I reckon we still need a better full back

We need a better 1, 7 and 6. We aren't going to replace them all prior to the season starting but these guys haven't performed well enough.

I think 9 was our worst position last year but the other 3 were bad as well.

Hopefully someone in those 3 positions really improves next season or we bring in a junior but I don't think we have any gun juniors in those positions who will be coming into grade over the next 3-5 years.

Not hard to see how much better off we are this offseason - Last year we'd signed no-one bar Hastings from memory....

It's a massive improvement but will it translate to on field success.

Zorba Called Tuilagi to Manly
Well before there were even whispers of it.
He called it from nowhere

That’s fair

ken move to center stains move to wing

Ken is one a few in our team who makes PCM. Even with a bung knee he runs harder than some.
I’m not entirely sure why some on this forum want him gone.

Teddy ain't ever coming back. It's good to dream guys but that's one you should let go.

Only those who love the club will come back.

I reckon with a better pack (like our 23 one) Daine will look much better and not feel like he has to do everything himself

Some forget but he hurt himself taking a hit up and our so called forwards were walking instead of putting their hand up

Forwards look strengthened sure but also remember the excitement around "Packerlino" Still have an untested spine and as good as Api is the squad he has inherited is not close to the one he left.

Has most skills to be a top line fullback. Lacks effort to get involved imo. In defence and attack

The ‘official’ game discussion thread should come out the moment the original team list is posted on Tuesday afternoon.

But it's a live thread mate. Nothing has changed, except instead of waiting just before kickoff to put the live game thread up we're putting it up an hour early. Traditionally the official team announcement carries a lot of banter right up to the live thread. You can also generate your own threads if you want. The only significant change is we've got some nice colourful banners to spruce it up a bit 🤣

Don’t forget Laurie played really well in one of the only games where our forwards actually did some work, in that cowboys game
Hopefully we can see more of that with a better forward pack now

With Parra struggling to retain players and our interest in Moses, has it been entertained a Brooks / Moses swap.

I think the fact that brooks is here is 1 if the reasons Mitch Is considering comming they are both good mates apparently

Yeh that's right but I'm just thinking $.

Sheens trickery with newcastle was to make brooks cheaper. I’d assume that he will extend him before signing Moses. That way parra can’t really offer too much as their priority would be to keep what they have

Thats the issue. Effort he needs to follow the forwards all day.

I think it's his body more than anything.

There's no doubting, when healthy, how valuable his yardage runs are. Also a handy finisher.

Just need him to be 100% fit.
