Davis and Aliaoi make debuts..... Funny at our club both would struggle to get a spot in wenty's starting team.

Josh Aloai is a good player.

 

[hindy111]

Sure is but would he take Tanginoa - Nelsons or Kaysa's spot?

 

[Bigfella]

Tanginoa prob

I imagine he will play a lot more first grade than kelepi will this year.

 

[The Colonel]

Davis won't play much past when Nene McDonald returns. Josh Alioai will play at least fifteen games this year. Good kid. Disappointed we lost him.

 

[hindy111]

Why did we colonel? Surely they must of know they where not too keen on Pauli and also must of had some idea Watmough wasn't looking good?
Is the guy they swapped with Woods in the same league as Alioai?

More to do with his manager I believe. Not sure.

 

[Parra47]

Woods is a very good back rower, a solid running game and good worker in defence. Can kick goals too. Probably not ready for regular NRL this year. If he continues to improve this year in NSW Cup, we could see him play some NRL in 2017.

 

[Tommy Coco]

He did look good in limited time in the nines, actually keen to see more of him. No worse that Alioai on exposed form

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Aloiai might be top 25. I doubt a second tier offer from the Tigers would have beaten a second tier offer from us, unless they offered big match payments.

Ryan Morgan - Titans ( affective immediately )

Real shame given that he's one of our most experience outside backs on the very bare minimum ..

 

[Stagger eel]

Oh while I'm at it....

Junior Paulo - Canberra ( chocs money isn't going to save it )

 

[Suitman]

I'm cool with that.
Disappointed to lose him, very much so, but we don't need to pay Ricky Cash to keep him.

Suity

There's worse centres named in first grade this week. Nathan Davis is one of them.

Actually he might be the only one.

Shame about Junior, we will reply be a bit skinny up front next season unless we snag a decent prop.

Exactly. Just because we can afford to overpay doesn't mean we should.

How many of them are out and out prop forwards???

Mau and Scott are edge backrowers for starters, Watmough is done. Edwards is also better on the edges. You honestly think we don't need a first grade front rower if Junior goes???

You'd hope a 25 yr old veteran with 80 odd games of FG experience would offer more then a 20 yr old rookie yet to play a game.

I'd have him ahead of Chase Stanley too..
