you would have to assume that he wasnt given any guarantees re the fullback position. If he spends 2023 on the wing/in reggies he will look elsewhere. If he earns the starting fullback role he will likely extend.Did we only sign Staines for one year ? If so, any idea as to why ?
Could be to help Penrith and their cap so he has an option to go back if tigers don't give him what he wants....,or tigers want depth at fullback without paying big dollars so if someone the RTS becomes avail we are able to chase him.Did we only sign Staines for one year ?

Exactly the way I'm thinking, nothing like a signing against all odds senerio to get the the juices flowingSheens got the name shifty for a reason. Reading that article you would think the club has had a informal chat with Moses and nothing much else.
I still think the Moses things is very long odds, but when Sheens plays things down, you never know
Agree with this. Personally wouldn't be surprised if WT had hopes for Tedesco in 2024or tigers want depth at fullback without paying big dollars so if someone the RTS becomes avail we are able to chase him.

Yes I recall that as well. Whether it was a direct quote from him to someone or just a 'feeling' who knows.It was stated on here that he had made it clear he thought he was too good for us.
Whats the squids game thing?
Rts better anywaysIt was stated on here that he had made it clear he thought he was too good for us.

Who has better leadership qualities, that's the one we need more atm.It's pretty close. I suppose it depends how they go in the backend of their careers.

I’m a Hastings fan, but just thinking the JH to newcastle may have been a Sheens manoeuvre to block Brooks option ??I sadly agree.
Api will be quality, at least for his first year.
I am really looking forward to Robbie Farah working with Api Koroisau and I reckon Robbie will have a few tricks up his sleeve and might add a slight playmaking dimension to Api. The difference being API will play a solid hooker and give good ball to the halves.
Which is why I totally agree with you, Hastings + API means we will have a spine working together. Brooks + Api means Brooks is going to get the best ball delivery of his career....
?? Brooks time to perform. ok that was five years ago but you better deliver now.
While on Newcastle, I kinda disagree. 6 months ago they may have traded Klemmer without a swap. Now I could see them holding out. IMHO Hastings was far too big a prize, we could have offloaded AD.
We'll see I guessThat is a bottom 4 backline + RTS....thankfully our pack is coming together
Good. I don’t see him in the starting side. It would be 20mins off the bench. I’d prefer Pole, Kautoga, Ma'anaima getting more NRL game time this year. Then there’s Saukuru, Tumeth, Fainu ect who would love to be given a chance if they prove themselves at SC level playing next to experience NRL players like Klemmer, Bateman, J’Offa, Papali’i & Api.Nathan Brown won't be joining the WT.

Stains at 22, has had little exposure, due to the fact Penrith are full of stars, but he has shown very good form in his preferred position of fullback in the lower grades. He is a natural fullback. AD was too slow, and Laurie tried hard without being convincing, but is still very young. I would not be spending big $$ on old fullbacks at this stage, but if they do not fire, we must get one elswhere, it is critical for the attack of all sides.Can't think who it was but someone said successful sides have 17 top players and the rest are on less money.
With Staines, he's not a world beater and atm neither is Laurie so it doesn't make sense tying up Staines on good money for a longer term.
If a better player comes along we get rid of both Laurie and Staines.
I still have high hopes for Daino though.
