I would say we are developing the height and speed on the wings which is more important IMO - Lobb, Solomon, Willett.

If there is no threat in the Centres - It won't matter what the Wingers are made of...

You referring to aerial threat?
No,
Getting the ball in general...
Referring to your comment on the midget centres we're bringing through....
You can put the build of a Joey Manu up against the likes of Feledy any time you like...
The names won't matter - the mis-match in physical attributes will come up trumps most of the time.
For the same reason as the 'aerial threats' you're referencing....

I’m not saying there shouldn’t be height in the centres but in referencing your midget statement, I would say the likes of Olam have done pretty well in the past.
I didn't say they can't be compensated for....
Olams career thus far - Has been mostly inside the best Winger in the game...
Makes it a bit easier you'd agree?
He certainly won't have that Luxury here...
Especially if he's anywhere near Nofoaluma.
Wasn't Will Smith on a similar deal last year?

It was that great though you’d have to think there’s more to come, especially if he’s getting better service from his halves
I’d persist and if it doesn’t reappear perhaps he makes his way out to the wing

Evidence? He hasn’t got the ball down yet?
Feeeeeeel it.....
And look- unlike our outside backs, here's evidence he can score tries!
I’m still worried he’s gunna drop the ball over the line.

What it doesn't say is what Nick Meaney is on. As while Paps is a game changer, hes fragile when compaired to Turbo.
Add that Melbourne have at least 3 Million locked up in:
Grant
Jerome Hugues
Munster.
I am surprised that the club has that much faith in Paps.
I don’t think they have a choice but to stick with him. It’s a bit like our situation with Noffa. No one is going to come close to what he is on after all the injury set backs he’s had so they have to persist.
Just confirming did he release Cooper Cronk & Dale Finucane from a contract or was their contracts up and they left for a bigger pay cheque ?

The $600k is Olam asking price to join us it’s an increase to what he is on. Basically the Storm would be covering close to the increased amount over the years.

I don't think he or Naden would be more than injury backup at most other teams.
Watched the highlights of the Q cup centre we are reported to have signed, Solomona Faataape, don’t usually get too excited watching those vids, as they are often against low level opposition. However, this guy looks to have plenty- attitude, speed, strength and skills. The only thing I noticed was there was no real footage of him in D which could be a weakness for him in the top grade. Hopefully we have a coach who can properly school him in D and he kicks on.

Few guys have gone from Q cup champions to first grade.
Tyson Gamble, Toby Rudolf, Nicholas Hynes even.

So where did the juniors come from for the Brisbane Broncos?
