Junior will need to learn to catch but i think Sloane could fit right in with Benjiball.
Only problem is they are both on contracts next year for good money (and Tupou still has 3 years to run on his). You can’t renegotiate for less time or money. Only way you save is if their existing club offers to pay a % but in Tupou’s case you have to take on the 3 years.
Yeah there’s been a couple of sus ones. Would love for him to find us a gem and get him through his dad being our chief, make up for the others.
Not sure what Sloan really offers. He is a back up fullback/winger and we already have that in Luke Laulilii. Luke would be infront of him in the pecking order so why would Sloan come to WT to be a 3rd string fullback/winger? He's also on 500k at the dragons. He's not going to take that much of a paycut
No, it happens. I’ve been ribbed about my voice being a bit gravely. From drinking moonshine and rums, and a few other stupid things but I reckon Seib and Lockyear, who I called throat boy when he first hit tv, have been hit in the throat while playing football. It’s painful too, one of the points to attack when I’ve taught self defence, is throat.
I forget where it was raised but Gus didn’t want Galvin to be available until Nov
no way in hell Sloan is a better fullback then Bula
You'll have to ask someone that is a hell of a lot smarter than me.
Spot on, this is exactly the line up I would run with and depth. That is the ideal 1-5 NRL and NSW Cup/depth set up. I would also add that guys like Tino Tavana and Max Taotua will also come into contention if they keep developing at their current rate. I dont think we need to sign any more externals in the 1-5 positions.
Correct. The two most vulnerable times for muscle tears are when they are yet to be warmed up and when they are under fatigue. Good example is Bulla’s injury. The most likely times for this to occur were either in the pre game warm up or the 80th minute, in this case the latter. Chances are, that exact same move in the 50th minute would have caused no harm at all. That’s why Latu is having minutes managed. He’s a player that relies on explosive movement and when you do that under extreme fatigue you are more likely to injure the muscle / soft tissue.
I like it.
Agree Sloan is shit. Can't believe anyone woukd entertain him coming to us
Garner would be a good alternative and i'm sure more will come available. Mooney re-signed but there has been some chatter that he is unsettled by his lack of game time. Like Richo says, we just need to be patient and see what falls from the tree.
What was I thinking 🤷♂️
Sloan is on mega bucks at the Dragons $850K
