Squad succession

[Stagger eel]

Look at the scrubs the Panthers signed just as fill in while they developed their juniors as well..

Hence why we have signed some plodders on short cheap deals...

gimme scrubs ahead of plodders anyday.

So Blaize Talagi has been removed from the list of top 30 players on NRL.com, plus his profile is missing from the club’s website. FFS O’Neill?

 

[the phantom menace]

Maybe they've transitioned, and will now be playing for our NRLW team in 2024?

If you ever watched the games you’d see he spent the second half of the season on the edges, with suits his lateral movement.

And play him at centre, wing, edge forward, the halves…

You’ll note none of these players is listed as a utility.

To be fair to Pou, the people listing Moimosea as a prop are probably the same who thought Olakauatu and Tuilagi were the same person
