The 195cm Indigenous All Star can play as both an edge and middle forward and at 20 years-of-age is a highly regarded prospect.

Roberts will join the Wests Tigers on a Development deal in 2026, before moving into the Top 30 in 2027.
Is he related to our Jimmy the jet James Roberts?

Anyone of those 6 along with KPP would kick our club along. Imagine some how, with tpa's and a war chest we got Hass.

To'a extends until 28.
I love this. Everytime this guy stays on the paddock for an extended time he plays awesome footy. No better example than at the start of this year when he was leading the Dally M centres.
We've got to get this guy injury free for an entire season. I rate the him.

My take is we have one extra outside back.

1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Starford To’a
4. Heamasi Makasini
5. Tyrone May --> not yet signed

--> I have Skelton missing out but who knows what will happen.

Im in two minds tbh. I think Turava looks better at 1.
And Ive not been impressed with how Bulla nearly always lets the ball bounce off a kick.
Turava seems to attack it more

Its firming up 05.
And if Bulla goes, Turava goes to fb and Skelton comes back in
I don’t see Bula going anywhere, his wife plays here now.
I think they’re all seeing the direction we’re heading in and want to be a part of it.

We need a physical presence coming out of our red zone.

He's reliable in scoring meat pies, is tall, strong and hes getting better each game. He needs to be there.
One of the backs could find himself playing as a utility, one who can cover every position from the bench
To'a is the only one who comes to mind

Agree, he still needs developing.
As soon as these players are ready, clubs like the rorterd wil pounce.
The only reason the rorters r unlikely to be interested is he isn’t a Giraffe.The way the game is policed 2day where u can’t touch players leaping for the ball kicked by their halves it makes tall wingers like tupou & Coates invaluable

Absolutely Tiger. Having at least 1 tall winger is important. Generally speaking that is.
Ivan picked wingers based on their ability to get the ball out if the red zone and finish off attacking raids in the corners. Their combo of Turuva and To'a did very well in multiple GFs
Personally I like to have 1 tall tough player who is tough and can kick like a Lomax and a To'o on ther side but Turuva will do
