It will be interesting to see Tuilagi at manly and see if he actually improves there.

Logen Dillon signs with Mackay Cutters.
No he's not. He wasn't a 10 minute player by the end of his time with us.
Dez would have fixed him,wish Sheens could have unlocked him

That still doesn't mean he knows what he is talking about with Recruitment!

Don’t worry James…there was only so much we could take of you too. Good move by both parties.

Is there a big pay difference for a full back and Centre?
Farnsworth a quality centre wants to play full back? Money driven.
Would love to land Fairnsworth or Crichton at centre. Do we still have funds?

Both slowpokes-only if there was a considerable financial gain for us.

You point out we had two classy forwards and I’d argue Tapau is an error/penalty machine. Have you noticed the best sides have 6-8 rep quality forwards.

That's where Lee learnt to slap Nofo on the bare arse.

to clarify a physio mate at the Sharks just mentioned cotric in Canberra but nothing concrete, but he didn't know anything about Nofo leaving tigers.
The same bloke in June this year told me we had definitely signed Pele from sharks so who knows.

Sure, I would like Penrith's forward pack or the Souths Burgess family to visit us.
Ain't happening, totally get your point.
Forwards LOVE playing with other forwards. The sharks got Gallen and Gallen pulled in people like Luke Lewis . Once they added Chris Heighington and others they were a real force to be reckoned with.... Forwards want to play with good forwards, you want to play with Gallen or Jason T. No one wants to be the Josh Jackson and carry your team.
Yet we ain't going to get 6-8 Rep quality forwards, not now and not for a fair few years. 6-8 rep quality forwards don't join teams coming 16th.
Manly seem to make the finals off 2-3 Outstanding forwards and then lift 2-3 mediocre forwards to rep levels. Likewise Souths in the last two years, without the Burgess brothers seem to find 3 average players and raise them up. Easts too, pick up the cap dregs and turn them into good tacklers and tackle machines.
Our forward pack for 2022 and 2021 was actually looking strong on paper.
Okay so my bloody point. We won't be getting 6-8 rep quality forwards. Brooks will get the forward pack we have OR maybe one with 1-2 quality forwards. If Brooks can't make the team or function as a halfback with what we got, he has to go!
I hate to say it, we let the wrong player go.

Hate to tell you but Sheens recognises the problem and is working on it.

I would never ever , trade nofa for cotric , cotric is a lame duck , nofa has his problems but he is a great finisher and metre eater
