a question for the forum faithful! would you re sign Sio for 2015?

Would depend on the external demand for him plus our internal options. I wouldn't keep him at risk of losing a potential star, but I wouldn't swap him for a kid who was merely a potential first grader.

Sio is a genuine first grader and as long as he wasn't demanding big bucks to stay (highly unlikely) I would keep him.

As with every player, depends on price. But I certainly wouldn't actively shop him around etc.

If he has a good year, and keeping him means we can't keep a couple of rising stars, then the question gets tougher.

Put Sio on the end of a manly, storm , bunnies , dogs backline and he would be close to top try scorer for the last few years and one of the better wingers in the comp.

Apart from dropping a few bombs Sio has been pretty good for us, always seems to have the ability to get a try

Very underrated and I reckon he is as good if not better then some of the wingers choosen for nsw over the last few years , turner, Williams , mcnanus , Merritt

If we were to let Sio go, he would probably end up at somewhere like Manly and turn out to be another Taufua or Williams and kill it.

As I said earlier I'm not convinced that Morgan is the 3rd choice centre. He is young, consistent and always improving whereas Tonga has been plagued by injuries and is at the backend of his career. That being said I wonder how a fit Tonga would go playing lock?


After a game at lock, he wouldn't be a fit Tonga anymore.


Are you serious?! :crazy:

Saw Ualesi yesterday at the club, was in the recovery room. Currently injured, understand he is on fringe of NRL. expects to start at Wenty to get hard work, highly regarded by the coaching staff

Now Joe Grima has left the Drags, you still haunt our juniors, isn't the Sth Coast big enough ?

Sio and Semi would be my wingers. Morgan will get his chance when the inevitable injuries occur to Hoppa and Tonga.

In a heartbeat.

Like Colonel said, he is great at returning kicks and from dummy-half. He also has speed and is a great finisher.

And in his debut season, he was safe as a bank under the high ball. Last season was poor by his standards, but he is better than that.

I'm a big fan of Ualesi. Big, strong, mobile and with a great motor.

Yep. Say Hayne and Hoppa are picked for NSW, then up come Hunt and Morgs, or if Tonga goes down. Hunt can either go to Fullback or to the Wing, if Sio moves to Fullback.

Cummins could be a surprise packet too.

So good to have some depth to play around with.

I wouldn't play Hunt anywhere but fullback, he is way too small for wing.

Based on Tonga's performances over the past two years, he will be injured sooner rather than later.

Let's hope he isn't but.
