Rumours and Stuff

I think he is a bit short and maybe long term better suited to the back row. Joash Papalii would be the player to get but I doubt the Dogs would be that giving.
Weight: 104 kg
Height: 1.91 m

Skelton is too short?
How tall does a winger need to be?

Is he that tall? I didn't think he was. I may have confused him with someone else then as I didn't think he was that tall TBH. The other issue for mine is that he is now 24 and I honestly thought he was younger - late bloomer maybe but I would have expected him to play more first grade by now.

Do we really want to sign a development back from another club when we have our own development backs ie Talagi/ Martin If we sign anyone it should be a real throbber who already knows what he is doing in the NRL playing department.
Yep. That why I think Tupou fits the bill perfectly. Provides us quality for the next year or two whilst these younguns come through.

This is NRL FFS, not under 6s. Professional
Footballers shouldn’t need participation awards to stay motivated
It’s a reward not an incentive. It you have a spare spot on the bench why not use it? The exposure will be good for Moretti’s confidence too. Or maybe they should be confident regardless of exposure to first grade? Why even have veterans?!? They’re all first graders ffs

Blaze and Martin have yet to play against Men and I have grave doubts that Dunster will even get back to the level he was at before his ACL.

we need that 30th spot to be someone of at least the same level as our starting outside backs.


It was thin last year. We replaced Waqa with Harper
I agree. But trying to be possitive. If we have to rely on Lumelume and Cini we are analed. We need the guys I mentioned to come good fast.

I think at the right price he would be a low risk but high potential signing. On his day he is a destroyer.

Tass from South’s would be a good get.
Funny you mention Tass

Some dope of a souths fan suggested to me at the bowlo last Friday.

That souths should move Latrell to the halves with Cody while they piss young halfback Illas off.

Alex Johnson would go back to FB and Campbell Graham to wing while keeping Tass & Wighton in the centres.

I said what planet do you think Latrell is going to make 20 tackles a game. That's as dumb as anything i have seen written on here.

If they move Illas on Wighton would go to the halves. But it wouldn't solve there problem of having no organising half as Cody Walker couldn't run a pub raffle.

mate, Lume played round 1 last year did he not?

yes! ... I wish they are first graders now but the reality is they're at least half a season away imo.

He only came across from 7's and then 15's 2 years ago
