RTS is the fish we gotta target..... Munster and Moses ain't coming

RTS however is a real chance, the kiwi connection with Benji and wanting to potentially come back to the NRL would be real I believe - ala Benji when he went sure he knows better than anyone how to sell the NRL return back to him knowing he went through it too

500k to play wing at Roosters would be on the table, but 1mil to come back fullback here under Benji would be intriguing for him I believe

Get that done and go straight for Dylan Brown with Brooks at 7 - AD to centre with Laurie off wherever he wants

1. RTS
3. AD
6. Dylan Brown
7. Luke Brooks
9. Api
Of all the outrageous possibilities, this is probably most likely.

IF Benji really had that pull, Dylan Brown idolised him and Benji has always spoken about how he's a big fan of his. On top of that there's their Kiwis connection, and same for RTS.
 
Just read all the dally m tips being likely winner by position and a handful of challengers for each position and guess what WT don't get a mention
Last 2 position winners Luke Brooks - halfback a few years ago but that led to him getting his huge contract and the other winner Nofoaloma -winger
and that led to 5 year contract .
Conclusion better not to have any winners at the moment
We came last by a mile if we did have anyone it would be Joe but to get dally m points teams need to win or not get thrashed.
 
Imo if you watch tapes of Staines and Naden, Staines is more of a sprint style runner where Naden tends to be a strider.
Of the two I’m sure Staines would win a match race.
I remember back at school where there was this idea going around amongst the coaches to offer sprint athletes a chance to trial with the firsts.

The biggest problem is they had no real strength, skill, timing or agility. They also didn’t have the motivation to compete in contact.

It was all straight ahead for these guys. Even when they made a break, they were easily knocked off their centre of gravity.

Needless to say, most ended up in 2nds, 3rds or 4ths.
 
Four try debut. Second try, he went down the right touch line with blistering pace to set up Edwards. I wrote he scored but he didn't but certainly set it up. Players with this pace turn half chances into tries such as Coates or JAC and save tries.

Plodder

Do you remember Alan Jones bringing the athlete Darren Clark to the club to help improve players speed . That didn’t work either.
I was just making a point about running styles.
I really don’t know if Staines is a good buy or not but a bit of pace never goes astray on the flanks.eg The Fox.👍🏻
