Pritchard would take that tba spot on the bench imo.

Is that Bronco's winger Jordan Kahu still off contract? He would go alright and is better than anything else we have.

Sandor earl is playing lower grades for Canberra.

I'd make enquires about him tbh. Always seems to find the try line. He may be after an opportunity.

Completely agree!

We have been fielding a NSW cup class back line (bar Hayne and Morgan) since grothe, reddy, burt, inu and Tahu left the club!

We are in desperate for a couple of experienced first graders in our back line if we want to be a force next season. Anyone who things guys like Sio, Blair, Toutai etc are up to FG standards are kidding themselves!

I reckon Sio will be a quality winger in a strong team. His only fault is his decision making, which can be hidden by better support.

Plus he has a few strengths that he doesn't get much opportunity to show in a struggling side.

Mannah
Tba
Fui
Hock
Tanginoa
Mossop

Tba
Lussik
Terepo
Loko

Loko pushes into left edge forward when Hock comes off and Terepo goes into lock pushing Mossop into prop! Give us plenty off attacking options in our pack, we have lacked punch off the bench for a few season now, Terepo and Loko give us that punch.

Wow great pack. Wish i had posted that.

Where did u put Allgood?

Our forwards are not that bad. We can hold them for at least half the game. The problem is we are not scoring when we are holding them. Confidence then decreases and problems occur with our defence. Notice how teams are buoyed when they start scoring?

WTF??? We have the worst forward pack in the comp by a country mile. Have you really been watching any games this year because if so you would clearly see they are being killed week in week out in collisions and speed around the ruck.

You've been banging on for weeks about moving Hayne to 6 and now you think Soward is the solution to most of the problems...give me break!!!!!

Would make a good reserve grade half for next year I guess and a good half with Sandow for the rest of the season, better than Roberts and Luke Kelly.

Is he really better than Luke Kelly? Both players are good enough backup halves, which is what either of them will be next year if they're at the Eels.

Really? Geez, and he turns 22 in a couple of months. He'd have to be almost fully grown, and you want your edge forwards to be at least 100kg.

Well that's what the commentators on Fox Sports were saying when he played a couple of weeks ago, 90kgs apparently. Maybe he only had one foot on the scales?

FWIW, his wikipedia page lists him as 87kg

I'd say catching bombs would be another large fault. There wouldn't be too many worse wingers in first grade than him

It's all about confidence, he has 0 confidence like most of our team, I remember the first 10 weeks he came into first grade he was great under the high ball.
Once he gets some confidence along with the team, those bombs he is dropping now will be taken by him.

2 - 3 weeks ago I would have had Allgood on the bench with Terepo in NSW cup and Mossop playing exclusively in the tight back row position. But after watching Terepo it's hard to leave him out of first grade, he has a combination of speed, footwork and strength that is hard to find. That not only helps us dominate the ruck but also puts point on the board.

Due to the rise of Terepo I would put Allgood in NSW cup, obviously he will still play plenty of FG filling in for injury and suspension. But this is what we need a strong top 25, guys in Nsw cup who can do the job when called on!

He is 23 this year and going backwards. He'd want to start fixing his confidence issues, decision making ability and catching ability pretty dam quick
