No no no. Modern journalism is so much more than just opinion and speculation, it’s, guessing, rehashing, plagiarism, clickbaiting, forum researching, late night stalking, sewer swimming, not mention their ability to keep breweries in business and put on some good old fashioned pugilistic entertainment.
Great to see Paul Kent get his runt sized arse kicked-in again.
With all his finger pointing, ranting & raving, and vitriol it turns out
‘The Man In The Mirror’ is the true villain.

I honestly hope we can keep Stefano but jeez I hope we aren’t paying anything over $600,000. He was ordinary last night and the only time he decided to step up is when the game is finished. I don’t understand why he can’t put the effort in the first 20? Maybe just start him off the bench if thats how he is gonna play.
When our prop rotation looked weak a few years ago ( it still does ), I posted that we should be looking at Mikolaj Oledzki from the Leeds Rhinos - he's an absolute beast, and I hope he's on Richo's radar.

What we are short of at the moments are class backs. Centre and maybe another winger. Who are the best players in the UK at the moment in those positions?

I hope ur right , but please name 5-8 backrowers that will be on the market , then rate them on a scale of 1-10 of them coming to us , I look forward to see ur list , 😜
I feel sorry for the readers who believe the crap they read.
Stef looks unhappy but then again I just think that's the way he looks.
I've convinced myself he will succumb to the temptation of a stronger club - expect Ivan to go for the two for two with his smooth talking, and his determination to sh"_ t on this club at any given opportunity. As soon as Turuva was gone straight into poach mode - the package deal hit us where it hurts. Can see his smug pathetic grin at the very thought of it.
And I do have a massive problem with Ivan Cleary so my judgement likely to be way off and has no credibility.

latu is a good player but where will he play here ?
he won't play lock he is a halves player
We have 3 left sided halves for 2025 in Luai, Galvin and Fainu.
I very much doubt we will ask Luai to change from the side he has been playing his whole career, so Galvin or Fainu will have to change themselves into right sided players if they want to play in the halves in 2025.
Worryingly Fainu looks to struggle with his left to right pass and I don’t think a left to roght pass is a real strength for Galvin either.
It’s similar story in the outside backs with most in our top 30 heavily favouring playing on the left.
Roster imbalance is just as much an issue as a poor roster.

Maybe he's a good player but who knows at this stage.
Until he does something in the NRL I'll reserve judgement.
He's missed a good chunk of last year and is a phantom player this year.
The NRL'S moving on and he's in a rehab room reading his junior scrapbook.
It's a different level and he's yet to even attempt to prove himself.

Galvin plays both sides easily.
The bigger worry is the lack of running lines and shapes as he moves across field.
Last night, several times, he was looking and looking and no one ran anything. It was really, really average.
Can only hope Benji starts to realise this whole 'attack will come later' mindset is destroying our chances to win football games.

We’re not managing the subs properly. Stef should be on for at least 55-60 minutes.

He needs to go forward and engage the line a lot more, which in turn provides space for his options.

Incorrect.
I'm talking about players feeding ahead or under.
That's a different concept to straightening the attack, which he also does well if the intended target is out the back.
We need a few wins to give the players and fans some confidence that we are on the up.

in hindsight if we knew we were getting luai we probably wouldn't have signed latu fainu

I think it's more of a case of Sullivan wouldn't be here if we knew we'd sign Luai.
Latu is brilliant. He just hasn't had his opportunity yet. It'll come.
And we wouldn’t have samual

I'd say if we knew we were getting Luai, Sullivan would be the one we didn't go after

I have to agree with this. The NRL is a hard sport and you need depth in every position. Latu will be a wonderful acquisition given time for his injuries to settle down. Even Sullivan is good depth, just not at the price or length of contract the Tigers agreed to.
We need to offload Sullivan which is disappointing for the kid as he is young and hasn't done anything wrong, and some inexpensive lower grade halves need to step up. We do have some, they are just too far away from what our needs are now.
