    I forget which game it was but I said Paulo still has value but it’s not going to be at his price tag or the expectation of him playing 50-60 minutes. So really fitness only really needs to be at the expectation of him exploding for 30 minutes (possibly over 2 stints). Which would put him on par...

    Ffs chasing the collision isn’t literal… It’s about preparedness and aggression at impact. That said I included Gutho and Penisini. They took backwards steps in that regard this year. TBF broken ribs will probably do that.

    I don’t think they do honestly. At very best, they do but lack RCG’s awareness/attitude. Now I think about I don’t think they will cover RCG, but hopefully only marginally

    I think next season will be a make-do season that could go in any direction. There are a number of players that likely won’t be renewed after 2025, regardless of their form, and others even under contract who’ll likely be given permission to leave. At least if they do stay, it’ll be in vastly...

    We’ll be tested for depth definitely but that’s replacing the likes of Makatoa & Ogden. If we’re trying to replace RCG like for like we potentially put ourselves back in same position with 2 high priced props who have large defensive deficiencies.

    Hey certain people may shout me down but they were happy to berate the stupidity of certain other players yet wilfully ignore Moretti’s at best naïveté. Happy to be proven wrong but.

    Except for Gutho, Drown, Moses, Penisini, Hands. Or we can continue to misunderstand what chasing collision is.

    In terms of impact, we need Paulo to be at his best particularly in offence. Then the others need to focus on the defensive side where we’ll see greater and easier gains covering RCG and Paulo’s lacking defence from this year. For me this is Ofahengaue and then trying to develop Guymer into that...

    Yeah I’d probably only go a middle if they were top shelf. I’d be looking at an edge forward or 2 because that’s where we’re lacking, then maybe hooker there’s room. Every other position should really only be depth 1-2 year signings for 1-2 seasons/until other players are moved on (or decline to...

    2024 Week 1: FINALS Sep13-15

    I think we can all agree another Smugs win is what we’re hoping for. Followed by them being pinged for salary cap rorting for past 5 years, stripped of titles and having their NRL licence sold to PNG as penalty.

    I think you’re linking 2 disparate qualities though. Sure if the players have same fitness and skill then the bigger player has the advantage. But fitness and agility tend to oppose size. It’s a sliding scale but I believe in the current game, fitness and agility are more important than size...

    Don’t we usually lowball players? Would seem odd to then shit ourselves over Talagi

    Rumours and Stuff

    For every Storm releasing NZ incumbent hooker Richard Swain to promote Cameron Smith, there’s a Souths letting Adam Reynolds go to keep Lachlan Ilias. That said I don’t trust our club officials’ talent identification and I said at start of season Talagi was going to end up as starting centre...

    Could it be maybe when he was in Parra as a 12 year old or whatever that possibly he wasn’t that good? I mean I don’t trust our talent identification but it doesn’t mean they were wrong at time

    Old mate Tigers was telling us we did him dirty. I think he’s a pea heart.
