You don't rate Mitchell? Surprising.
I'm surprised as well cause if Mitchell isn't a better player than Keating.....

I'm amused at those selecting Loko.
No, really, I am.

Why ?
Loko will be the best back we have produced since Hayne.

No doubts there but we can't rush him.
Hayne was a freak it his age. Still is a freak. But Loko is more a power type player, it will take him more time IMO.

Twice as fast as Williams.Tony Williams revisited perhaps?

I'd take Tony Williams back in a heartbeat tbh.
I think Williams has all the physical attributes to be very good but lacks a few things
1. He doesn't have the brain for the NRL. Watch him play, always comes inside, doesn't run at the gaps and too often is found in the wrong position.
2. He lacks the effort, only ever runs half pace and doesn't do the little things required.
For these reasons he isnt ever going to be more than an average NRL player and I would prefer a Reddy over Williams every day of the week.
He may well do buddy, but I'm not holding any hope or positive vibes re this signing.
Big step from ESL to NRL. Plus, he'll be playing outside the same halves pairing (initially) that screwed our backline this year.
I'm just breathing deeply and staying calm at this stage with no expectations of anyone.
I have only hope that our new coach will get the best out of the old hacks that we have purchased. The potential is there. The proof will be in the Christmas Pudding.
Suity
Why not?
The only people talking him up are those on here.
Not denying that he has potential, because I know he has, But fair dinkum, I ain't picking him in the top grade yet.
If SK decides he's worth a chance.......so be it. I'll trust his judgement.

1. He's a back-rower. Why they keep playing him on the wing is beyond me tbh.
2. Coaching issue IMO. We were this close to signing him, and he was keen. Then it all went to crap.
I don't think we need him - we have depth in the back-row and even wingers. But I'd still love to have him back. We are yet to see the best of the big man.
