We’d be better off with Gutho at 6 and Dylan at 7. Then find a fullback. Maybe Russell or just buy one.
That actually sounds like a half decent succession plan, should Moses' manager decide Moses will play elsehwere in 2024.

And then all we'd need is a hooker to pick up from Hodgson when he retires.

He is 30yrs old.


He is 30yrs old. Can cover fullback,centre,halves, hooker. Genuine utility. Would cost at a guess about 150-200k

Hodgson at best stays fit and plays 60 mins a week. The odds of him breaking down are quite high. Either way we need someone for 20mins. It's either Rein,Asi or JA at this stage. I've not seen Asi. But JA can't even play the position he is trying to master at NRL level. All of a sudden he is a hooker option and utility?

Utilities are guys who have a lot of talent but just not good enough for one. Guys like Tyrone Peachey for example. The whole JA debate - Turn him into a forward, He is a utility is a load of horse shit.

At this stage he is just a kid that most likely isn't good enough to make it in the NRL.
It isn't like he has so much talent and power he needs to find another position. Unless he makes it as a halfback why would you wate your time on him.
LOL@ the people trying to talk Jake up as a forward prospect, it's just pure cope on the fact he isn't a first graders arsehole. He couldn't stand out in a reserve grade game with almost all the ball. Not only did he not stand out he struggled. I'll say i again if his last name was Smith he'd be battling it out for a NSW Cup spot.

But that pass in the 78th minute when everyone was fatigued from 38 degrees. Fmd the hole was 10mtrs wide.

As if there has ever been any try with heavy involvement from JA.
Maybe one day or wingers will catch on.

When ja tries to put one of those kick out of touch kicks, our wingers should leap from just inside the tryline and knock it back to our centre

I just don't think our wingers are onto that play yet. When they do, Cleary will take it to a whole new level

Nobody is giving Jake any compliments full stop. Who are you actually arguing with right now ?

I think get rid of rankin and let asi get some time in nsw cup to really dominate and learn our system.

He can be first backup or if moses doesn't re-sign

Weren't you one of the ones trying to tell us his future is in the forwards??? LOL!! And i'm not arguing with anyone i just think it's funny that anyone thinks he's capable of playing anywhere near the pack. His legs are sticks.

Yeah BA would consider it because it’s his son. His judgement is clouded. The kid would not get a contract anywhere else.
I agree. Cooper Johns looks like his uncle compared to Jake. Every single move looks like it’s done via a 90’s satellite. It’s painful to watch how slow he is. If he steals a spot from someone on the bench it will be criminal.

Atleast he is consistent.
