Hey? .... do I get special credit?

Hehe, "special credit". We hardly know each other, but ok. Send me your phone number.

 

[SneakyEel]

So N. Brown doesn't get a look in?

I think he's saying that Niukore to centre with Matto and Lane on the edges. Brown is our best 13 he'll be there

 

[TheRam]

Greig will be that guy.

Yeah I'm hoping that too mate. He needs to develop and improve his hitup speed to increase his impact at the point of collision though and of course get more NRL fitness ready especially from a defensive point of view.

Once he is taking 2 and 3 defenders with him in metres post contact and then getting quick play the balls he will be close to the finished product. Then he can just start to focus on the bells and whistle stuff like passing and offloads.

Defensively he will need to work a lot harder to not be a liability if he wants to do long minutes.

Lads, I don't think we're going to bad as a lot of people think in 2023. We've still got plenty of skill and with young bucks coming up who could be better or just as good as Niukore/Kaufusi/Papali'i/Stone. If we resign Matto or sign Nikora we're still going to be pretty good especially if Dylan keeps up his form. Also, I think Hodgson will be really good for us, gets a year to get the body right and will be fresh. A Hodgson and Rein combo could be a really decent combo.

1. Gutherson
2. Sivo/Russell
3. Blake
4. Penisini
5. Simonsson
6. D.Brown
7. Moses
8. Campbell-Gillard
9. Hodgson
10. Paulo
11. Lane
12. Matterson/Nikora
13. N.Brown
14. Rein
15. Cartwright
16. Greig
17. Rodwell

This is still a top 4 side imo.

If you want special credit mate, you gotta finish the job.

Matto not yet re-signed ?

 

[Gronk]

He’s going to need more than 10 mins a game to be that guy.

BA always eases rookie forwards into matches. He did the same with Oregon and Marata. Why you surprised ?

Kafusi started and played big minutes his first few games. Then he was backed off. He hasn't improved much since his debut in my opinion.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Jack Hetherington is apparently free to negotiate with other clubs for 2023. Has been moved to the edge……and just about to hit his prime years…..

I think he may cost a bit much? I also like him but.

I reckon the head knocks haven't helped him, he played some big games last year. In the last round against Penrith he was just about the best forward on the field before he went off with a HIA.

I’d take him in an instance. We enquired last time but he wanted too much.

moved to an edge and now out for the rest of the year. Would be a decent pick up but only if cheap.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Not sure what he is worth, but reckon we have at least $500k probably more to spend on an edge forward (see offers to papa / bird), not that I wouId offer him that much…

 

[Gronk]

Kafusi started and played big minutes his first few games. Then he was backed off. He hasn't improved much since his debut in my opinion.

He played his first 29 matches off the bench. The first match he played v Storm he played the last 20 mins when we were down 16-0. He didn't play firsts the next week. Then in the final game of the year he played 45 mins in literally the worse forward pack assembled in history. He was subbing off fatso Vave and old man Mannah and picking up the slack for Kane Evans.



He then played

18 mins in Rnd 3 2019
14 mins in Rnd 4
41 mins in Rnd 6 (we lost Alvaro after 1 min)
28 mins in Rnd 7 (injury to Paulo)
26 mins in Rnd 8
22 mins in Rnd 9
13 mins in Rnd 10

He then didn't play again until

24 mins in Rnd 4 2020
41 mins in Rnd 7 (90 min game)

Would depend on whether we saw him as an edge where he is a bit untested, or a middle.

Probably the quickest forward in the comp.

Why is nrown and the front row offside?

 

[Incorrect]

Be a good match race between him and Beau Fermor.... I'm a fan of Fermor

A lot of effort but I just scrolled right pass and ignored it so I wouldn't give you a y satisfaction of potential trials proving me wrong.
