Fair call for sure. Was more meaning starting lineup however dont forget King missed out so our bench was weaker.

Kelly, Tanginoa, Gosiewski and lane are all off contract also. I believe we may struggle to keep Kelly if money is his motivator. I’m not completely sold on Kelly just yet though. We desperately need another Taupau type front rower, I’m hoping paseka can lift for the challenge. Townsend, carney and Sezer are the only answers in the halves we could recruit that I can think of

Taupau and Tommy (wing) might. In form Walker would push it. This side isn't stacked, although one thing I know is that when they're on, they're nearly unbeatable.

I agree with you on the prop point, AFB to me is a bench forward, with him and Paseka on the bench we can have impact for the majority of the match. For the prop I'd be targeting Canberra, Soliola, Papalii, Boyd or Paulo.

Afb isn’t a bench forward. He’s a very young forward (he’s only 22). He played an entire half the other day. Not many front rowers his size can do that. They say a front rower hits their peak at 26-27. His potential is enormous. He’s needs time and faith kept in him. We have a very young team and I think sometimes people forget that
This is the problem with releasing players and then paying some of the wages. We were the beneficiary with Siro and Uate which meant the tigers and knights respectively would have been carrying both in their top 25 caps simultaneously while we also did, that is why both those clubs have been constrained by cap issues the last couple of years. Now we are stuck with Myles in our Top 30 and Lussick also giving both are part of that top 30 earners group even though both are no longer with us. Its why good cap management is crucial.

His laziness, poor discipline and slack in defence tell me otherwise.

Why do people want moses suli? Hes lazy, why not give t.wright, anderson or funa a go instead? I saw john folau in our workers team as well.

Really not sold on lane and especially perret. Lane has upped his game but perret just seems like the standard gives-little but penalties prop that has hurt manly in the past.
Suli still has a long way to go to be NRL ready. He definitely isn't the answer at this point, he was the second worst in the NRL for centres last year with 1.33 try causes a game. He had another 2 try causes on the weekend for Blacktown. Give him the rest of the year in Blacktown and see how he goes.

Hence the comment I made about his age. He needs time and patience. At least he’s not a grub like Fifita. When afb is on he gives us huge go forward. The age part is about developing the maturity and consistency in his game.

Dead weight nate still dragging us down... WORST SIGNING EVER

I think he is more effective on the bench. I remember a game he played for us against the Cowboys. He came on and scored 2 tries just destroying the middle.

AFB is averaging 1.7 missed tackles per game this year so his D is not really that slack and his discipline is not as bad as Jake T's and I don't see laziness at all. I think AFB needs to be the starting prop and will only get better with experience (god help the other teams).
So looking at some of the forwards stats;
Tackles
Jake T - 38.5 tackles per game
Joel Thompson - 24.2 tackles per game
Kapow - 20.5 tackles per game
AFB - 19.8 tackles per game
Missed tackles
Joel Thompson - 2.2 missed tackles per game
AFB - 1.7 missed tackles per game
Kapow - 1.7 missed tackles per game
Jake T - 1.5 missed tackles per game
Perrett - 1.6 missed tackles per game
Siro - 1.5 missed tackles per game
Lane - 0.8 missed tackles per game
Poor discipline averages (penalties);
Jake T - 1.5 penalties per game
AFB - 1 penalty per game
Kapow - 0.7 penalties per game
Poor discipline averages (errors)
Kapow - 0.7 errors per game
AFB - 0.5 errors per game
Runs
Kapow - 143 run metres per game
AFB - 124 run metres per game
Holmsey
Bencher
Watch the Tigers game, he was poor and his Laziness cost us the first half with the penalties and soft attempts in defence through the middle. He is a bench prop.
Sorry but couldn’t resist this mate!
If the NRL learn to count will you learn to spell?
Is it passed or past? Haha
