Yep... no Gagai for me...
watched too many ordinary efforts for souths... and those are the games you get, not the boy wonder of SSO
-if it happens you absolutely need to move on Aitken or Lafai form a cap perspective...

Much prefer RCG... but let’s see what happens

Get Gagai and play him at fb.
He's a strong runner of the ball and proven big game player.
Safe under the high ball and strong runner of the football.
Just not sure about his ball playing in the sweeping roll for attack though.

No for Gagai!
If both his previous 2 club coaches in Bennett & Siebold can't get him firing, then what hope has he got under McGoose. Our bloke wiould spiral his career & development backwards like Aitken.

Just get rid of EA, problem solved!

To me it is simple, RCG for JDB and Walker for Aitken. No increase to cap. Then bring Saab into first grade and we should be right:
1. Lomax
2. Pearson
3. Walker
4. Lafai / Saab / Pereira
5. Ravalawa

Most of the Bunnies supporters on social media are keen to see the back of him. And given his reported price tag is $750k then it's double no from me.

If the rumours on Dane Gagai are true surely we throw the kitchen sink at this..
Funny how the rumours come about after a MOM performance in origin again. His manager has timed this well to bump up the price tag.
If the master coach lets him go...that is good enough for me to say NO. Besides how many MOM performances has he had at club level. Gagai strikes me as another Timanu Tahu.

You want the most hated man playing in rugby league ATM and a front row forward who looks like a porn star and runs side on at our club. And know you want to keep Timmy.
Your worse than the Millward MESS.
Have you now forgotten about Johnston, Oates, & Val Holmes..and what about Ponga..he is underpaid at the Knights.
Cmon Basil get all 4

For me a Walker for Aitken and RCG for De Belin would be the simplest way forward and maybe, just maybe, simple enough for Millward to arrange.

RCG will come good with a change of clubs and his cousins the Sims boys will straighten him out very quickly. I believe RCG would be a great signing and Walker as centre will straighten the attack and put his winger away far more frequently.

What's awesome is that all it took was 1 decent game from the wingers (against a bottom of the table team mind you) to retrieve them from the scrap heap and be praised as the next best thing. Next poor game from them and they'll be relegated again. Some of this shit is embarrassing.

Until there are better options, we must work with what's been delivered to us. In the meantime give credit where credit is due.

RCG would be ideal and a change of club and the influence of his cousins would, hopefully, get him back into form.

The bigger question for me is: do we have centre problem or a fullback problem?
Aitkens rumours are growing by the hour, and his position (on the right) was very ably filled by Lomax. Aitkens switch to the left was a failure, however, Lafai will come back into that position, and there are no rumours of Lafai being moved on. So he will slot back there on his return.

Therefore, do we leave Lomax at centre? Or is now the issue at fullback, where Dufty doesn't seen to be the right choice?
Do we move Lomax there which solves Fullback, but creates a centre issue or leave hin at centre which creates a fullback problem.

We have signed a gun fullback but he is young and McGregor will keep him away from NRL level.

Lets also not try to fit square pegs in round holes or sign journeynen just to cover.

The Aitken for Walker solves the right centre position problem and the Lomax for Dufty solves the fullback position problem. And yes the RCG for De Belin with Frizell going to lock solves the lock position and beefs up our prop rotation.

Awesome, all we need now is for all that to happen. This club seems to do everything at a snails pace.

Yep I am over all players that are a 1 game or say a few game wonders...cause the media say so.and have the shortest memories..or players are off contract or vying for something else outside just doing it for the jersey and loyal fans.

Do tell me...how long has it been since RCG or Walker had their last good game or 1st grade regular form?
