Speaking of ordinary wingers. Blake Wilson to the Bears.

Was interested to see if he’d come on with an opportunity - just didn’t happen.
Some times (most times) blokes are in reserve grade just because they’re reserve graders.

Going to see more of these guys playing first grade given PVL wants 22 teams.

What a dickhead.

Schiller is not the answer. 25 year old who only managed 1 NRL game last year and was jumped by younger players like Hunt and De Courcey in the pecking order.

The man can play, he can break tackles hunt can only catch

I don’t really do stats, but do your eyes really tell you different Bud?

Without thinking about it to much,
there’s 16 wingers in the top 8 he mostly wouldn’t best.

I don’t have much of an issue with him, he’s probably as good as we can get - but he’s barely mid tier when looking at what all the other wingers do.

Seems I’m not on my own,
most coaches in the comp prefer tall fast wingers - he’s neither.

Kev Naiqama like you reckon?

Good coaching and a bit of luck and opportunity can still see Schiller become a high quality NRL player.
There is only a limited number of players who are tall, strong, fast, capable of breaking tackles at will and capable of scoring long range tries due to sheer speed.

Terrible human what’s he done
If it’s just what you’ve seen on the pitch you really are a tough judge

He's a well known POS growing up in the Hunter. Multiple eye gouges on the field is just a reflection of the man off the field

Turuva isn't a top 20 winger, but he's not on top 20 money. Not sure why he's getting hammered

450k for him is fair imo

 

[jadtiger]

People loved him for 5 mins when he was about to sign with us just before Souths swooped in,

Some did and some didn't,he would probably be one of my most disliked footballers of all time.I certainly did not want him here.

I'd bet that it's in the Top 20 of Salaries for Wingers.
Addo Carr is on that I believe.

Reasonably fair comparison probably...

If he hadn’t debuted on the end of that Panthers backline, there wouldn’t be the amount of fanfare that there is. It definitely catapulted him.

crazy, that this is actually true.
He ranks at #24 for season 2026

You know that's the fans poll when I did it I picked all the Tigers as the best players in the comp there is no meaning to the poll it's not stats it's feelings

You had a choice of two players and you swipe left or right in the poll then the player you picked comes against another player and you pick left right again

Thats just normal...the fickleness of sports fans

 

[Lestronge]

Well if I did say a bunch of B.S
Post it and remind me what you are talking about.
You need to get over yourself, your not as knowledgeable as you believe you are,
In fact complete opposite

Nah not true . I’m no expert , but I know bullshit when I see it . More to the point . I know hyperbole , and forum knee jerk , fickle , recency bias when I read it .

Adam Elliott retires due to chronic ankle injury at age 32. The article I read claimed it was an early retirement but at 32? There were some keen to sign him.

I wasn't impressed with Hayward when he came on to replace Api in the Fiji game. Defended well but very stocky and NO ZIP from Dummy half. I expected more from what has been posted on here.
IMO didn't look like the next best hooker to be anointed for WT. Fingers crossed I got it wrong BUT?
What I did like is the fitness level of Manase Fainu in the photo with Latu. I see ZIP there.
And appears to have some fire in the belly to get it done with his brothers. Fingers crossed there.

Weve had several of these types recently at 9,but the nèw breed like Api,Harry,Brailey are quick and deceptive
Dont know what Manese offers,but grabbing him makes toral sense
