Grant is not first pick replacement for Smith and I think they are playing cunning with the Tigers hoping we will take his contract.Simkins is the hottest no 9 though still young.Why sign another when this kid will be in FG in 6 mths? Surely money is needed for speedy outside backs.

Calm heads need to prevail here as above if the club has pinpointed the young Queenslander to succeed.. Walters will be the man this season . This could also back fire as the kid might want to return to Qld in a year or so ,..it is not that straight forward, especially when Grant could be available the old could have 2 but could end up with nothing .


Now that Smith is out for 4-6 weeks Bellamy would need to give Grant some game time. Surely Grant will become increasingly unhappy warming the bench or playing in Qld.
Particularly after Bellamy has stated he is nrl ready but just can’t find a spot for him.

Nothing much we can do about this, all of Walters, Simpkin and Harry Grant are from Queensland, so all would be some risk of wanting to go back.
 
No chance Bellamy will let Grant come this season ,as Smith is out for 4-5 weeks that leaves little options for our hooker in first grade any way we will all watch the trial against the Warrriors on Sunday if anybody knows any news on Grant please post it.
 
I'm happy to go with Walters at 9. I'd prefer him over MBye or Reynolds. It means BJ and MBye are out centres, and Momo (who I like as a centre) fights it out for a wing spot with Jennings and Nofa.

Grant, good luck to you mate, will stay with Storm, for now anyway.
 
I dare say there will be a few that might look at jumping from the Rugby sinking ship. We should be throwing out some feelers in that direction.

Prefer BJ and Momo in the centres myself, Walters or Mbye at 9 or Mbye at 14 or he could captain the cc team.

Momo is not a winger, Jennings is not a footballer so Nofo and Thommo on the wings for mine.

Liddle isn't a toad.
 
People say Momirovski isn’t a winger but he scored 4 out of 8 tries on the wing and made Well over 100 running metres almost every game he played there along with a bunch of line breaks.

Naturally he’s more a centre but he also does go pretty well on the wing. He’s also taller than our other wingers which is a massive benefit with the new rule change.

Most likely he plays centre as Thompson and Nofa should do a good job for us, but if either one struggles Momirovski can play wing very well too and may do it if it strengthens our team overall.

Momo is not a winger, Jennings is not a footballer so Nofo and Thommo on the wings for mine.

Hard to disagree with that logic

You say that I but I think deep down you’re a closet Robert Jennings fan.

Not a good look to have Reynolds and Mbye in CC but I definitely don't think Momo deserves to take a backwards step and Walters is staking a claim for that 9 spot with his defence.

Liddle isn't a toad.

Liddle may not be a toad but he is one of the most injury prone players I've seen in a while. So much so, I don't even know if he's a good footballer. Ive seen more from Walters to prove to me that he is the best hooker we have atm.
 
No worries about Liddle's capabilities, if you see the incident when his knee was wrecked, you would understand how the injury was so bad, no fault of his own, player collision, when Liddle and Simpkin get to work together, will be a great combination.
 
Regardless of luck or any other factors. It was his shoulder before that. Call it bad luck or whatever, but Liddle is unproven talent in my book.

Regardless of injuries:

Incorrect. Walters is unproven talent.

I have seen Liddle play 38 NRL games - Walters has played, what 40 minutes and a trial. Walters is a proven talent though and Liddle is unproven, yeah! right.

Liddle is a good footballer. Injury prone yes but he is a very good footballer.
