Simpkin, Zaidas & Croker until Ashton Large is old enough in 2027. Da Silva & Pattie both good young players but Large is a better prospect than both. Starling goes alright but I don’t think he is going to push the needle anymore then a player like Simpkin
It might have been an option if Walsh was actually playing but they aren’t going to take the risk without seeing what he has. Would be nice if we got some kind of injury update on him considering how many games he has missed, don’t expect reports on all juniors but considering he’s in the top 30...
The main problem is these random crackdowns every 2-3 weeks. TKO & Pole definitely wouldn’t have got binned 1 week ago for their tackles. Also what’s annoying is when they go back to bin players it sometimes continues play from that point & other times they go back 2 sets & give the team a...
brilliant game, that short ball to set Garrick up for the 1st try was unreal too. His last step to be number 1 IMO is to get the balance of ball playing to tucking the ball & running hard correct
Fair call mate, still think there is a place in the team for a player like Jake or Josh A, Waddel was useless id prefer either of them in the team over him
I’m not a fan of him at centre but credit where it’s due he was good in attack (like usual) but more impressed with his defence. But origin? realistically you are never picking him over Latrell, Critta or Turbo in centre for origin
I’ve noticed a few people worried this length of deal could possibly block Large’s path to 1st grade, all I can say is don’t be. Large has 0 chance being a halfback in his first few seasons. For those that haven’t seen him I’d compare him more as a Fletcher Sharpe type player rather than a young...
I think the release request he made while still having 2 years on his deal was the tell he didn’t want to be at the club but I guess reality doesn’t go with your Siebold/Mestrov bashing narrative
A couple of those off contract after 2026 season? Currently with Trbojevic, Croker, Gaz all off contract we have over $3million to spend in November. Get some gun players signed asap in November & try shake some trees for the early release would be nice.
Walsh has played 2 games & missed about 10… I wouldn’t be worried about him getting pushed out, he needs to worry about getting on the park & developing. Sadly I don’t think we’ll be having spare money for decent forwards until 2027
Stats don’t look great for Fogarty there but realistically we haven’t brought him to run the ball & bust tackles. Just need him to kick great & give early ball to the star attackers we already have. Kicking & composure will be his biggest assets for us
I remember Xerri got Saab with a 1 last year which resulted in him missing our final 3 games. From memory Xerri had all his weight on the lower leg/ankle while coming down with no mitigating factors. Xerri got a 1 week suspension & was back for game 1 of finals.
I’m not saying we don’t have some similarities, I said the specific points I made in regards to social media posts & ‘bullying’ weren’t similar to our situation. If your own team mate is calling you a bully I don’t see how you could put your body on the line for them 1 week later but I guess we...
