Doubt it, he’s too fat. Bad on the knees. NO should’ve picked Ja instead of Zion imo

How’s Blore coming along? Future looks bright in terms of young forwards it seems!

Blore to prop, Talau to back row. You can see it's started.

Not if you’re referring to Blore. Outside his debut, has shown zilch.

Excellent decision by the club. I can see him off the bench next year. He is a real smoky as a backrower. I think he will surprise a few people in that position.
I was told 2 weeks ago by someone at the club that Blore will end up in the middle.

So have we extended him? If so, for how long?

We have the slowest backline in the comp and Sheens has identified a need for speed. Talau is not fast and is no better back than the likes of Naden, Kepaoa, To'a all of whom are under contract for next season. This is all part of the problem, we have so many players of the same ability in our squad. Lots of ok players but no great ones. It's a terrible way to manage a squad.
After 2 ACLs and a variety of other injuries i can't see too many clubs queuing up for him. Hopefully he feels a certain loyalty to repay the faith shown in him by the club. I'd offer a train and trial for the first few months with an nrl contract forthcoming depending on his transition to the back row. We simply don't have room in our NRL squad for another project player. He's got to earn a new contract by beefing up, improving his engine and being prepared to rip in as a forward.

The way I read it, it could train and trial.
Tommy has packed on some size.
Hopefully his mind is ready and his heart is good to go.
He could do a job for us next year, in the backrow due to how low our stock is in that position.

Been on the Leilua recovery diet?
Alex Twal diet by the looks of it.
All muscle.
Be interested to see how he goes as a backrower.

We didn’t get JAC regardless. We could have got Johnston for half the price if we weren’t so focused on JAC.
Haha.....
Yep, I confirmed that about Blore in my post on Sunday

Train and trial is a fair outcome for both parties, with Tommy hopefully forcing a decision on a deal in his favour.
