Regan is a peaheart

He is a beast. Been Parras best forward for a few years now.
Bryce is my tip for a huge season.

I agree Bryce seems to finally be getting there…

I didn’t say it was an Issue.

Defence is 50% of the game. When a player is the best in his position in defence, surely he’s worthy of consideration.

I think Kenny at 9 and Api on the bench is worth looking at. Especially with Nath at 7 and Yeo 13

Is Kenny really that much of a better defender than Cam McInnes or is he just in a better team. He's one of the toughest and one of the best right now but saying definitively he's the best. I don't know about that.

I actually quite like the Moses/Cleary halves pairing idea..

I didn’t count Cam because he hasn’t been playing Hooker. But I take your point.

Cam gets through a lot of work, but I don’t recall him ever belting anyone. Kenny hits like a front rower

Can did 80 tackles on our lot last year near the end of the season, poor guy was buggered, you would have to think the coach wouldve taken him off for a breather

Most coaches in regards to tackling think of winning the ruck and how much you win the tackle. Controlling the ruck speed and how consistently you do it is the biggest thing coaches judge tackling on. Big hits are in general a bonus to them and it works in reverse. It's why Matty Eiso can plod forward and fans hate it and don't rate him but as long as he gets a relatively decent/alright play the ball away consistently a coach like Ivan doesn't care and will continue to play him. Same with Woods and all plodders who keep playing first grade.

Isaah Yeo is by far the best at ruck control, slowing down the ruck/winning the play the ball in our team and it's not even close. You could argue that makes him the best defender despite Yeo not hitting anyone. Similarly you could argue Cam Smith was the best defender whenever he played for the same reason despite playing alongside some intimidating hard hitting defenders.

 

[Bred not Bought]

Off-contract at the end of the year. I will be watching Finefeuiaki closely this afternoon.
I haven't seen much of him but my cousin reckons he is a potential wrecking ball on the edge.

It's a little bit high, don't you all think? $2.7 would have been on point.

His form badly stalled last year but I'm hoping it was just his pec

 

[age.s]

Good stuff. Now let's lock down Taymay.

If we can keep Tago and May fit, they will be the best centres combo in the comp. Great skills and power.

Hopefully the front office gets the signatures.

Both are great but will having 2 centres who are so similar hurt us?

Do we bother signing Turuva? We'd benefit with a tall winger with Critter gone

We’d probably have to sign one from somewhere if height is an attribute we need. There doesn’t appear to be a tall, fast athletic winger outside of first grade at present. Not NRL quality anyway.
