Should be fullback

Might end up there as the season progresses but at this stage CNK is the incumbent the RTS will have to dislodge.
Will be interesting seeing how RTS adapts to centre, he was predominantly used in the midfield for his Union career which has some transferable aspects

Dally m fullback of the year

If he rediscovers his old form has the X factor they lack in attack

RTS too old for that role, so centre is Perfect now that he has aged... not unlike val holmes at cows.. CNK is the right speed for them at FB

The X factor we were missing was more at centre than FB though. Hopefully Adam Pompey is a NSW Cup/depth guy only this year. RTS/Berry/Leiataua should be the first choice guys.

At 30 ?

6

yeh I was going to say six too but fullback was safer option as he’s played it

Central 7, split CNK and RTS either edge as 1 & 6.

He'll be a great 6,especially alongside Johnson. Johnson is a great passer , kicker and organiser and rts is great a running the ball and defence - not a bad passer either.
The only change will be metcalf to the bench and a great spark in attack once he comes on.
It's all there except probably need another big bopper to step up with Aden.

Wahs don’t have enough attack other than sj

they have this star player now who can take them to the next level

sj can focus on organising and bombs then they needed a foil at six or one who can take the line on

the game plan should literally be pass it to shek

To a degree. If you're not presenting good shape will decoys ect, they'll defend him. The good work happens off the ball so the person with it can show their magic.
Webster did a great job with thier defence and attitude but were often flat in attack . Roger will help but more depth and organisation will really put them into premiership contention.

You obviously havent watched the wahs this season, metcalf was a massive threat on the left, and all over the park, wade egan has been cutting teams up thru the middles, tohu harris at lock, and dylan walker spark off the bench.. they have the cattle

Yes but to be fair he was a beneficiary of the dally m flaw where he was good in a shit squad being pretty much the only one collecting points each week.
Stoked to have RTS back in the team the team but the general consensus when his signing was announced was ”is he surplus to requirement with cnk already on board?”
RTS is probably still better in attack but he has been out of the game for 2 seasons and coming off less than stellar form in Union. CNK is arguably safer in defence and despite having less X factor was a vital cog in a lot of our sweep plays this season.
Although unproven RTS at Center and CNK at fullback is probably a better combination than the reverse

I did and they got belted in the semis

they could easily miss the top four this year too

Beat by the best 2 teams in all the season, yes ypur calculations seem pretty spot on

Gap between top two and rest was massive

their attack was clueless for much of the year

Metcalf was only a massive threat for the Warriors until teams worked out he's only good at running. That puts too much pressure on SJ as the sole playmaker.

IIRC when they announced the signing they specifically mentioned RTS would be a centre.

Huh?
Every NRL club is profitable .
17 million grant, 12 million cap... do the math.
The NRL is literally the only Comp in the world that offers a guaranteed return. Add in the exponential growth that it's going through...
And the A league isn't a big brand by any stretch of the imagination.
There's 2 things:
Auckland is an international city for which He's probably fond of and Soccer is probably a game he's fond of.

That's like saying people on the dole earn their money lol.

That's like saying people on the dole earn their money lol.

Possibly the worst analogy I've heard.

ALL the NRL's money comes from the club playing- ALL
The money is then redistributed to the clubs.
Kinda why it's structured so they can operate in their best capacity without concern for finances...

You made a stupid comment that NRL clubs are a money pit for investors...
You could just say " my bad, that wasn't remotely the case " and we can move on or you can keep digging with even dumber comments..
Your choice.
