Off to super league

Off to super league

Confirmed?
Thought that was just a maybe
I think he still has plenty to offer in the NRL

 

[Vicious]

And I dare suggest the Storm and Panthers have a much better level of assistant coaches that can actually develop a young players skills before they are called upon for NRL…

Rubbish

club will talk to seb kris this week, i heard it was for a train and trial deal

a good source told me also that a david riolo client was shopped to the club to gauge intrest
if i look at the roster at titan sports, burton is the only one that makes sense, think we will have a sniff if it makes it to nov 1

skelton has an offer from parra

sign burton at centre play averillo on a wing

Rubbish

Is Sean O'Sullvan off contract?

Yes - Mamaged by Isaac Moses.
I believe he’s a slight upgrade on Jock Madden and would be very handy for us, but not sure if any wounds have been mended between Isaac Moses and Benji.

Madden and SOS are about the same. Just average backups

Yep & the broncos are paying for Jock

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

May I ask How you rest your case? Are we labelled "So called supporters" if we are critical of a chronically underperforming team/organisation? Are we not allowed to be critical?

I used to feel protective of the WTs when reporters gave it to us. But over the last couple of years, Ive come to terms with that fact that most of it is deserved

Col probably "works for Albo."

It's the only way you could possibly think that 15 years of non-performance is acceptable to be paid for and go uncriticised.

Lachie Galvin, Talyn Da Silva, Luke Laulilli, Tino Tavana, Solo Saukuru, Tony Sukkar, Ethan Roberts.

Fairly accurate, but O’Sullivan is known as an extremely constant talker and a very good leader.
If we are going to recruit I would prefer the younger and more flamboyant Ronald Volkman, but I would not be disappointed if O’Sullivan come in as a replacement for Jock Madden who I’m quite happy to have on our squad, I just think O’Sulluvan is a slight upgrade.

Galvin was all natural athletic ability… they promoted him to first grade at 18 ..they didn’t get a chance to develop him…

All the others no… Tavana , Saukuru and Luke aren’t even established first graders yet ..

Roberts has been here 5 mins …Sukkar has had a lot of games to look like a useful back up now…maybe

Are they still paying for him in 2027?
If so we would obviously be keeping him for Salary Cap reasons alone.

 

[madgey76]

Have we spoken to Skelton at all , he has been solid , and great back up for reserve grade / Nrl team .
Kris would be back up for us , but I heard or read titans are having a crack at him ,
Burton ?im just not sure where he goes in our team for the dollars he probably wants - lock - Centre - or 6 , but who gets punted ,
Thanks Kade7 for the update always enjoy your input , but any news on us and Skelton ?

What about Da Silva and Luke Laulilli?
Both exceptionally good young talents who should both still be with us, but that’s another story.
Regardless our coaching did not hinder their development except for the times when Benji kept them sitting on the bench for no valid reason.

 

[achilles]

He recently said he sees himself as a half, however is enjoying playing centre at the moment. Purely saying this because he has been given the script by Gus and Ciraldo. Crichton is horrible at 6 and the only reason he is there is so that Galvin can keep the 7 on his back and play as a 5/8. Burton is an out and out 5/8 and it did not work having them both play the same position. I really don't understand why Ciraldo and Gus didn't just bite the bullet and put sullivan at 7 and Galvin at 6. someone must have a 7 in his contract.

Ah ok thanks for thr context

Would you drop api for da silva felt like that is what was being asked

I was Da Silva’s biggest fan here and they decided to keep 33 yr old Api and move on from him ! 95 per cent of the board here said it was a good call …

Luke is not a first grader..yet …so I’ll reserve judgment

look at Solo …he has been here for years and looks totally lost in defence …what have they been teaching him ? Not much

 

[tonza]

Hopefully Doueihi gets punted.
