As I said, my concern was never specifically with Samuela, it is with the team itself not having enough explosive speed and line break threat in comparison to most other NRL teams.
Samuela himself is not slow for a big man, he has shown he has enough speed to hit gaps, make line breaks and score tries, but our back row this season only really had him as a genuine line break threat.
Whether or not the addition of KPP for 2026 will now mean we have another line break threat remains to be seen. I think KPP might have it in him despite mostly looking sluggish when carrying the ball for the Knights this season.

I wouldn’t agree that you never had problems with Samuela’s play earlier in the year ..

It’s way too early in his career to weaken one position for another and stifle the development of a 22 yr old above average player that you have already invested two years into … his combination with Jarome improved over the course of the year …so hopefully with that increased familiarity there I are better things to come..

Signing KPP is irrelevant to Samuela …they need two guys playing the position and they are on opposite sides …it was like earlier in the year you were using this ( his signing) as a reason to move Sam … I have some doubts still about KPP and I wouldnt want to use him coming to the club as a reason to mess around with the plan and development of Sam..,
 
Great job guys , enjoyed this one for the first of many this year , my prediction with the time it’s taking is Bulla will go , he will sign with another club probably Dogs and then his grub manager will do a Galvin and try and move him over mid season causing us more drama , I just got that bad feeling,
I think our new temp CEO will stay on full time with a 2 year deal on top of this season .
Break out players - Roberts , KPP , Bunty .
Adam D to start at 7 and rip it up keeping Latu on the bench .
May Jnr to have an outstanding year with loads of try’s .
May Snr to carry on from last season as solid non stop prop.
Love to know what you guys think of this batch and anyone else .

I think AD starts at 7 but Latu is the superior half and can see when he comes on he takes the role and they move AD to a 13 type of role in attack.
it should mean we have 3 good points of attach and AD towering bombs, we should go well.
I think we will go very close to making the semis this year either 7th 8th 9th or 10th
