A couple of smart cookies were calling for us to look at signing Lofi Khan-Pereirha a couple of years back before his salary exploded... His pace and finishing was there for all to see.
Probably why his salary exploded. There's no discounts when slobs at home can see a player has talent. The ship has sailed.

💯.
That's why blokes like him, Xavier Savage, Kini, Sloan, Koula may have mistakes or some flaws but gee they are game breakers and in full flight they finish off tries and can go the distance...
If Flanno wants to tell Sloan he ain't good enough yet I'd be happily making enquiries legitimately through Loamx of course...
Guth can teach him the finer things from centre or wing.
Guth will be great wherever you play him...

I get the feeling you resent when other posters display significantly more insight than you like to think you possess and this is when you get personal and start referring to them as slobs and deadshits...

You need to get past it mate. It's unattractive...

Nah I just don't like when nobodies (or slobs or deadshits) pretend they know more than the people who get paid to make decisions, in any field.

The Titans haven't won a finals match since beating Ivan Cleary's Warriors side in 2010. Merkins don't want to be there. If they're buying or retaining players, they aren't getting them for unders.

Unless you or some of the other slobs or deadshits around here know any better, i don't think Khan-Pereirha was being chased by any other clubs in any meaningful way when they extended him, it was good business because I reckon he'd still be on a modest contract. And in this particular case I would actually back my insight over the likes of our HOF and assert that he was exactly the sort of player we should have been chasing... But all good, Russell and Dunster on the same sort of money or unders will do the trick for a while.... FMD.

Yeah I don't think he'd be on huge money either, because he's not that good. He's fast and a very good finisher, but then so was Nathan Merritt. Hell, so is Sivo, who is also good in the air.

Dunster was a more well rounded player prior to his injury. Russell at least has some positional versatility. But I think AKP would be on at least as much as Dunster, and more than Russell. He'd probably be on less than Sivo. Just my opinion. We don't know how much any of them are on.

Lol. You wot mate??

What exactly was Dunster better at than AKP? One has 3 tries from 19 top grade games, the other has just become the first player in 62 years to score 40 tries in less than 40 games. So one of them is clearly surpassing their KPI's as a winger (i.e scoring tries).

Sivo is a good finisher yes, but outside the oppositions 10 metre line he is a cat and his discipline is shithouse. I'd swap Dunster, Sivo and Russell for AKP and keep the change to bring someone else with some speed and intent in to our squad.

Still, I think it's ridiculous that Dunster was given a 3 year deal injuries or not.

That's the thing we complain that we don't lock up our Juniors that show potential then we do with Dunster and he f**ks is knee in the first season..

Basically filling a top 30 spot for 3 years and not doing anything

40 tries in less than 40 games you say? Sivo has scored 41 in his last 39 games and some merkins think he's shit. You're only talking up AKP because he plays for another club.

He wouldn't be if I had my way 12 months ago... He was exactly what we needed... But we were happy to wait for the next batch of Rhinos to come through... Apparently they were going to be the next big things and our saviours until they did their ACL's....
Them two getting injured cost us a top 4 spot.
