If reports are true that our chairman said that Mansour is not coming and a Roberts deal is not close, then things are turning for the better at our club.

We don’t need an elderly winger (even if Penrith pay some freight). He can stay at the mountains and they can pay his full fare.

I was thinking about a Roberts/Leilua centre pairing and all the on field fights they would have, lol.

People saying Roberts would be great if cheap but I can’t see him settling here or anywhere atm.

Jock madden lowkey looks bulky as, doesn’t look like a stick figure anymore

Doesn’t take the young guys long to bulk up, normally one or two seasons training with first grade and they get really fit

Jamil Hopoate is another one we could look at.

Utter trash. Has got hands like a digital watch, and never uses arms in the tackle.

What about his fingers?

They are not really required until the tackle is complete.

I heard his interview. He didn't say anything about a Roberts deal not being close. He was effusive in his praise for Roberts and dropped that there would be an exciting announcement about an outside back/s shortly..

This may just be Nofo re-signing or possibly the Penrith lad.
 
He also didn't say Mansour isn't coming. What he actually said is that negotiations have reached an impasse. I'm interpreting that as Mansour over pricing himself. That's all part of negotiating a deal. I wouldn't write it off yet.

He said we had plenty of outside backs and that they are hopeful of enhancing them, and we should be able to expect good news soon. With the outside backs coming out of contract in 21, it would be among talau, zac cini, will kei and nofa I believe

In order for us to become a top four squad what are people’s thoughts for who we need to pick up over the next season or 2?

Finucane
Burton
Addo Carr
 
Roberts and the Penrith kiddie and they'll be top 4 this season. The pack looks strong.

The pack has no defensive line speed.

I don't disagree. But that's why we have coaches and pre season training. The raw talent is there.
