Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

Highlights packages only show 1 side of the players game which is there potential and ceiling.

You type in Waqa Blake on youtube and you get 3-4 min clips of him in space and scoring tries.

You don't see the 5-10 min video clips of all the dumb errors he made and the weakness in his game.

Stop ranting FFS!!

Spot on but!
He's young, huge, fearless and fast. A great place to start. We definitely lack edge forwards of the Kikau variety.

Well he got a dev contract ahead of Jock Brazel. So there's that.

Waqa has caused me a lot emotional stress with his heart in mouth stuff over the years.

I need to vent FFS

I hope he kills it.

We seem to have a good track record with Fijian recruits previously.

Ryles will sort him out.

Niukore?

Dylan Brown in Darwin against Cowboys - Round 8, 2022

Todd Payten fainted in the coaches box up there in the heat in shock at what they were up against.

Definitely agree it will be tough, especially at the beginning.

However PNG has a population of nearly 10 million or so. That's a huge catchment area. The biggest in the NRL.

If the right development systems are put in place (and I think that's where a lot of the money is meant to go), after 8-10 or so years, they should be fairly self sufficient and not need to be recruiting a lot of players. Even having a player surplus for the rest of the NRL.

It will be f**king cool if it works out this way.

That’s why there called highlights, I assume?
