I don’t think Walters starting will be as positive as many think. His impact is in spurts and needs space. He would be more valuable to us as a bench change giving us some spark/dynamic game off the bench.

The side is ok, I’m not as happy as some.

LL hasn’t impressed much yet & will take time to gel.

BJ hasn’t had a Madge offseason and will take longer in the backs to get combos working. Expect a tough year for him

Momo will come in but for who…
AD will come in for CT but where does CT go
Jennings has looked different so far (amazing what a full pre-season does to players).

We are missing a glue guy - Matto/ET were those last year doing the cleaning up + 3rd man + gap filler from our forward pack just don’t see one of those

It’s only a trial and we know they mean little but do want to see signs ahead of our first few rounds on how they play together

Sure nofo has weaknesses especially reading defence patterns but he also is our best hit up merchant and knows how to finish when he gets some decent ball.

Put a quality center inside him and I think that could reduce his defensive weakness outside of bombs - only stilts or bombs being banned could save him on that one.

@barnzee said in Tigers and Storm Player Loan Swap:

And they will loose Simpkin or Liddle if grant signs

Simpkin is a while away
Liddle I wouldn’t lose sleep over if we had Grant & Simpkin in the ranks.

They have to get to the ball first, the rule change will either drive defense changes to block runners or punch outs like afl.

Think the rule change is crap, we won’t benefit from it anytime soon.

If true this would be extremely positive news for us, not so much for this year but mainly for next year.

Geez hope he gets a release and we can snare him.
He seems really hungry. Love how he talks concord & at us in a positive way.
Only issue with it would be we lose our last roster spot.

Please no to Lichaa - he is deadset hopeless.
His ruck speed, defense and options are poor. He also passes post pickup/step which slows downtime for forwards & halves to get the advantage.

If we are that desperate blood a rookie & take a hit this year

I’ve always hated tries scored from bombs and it will be worse now.
There’s a simple solution … if you score from a bomb it’s only worth 2 points.

What differentiates a bomb from a chip?

The label on the packet?

Good to see Abbey is staying.
Hope his knees come good and he can have an injury free period this season for us.

Why wouldn’t he stay?
We only just signed him…
Hasn’t even played a game.

He was only on a train and trial deal initially not a squad deal.
