He can't crack the AB's 1st XV, new AB coach too...

So the Tigers is his second choice… great 😊…

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I don't think he's being negative here, it's a very real possibility if he reaches his potential. We won't be able to keep all of our talent.

According to some on here we can ... lol

That is good if Benji is talking to him as there have been a few stories last year that he'd be keen to play NRL one day with articles suggesting Souths as that's who he supports as a fan. Blockbusting fast winger for the All Blacks, not sure how he is going this season as don't watch Super Rugby.

Yeah 4 sure, all innuendo at the moment. Like u said,
Souths had a look at him - fitness is an issue too
in the 13 man game. Who knows, I got no clue.

I meant over all he looks light , yes it was his 1st game but he didn’t show me anything that’s all I am saying

I agree he looks light, but which outside back at 19 doesn't. I just find it hard to believe that someone who ran directly over Turbo to score showed you nothing.

 

[Tom Shines]

There have actually been rumblings for a few weeks that NAS wants out and club officials will be more than happy to see the back of him. Honestly a higher chance than them landing Tulagi.

Do you know why he wants out ?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

A friend of a friend told me Caleb Clarke is talking
to Benji, what about I haven't the foggiest. Like all
things - take this with a grain of salt. Anyone that
knows me I'm not the one to gossip. Probably won't
happen but I'm putting it out there in the universe

Madge had spoken to Caleb Clarke when he was here too, sounds like he has some interest in nrl

Lomax would be great for us and I have no doubt we will be trying to get him, BUT Shane Flanagan is no idiot he won’t release him unless he gets someone very valuable in return. They will want Stefano from us in return and as good as Lomax would be for us, he’s not worth swapping Stefano for.

Correct we strengthen the backs but weaken the forwards and the merry go round starts all over again

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

reckon dragons will go to hasler and look at swapping Hunt for Fafita in 2025,

Not true bro... just a viable option haha

I think he got turbo going the wrong way 🤔

 

[Kaito]

Everytime I see your username I think of that clip lmao

 

[Don Kershane]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the roosters have a go at Lomax considering Manu & Sualli are both leaving

Yes. JWH and a Ford Ranger should do it.

I can't find the original article I read on this because his name was left out of it (Believe it was a saint, sinner, shoosh). However, here is a couple of recent ones. I believe when I read the original article it sounded very similar to the Olam situation.

Welcome to the NRL, Blaize Talagi

Nope, I think he deadass completely bulldozed Turbo.

 

[Vicious]

Which is why I think he will be the one to phase Olam out in 2 years if he stays, pretty much falls in line perfectly with Olams contract ending.

Not forgetting Onitoni Large who could also make his way into the NRL initially as a centre. He’s not as big or powerful as Makasini, but has demonstrated he’s very quick and beautifully balanced ball runner.

 

[Roar_Power]

They want NAS from Storm or Tulagi from eels.

Storm freeing up funds for Stefano?

Definitely not forgetting, the problem is as someone stated we can't keep them all. We also can't just stick em all in our team and debut em at the same time either.. Makasini the better centre prospect for me, i'm sure large will settle into centre in due time though.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Dude he played super rugby for the chiefs and got player of the year.

No he didnt, he got Rookie of the Year.

The next year he was playing NPC

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

At this point I think most teams will be making a play at Stefano.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yes. JWH and a Ford Ranger should do it.

or a bad round of golf at Moore Park
