Edge back row is a big hole for us. People suggesting Nathan Brown or Tevaga should play on the edge don’t appreciate how immobile they are lol…
The way I see it:
Genuine NRL backrowers:
Haumole
Good enough to fill in or play limited minutes in the backrow:
Burbo
Waddell
Upside but more of a “hope” than a reality:
Patolo
So if Haumole gets injured we are in big trouble!

I think Navale could be a "hope" too.
When you are starting the season looking at repurposing players or having hope then you know you are looking skinny.

Played 27 first grade games.
The few times Ive seen him he has looked pretty decent but he has had a few injuries which have held him back.
Can we agree on one thing , Jake is now too slow to be a Lock.
Fabulous defender , one of the best ( still) but he’s a prop now and should be played for the first 20 minutes & the last 20 minutes.
Do we call him Chippy or spud. Ill let myself out 🫣

We agree on a lot, don't we?
Yep, I think the backrow/lock should be a combination of Haumole Olakau'atu, Tommy Talau, Jake Arthur, Caleb Navale, Corey Waddell and if desperate Ethan Bullemor
Bullemor is a middle , he doesn’t seen to play well as an Edge, so I wouldn’t pick him there.

Yep , agree boys @Mark from Brisbane & @rmd

SIX potential landing spots for Brandon Smith
He is almost certain to leave the Roosters after the club signed Reece Robson.

These guys 🤦🏻♂️🙄 apparently we've signed a "Jamie Humphreys" from Souths to help our #9 problem 😂
Rubbish story / funny story, but I'd take Cheese with a decent AttitudeSIX potential landing spots for Brandon Smith

Yeah this Rooster dumping might just bring about an attitude change, but he'd need a paycut too though, way overpaid.

That little dopey roosters 9 might actually go alright if he comes back with some fire in his belly? He is sidelined fora long time. Is it ACL? Sometimes brain wants to buy body won't let it too. Screams as a Horsehead signing.

What utter tripe:
"The Manly Sea Eagles have spoken at times about their desire to add another dummy-half option alongside Lachlan Croker. They are starting to do just that now through Gordon Chan Kum Tong, and also signed Jamie Humphreys from the South Sydney Rabbitohs ahead of 2025, but that doesn't mean things are totally settled...

Should be included in our no d1ckhead policy....if we have one.
