I donā€™t think you remember the start of last season well enough. Jirah started the first trial at right edge whilst doorey was on the bench. He also started there for most of the pre season until right up to the trials. Once he lost his spot to doorey he still maintained a spot on the bench ahead of murchie. He was very clearly the desired replacement, he just worked out to be a terrible buy.
The first trial team was full of nuffies. Komolafe and Rankin started ffs: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2023/02/07/nrl-team-list-trial-v-panthers/

Momoisea wasn't even in the top 17 for the second trial: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2023/02/14/nrl-team-list-trial-v-knights/

Morgan Harper is not as bad as people make out. He is definitely a first grader and a great competitor. Iā€™m predicting an Opačić type of progression.
People are fixated on one horrendous game. I also donā€™t think heā€™s seen as a definite starter. Itā€™s Penisini on one side and whoever is doing least worst out of Simonsson and Harper on the other, with also the potential if Dunster regains some form that Russell could also potentially be added to that choice. But as I predicted elsewhere, I think itā€™s moot because by end of year, theyā€™ll all be overtaken.

Des admitted he bought him back too early after he was out with covid.

I wonder if the dogs wanted Gabrael as Iro is on the move?
Would like him at the eels he plays left centre to go with will on the right.

I am also going to guess if we asked about Tracey the Sharks wanted one of our Juniors in return which we said no thanks

letā€™s be honest, he couldnā€™t make the Knights NRL team when they were decimated by injuries, possibly worth a shot but it was a very long one.


A very odd signing. Multi year and top 30, not sure how anyone can defend the club for that b

he's faster and from what I recall, better attack than Opacic but reading defense, not sure. He looks like a bigger body too.

I think he was at right centre for moanly, doubt he would take Willy Peni's spot. So he would be left centre or winger I guess if he made it
