I’m backing Latu Fainu to have a breakout season & cement his position in the team at 5/8.He has the attributes the coach will be familiar with & who will take great delight in helping reach his full potential.
Sounds good Ted, are we there yet?

Maybe why Nofo, wasn’t a priority any longer?

Think Nofa was gone regardless. We've got a very interesting groups of outside backs. Some guys who have a heap of talent but still very raw. Im really keen to watch Alaimolo and Faataape in the trails

On another note I read somewhere that apparently Seyfarth is the likely 13, could be crap but again a wait and see for the trials.

Whether or not Seyfarth is a Lock depends on his ability to provide an extra ball-carrying option, make tackles, and offer support to the halves and outside backs. He'll have to do more than just block plays/dummy runs and argy bargy stuff. Usually locks are very much like a solid ½, an example is Cameron Murray.
I think Seyfarth is more suited to crash balls, off the hip.

I know someone who was told by someone that Naden will be the next 'cab off the rank' in regards to being shown the door, apparently some of the 'new football heads' see him as surplus to requirements.

Can't say I'm surprised, does go 'missing' and for a guy of his size he has under achieved but perhaps it would help if he just decided on being a winger, might help, who knows.

But the someone who knows someone could just be a someone who knows no one and nothing.

Yeah, he was disappointing last year and the club now has depth to not take any shit from the players.

Either that or Benji is making sure he's only got blokes around that he wants. The end of this year might end up looking like the end of Potter's first year when blokes like Matt Utai, Joel Reddy, Blake Ayshford, Sean Meaney and a 34 year old Lote Tuqiri being moved on after giving more game time to Tim Simona and a debutant 19 year old winger, David Nofoaluma.

Does anyone know if our forum had an NRL Fantasy Coach comp going last year?

Can anyone ID the guy on our right of Bateman? He is huge.

Can’t afford to have players messing up the big moments..that’s Naden. And with not just small errors either
