Both are big, tall, strong and fast, everything you generally want in an edge back rower.
The issue is neither of them use their size and speed to advantage.
If we have the coaching staff to change their mindset and get them playing with good energy and aggression we will have very good players on our hands, but the fact that their current clubs were not able to get it out of them is a concern.
It obviously means we are not looking at established versatile edge back rowers such as Siosifa Talakai or Simi Sasagi, so we are relying on these lower cost project players to play to their maximum potential and challenge for a position in our NRL 17.
Roberts absolutely destroyed our Flegg team about 5-6 weeks ago, so he’s got plenty of talent, but he doesn’t always seem to get out of 1st gear.

Assume we extend Doueihi & TayMay... That's 29 but release Sullivan back to 28...

Awaiting 2 to fall from the tree! Hoping one is a big middle!

Andrews is top 30 next year, not dev, is he not? Nothing from his announcement or anywhere else says dev contract.

Youre also counting Roberts but not Mav Geyer... so you should probably scratch those hopes of two falling out of a tree 😂

However, absolutely nowhere has reported Kit being signed for 2026. He is also listed on nrl.com as being off contract at the end of this year.

Andrews I believe is dev next year. No clarity in the press release, it's an assumption.

I am unsure what you mean, there is 27 confirmed.

@BlackWhiteGold, I think stated Kit was here for next year.

Happy to be corrected.

Has Roberts played any KOE or NRL?

He hasn’t played NRL as yet, but played quite a few games of KOE mostly earlier this season.
He’s a big and fast youngster who has been a standout in the junior reps and ran riot over our Flegg team a few weeks back, but was a bit disappointing when playing KOE this season.
He’s only 20 years old, so you would asssume there is plenty of improvement still to come and being so big, fast and athletic there is plenty to work with.

We are not sure if these guys are top 30 so numbers hard to tell.

However, we will lose a few more before next season outside the main one's people believe are going. A player off contract in 26 might sign elsewhere and we will release early if needed.

Good news we are adding more depth and not wasting big money.
