Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Makasini and Taupau-Moors fit the height, size, fitness and speed description, Ethan Roberts fits the description and as you say the Taotua brothers and Lachlan Broederlow also fit the description.
The Taotua brothers and Broederlow are frustrating as they always show glimpses of using their size and athleticism to their advantage, but seem to fade in and out of games and fade in and out of using their aggression to advantage.
Big year for all 3 of them as they are good enough to push for NRL in the 2nd half of the 2026 season, but if they don’t put in 💯 they will be out the back door.
Makasini and Tapau-Moors and Roberts will make it. The others, I have my doubts.
 
Not sure of Herbert’s injury record but he looks pretty fit and strong judging by his training photos. His trial game wasn’t bad at all - some aggressive D and intent in A. Obviously Star will struggle at some stage and Benji now has an option with Herb if needed. It’s not an unreasonable move to sign him if he’s shown the right attitude.


The biggest problem for him is that he had a few brain explosions and I think it really effected him not just a few injuries

The Titans semi comes to mind it was not a brain fart it was Sh!tt!Ng the bed

I suppose only time will tell if he’s had time to reflect while he’s been out of the NRL. Hopefully he understands what is required if he wants to take full advantage of this last chance. Maybe it will be a mental challenge for him more than a physical one.
Fingers crossed that he contributes to the club in KOE or in NRL if called on.
