Was the new prop a gee up?
I feel like Mannah will have his best season in a long time. I am interested too see if Alvaro improves or stagnates. He has had now close to 2 full seasons game wise in first grade. That is usually when guys go up another level or not. His improvement has been rapid. I never rated the guy.
I also feel Terepo injury free has a lot too offer. Big season for him ahead also. In 2016 i thought he realy started to come good. 2017 was a ride off.
These 3 with Evans will make the top 17 for mine.

Got a decent backup in Gower as well.
I reckon we are well stocked for forwards for this year, but will probably try and get a bigger name for next year.

I am a HUGE fan of David Gower. A blue collar type player EVERY CLUB needs in their ranks.
Won't win you many games, but won't lose you many either. Does the 1% ers efficiently.
I expect Tony Williams to be the 'surprise packet' of the season....and 'buy' of the year....

Also Brown and Moeroa. Good bunch of middle forwards. I reckon Tony Williams might play in the middle too, instead of Terepo.

You dont rate Terepo? I like his defense and his runs seem a little more oomph. Certainly capable of busting the line or hurting the opposing team.
People wine about his hands but I reckon that is a little over the top. Makes the odd error.

I dont see Gower getting much Game time at all. I see Niakuore,Stone and T rex leap frogging him in the pecking order.

No, we still only have 28 players in our 30 man squad. One spot will stay for Semi for a little while I guess and we will fill the remaining spot.

Who that is I don’t know. The rumour was it’s been filled.

Semi signed for a french club recently did he not?

Who said I don't rate him? I just rate more talented and experienced players ahead of him. I certainly think he would be one of the highest quality backup middle forwards in the NRL, and I wouldn't be surprised if Arthur's has him in the top 17.
