He tackles about as well as the 2 f**kers the Panfers recently signed, it’s the orf season so does give odd smug fan an opportunity to bag off their closest neighbour. Now even though you have us covered in NRL. Must be painful to get beat in the junior reps this season by a bunch of try hards.
Not nearly as painful as going for the Eels that’s for sure.

He had a good breakout season for the tigers , I hope he plays on edge for us with Matterson continuing to come off the bench as a middle

Another edge player who will be pushed into the middle, oh joy!! Who really cares about backs.

With Lane back and we do have Bryce I just don't understand it if it isn't depth. A rate both them as superior. It also means Hopgood starts and Matterson on the bench. Jnr and RCG.
Joe O take another bench spot. That just leave two. Grieg I imagine gets one for sure and I feel Morretti showed enough to get the other. That's my top 17 forward pack.

I'd be happy with depth signings after that for the forward pack. Unless we found a better hooker the other positions is a class centre. Happy to give Russel one more off season to improve. At this point he is a position we could improve but also an age where he could go up a level with a huge off season.

I really would go

10. Emu
9. Lussick
8. Reg
11. Lane
12. Carty
13. Matto

14. Hands
15. Hopgood
16. Joffa
17. Jnr

i feel we need Hands to come on an liven and speed things up a bit together with Hoppa.

He will also be backup for the halves and fullback (i.e. Mitch or Dyl to 1 if Guth is off)

Carty to cover centres (if a centre or wing goes down) which allows Matto to go edge.


If no coverage necessary, then just have to rotate each week the minutes between reg, emu, jnr, joffa, hopgood, matto. i,e. some plays less 1 week and then more the next

Except when at Penrith, Kikau was regarded as the games best Backrower.
Only in attack. His form at Canterbury just shows Penrith were able to hide him in defence. The value of having strong defensive halves is that the players on either side only have to worry about their own game. And we have the best defensive half in the game.
But good one.
Agreed
