Boy is looking trim again. When we signed him he looked jacked. Just huge bulk and muscle all over. Looks like he’s lost a lot of that and is looking very trim and fit.
I honestly never expected him to come back so lean and he still has 7 months before he rejoins our nrl squad where you think his full time training will transform his body again. Getting exciting to see. I thought he would need 6-12 months in Reggies to get used to the contact and the speed and fitness ready etc. could be 6-12 weeks be the look of him in the weedler interview

With Xerri’s pace surely we put him on the wing? JAC on one side BX on the other.

For 2024 yeah but by 2025 ideally, I’d like to see one of Xerri/Alamoti (leaning towards Alamoti) shifting to the front row, moving Critta to centre and Papali’i to fullback. Wonder where Skelton could fit in? Also I’d keep one of Averillo/Perham as a utility/backs cover for bench but not sure if they would accept that.
Apparently in a recent interview Xerri says he hates having to catch bombs. Not something he enjoys doing or excels at.
If he is unselfish with the ball and can draw and set up his winger he’d make a great centre again. If he comes from the school of schoupp then his winger will be starved of early ball.

train Skelton for backrow and he becomes a weapon too covering wing / centre / backrow from the bench!

He had shocking hands when he was playing so it makes sense he wants to be no where near bombs

He was so good at centre last time round so you’d give him a chance there first. He’d work so well next to both JAC and Kiraz

Will he play on the right edge? He prefers the left edge, Alamoti prefers the right edge. I'm not sure why we would keep them on their least dominant edges for an extended period of time. Anyway I'd be shocked if Xerri walked into the round 1 team, 4 years out of league is a very long time.
