Josh KerrSurely you can't go into a season with either Billy Burns or Tyrell Fuimaono as your starting left second rower in a first grade team. Surely...right?

We doHopefully everyone here and elsewhere notes the Lomax Amone scuffle as the non news it is. Most big standard footy team event that happens all the time when you have jacked up blokes constantly hitting each other at training
Moses Suli to left side second Row.At this stage I'd say shoot out between Fui and Burns, with Kerr hoping for a bench spot, probably as middle. However I would say that this is the spot they are trying hardest to fill, so could still see some movement before the season starts.
As bad as we played last year Suli was one of our very few good players SO why move him ????Moses Suli to left side second Row.
Matt Feagai to left centre
Tyrell Sloan to left wing
Any coach of first grade standard would easily recognise Suli’s inefficiencies as a centre. If he can’t play out the 80minutes in S Row , then bring on one of the young blokes like Ryan Couchman off the bench.
Matt Feagai was probably our most improved player in 2022 and needs to see more ball in hand.
These are the sort of changes required to take us to the next level , but it remains to be seen if Hook has the foresight to make it happen.
My thinking too. Kerr was on the outer last year but not moved on so must be a possible. Burns seems to be well regarded by Hook. Still time to recruitAt this stage I'd say shoot out between Fui and Burns, with Kerr hoping for a bench spot, probably as middle. However I would say that this is the spot they are trying hardest to fill, so could still see some movement before the season starts.
Suli will be much better now in his natural right centre spot and Zac fine playing left.As bad as we played last year Suli was one of our very few good players SO why move him ????

Got A lot of problems on our side IM but Suli isn’t one of them.Suli is the prime target for every coach when playing Saints. Gets burned on the outside almost every week. Can’t pass to save his life. If we want to change the outcome of our position on the ladder then changes like this must happen.
Otherwise expect the same result

If Ramsey has completely recovered from his illness then he would be the better of the two for the fullback role .1. Sloan

Completely agree Shiloh , usually there is a player of note that is a chance of going up to Wollongong , but as you have said this off season no one .This is the most depressing off season I can remember in nearly 50 years. Terrible recruiting, constant hammering by press (most with agendas) and the realisation there doesn't appear much on the horizon. One or two key injuries and we will fall into the dungeon of the abyss we care currently in. Honestly, I cannot recall an announcement or read a post since 2011 where i've felt the club is going forward and is in good hands. I think it was around 2011 where the salary cap rose significantly. That has contributed to the mess we're in today as the Board is under-resourced and cannot compete with other cashed-up creative boards/owners.
Des Hasler had Morgan Harper and Brad Parker ahead of Suli at Manly for good reason , and Neither Harper or Parker are what you would call Gun centres.
If the Dragons call on Hasler to replace Hook you can bet on Suli getting punted or at least moved to back row.
Suli is not the primary target, he actually substantially improved his defence last year which was impressive and made the right decision on almost every occasion. We saw in the trials he can pass, he either didn't want to last year or was told to just run and at times might have overdone it. Lomax is the target for oppositions, can be a clueless defender.Des Hasler had Morgan Harper and Brad Parker ahead of Suli at Manly for good reason , and Neither Harper or Parker are what you would call Gun centres.
