To think we once had them all on our books.

Our squad is much better now. Probably can get rid of Will Craig and Sukkar.

Wouldn't be in too much of a rush to get rid of Tony Sukkar, I think he could develop into a reasonable player over the next season or two.

Sukkar is still young, I'd persist for another season to see if he's useful depth but your right about the other.

Sukkar has been the best player in nsw cup last 3 weeks too. Has looked nrl level

Yes B, noticed this in the KOE thread, even in his 1st grade appearances he hasn't been a standout, but held his own.

Benji and Richo have done an amazing job with this roster and clearing out the deadwood/mediocrity.

There is seriously not one player except for minimum-wage players like Craig, Saukuru, Hope, Bunty, Mason that isn't pulling their weight.
Sukkar is ready for grade.
Even Seyfarts is looking good now he is used properly.

Bring in a high quality centre and lock maybe....

Bunty not pulling his weight? Did you watch the 2nd trial?

Sukkar gets a little bit better each season. He is going great on the right edge in Cup so far this season, solid solid solid.

Harsh, but true.
Jake has been a great player, but I think due to always putting his body on the line and playing above his weight, that combined with all his head knocks have caught up with him and his body no longer allows him to function well enough to play like he once did.
Sad to see for someone who appears to be a real genuine good bloke.
As of now Charlie Murray is a far superior 13 and he can’t even get on our top 19.

Jake hasn't been a viable 13 since 2020. I think he still walks into this Manly side given their lack of forwards but he should be a 30 minute front rower off the bench, not a big minute lock.

Sukkar goes good . Wouldn’t want to lose him. He’s young and been going welll this season. He’s ready for firsts but the way our pack is
going he’s not getting a run soon

As others have alluded to, Sukkar has been very good in all 3 of our NSW Cup games this season and looks a much improved player.
I wouldn’t be writing Will Craig off either, he’s been breaking plenty of tackles and looks strong and fast. His defence and catching high balls are a concern, but he could improve in these areas.

I was speaking with a young person today about him the kid i spoke with went to school with Tony said he is a very nice person who loves the Tigers and dominated junior football
