So thats a "not interested" from you,
and that's fair.
Didn't say I wasn't interested, just that I didn't think it was
interesting.
Let me ask you something,
come 2026 will you be "interested" in watching DA run out for The Stains?
That's not asking your opinion if he'll go OK, or not,
but, are you "interested"?
I'll have a passing curiosity, if only to keep an eye my chances of scoring a steak with mushroom sauce.
I only ask because if you read The Stains forum the majority think they've wrapped up Jesus, Mary and Joseph all for the paltry $550K.....
I'll confess I do pop in over there from time to time to read some of their thoughts.
I always come away dumbfounded at the hype they're placing on him.
Do you think it'll be "interesting" as to see how DA will bring the great Dargons up from below mediocrity, to the Premiership winner they think he is....?
It will be interesting
if and
when he can do it.
I'm backing he can't and won't.
All I know is, he aint the James Maloney the Flange thinks he can reproduce.
Not by a long shot.
What I do find interesting with the trial squad are some of the selections, in light of some of the comments Fitzy made on the Shark Cast.
I'm paraphrasing but, when asked about his theory on players reaching 100 games, he said:
"By the time guys get to 100 games you have a good idea of where they're at. Is there still room for improvement? Or have they reached their potential? Should we hold? Or move them on?"
I think the selections of WK, Katoa and BHU all fall into this category.
Compare the team to
last year's first trial team and there's not as many NRL players listed.
Some getting a run after injury, but mostly it's the lower grade guys.
Interestingly enough, Katoa played that as well.
BHU might be getting a run for fitness, but I think he's being closely watched.
The other thing Fitzy said on the subject was something like "some guys burst onto the scene, get hyped up on the back of a few standout performances, but never really take it to the next level."
This, for me, is The Next Immortal.
