edge for a particular play.

True but it certainly helps when you have your middles positioned on the correct side of the ruck providing the right amount of cover to your edges enabling your your 3 and 2 men to have confidence that their inside is protected.

AJ for Preston works for me, I’d even chuck in Nofo BOGOF style.
