He’s the type of player who needs to go to the storm and get some tough love from Bellamy. I’m not sure if he’d buy in with us

Don’t mind Twal but he’s very similar in size and output to Max King. IMO we’re really lacking that big bodied powerhouse middle forward, Twal, King, Knight, Thompson, Waddell, Edwards, Sutton are all fairly similar body type.

How big is Wilson? Can’t seem to find listed height and weight anywhere. He looks abit undersized but it might just be me making a subconscious judgement because he’s a white kid who wears a headgear

The knights have signed 2 young English lads for next season, it’ll be interesting to see how they go and whether going down that young Englishmen route is a good pathway

To be fair Dom Young has scored about a thousand tries on that right edge even though Ponga has been attacking predominantly down the left. Ponga is the main man for sure but everyone plays their role, the second game against us Ponga barely touched the ball and they put 40 on us without much fuss

I like Morrin and really hoped they train him up as a back up hooker and add some versatility to his game as he’s not really big enough to be a full time middle IMO but considering we’ve signed 300 utilities already it’s hard to see where he fits in.

As you said good pack, their backline is probably one of the best in the comp when you factor in how good they all are in the yardage department. Their spine on paper isn’t fantastic outside Ponga but Hastings, Gamble and Crossland are all competitors and play the parts to a tee, when Ponga...

Elliott is playing finals footy 2 years in a row for 2 different teams who had failed to make the 8 the year prior wtf is the world coming to

To be fair Mann destroyed us so Ciro is probably impressed that someone managed to dismantle his genius defensive scheme and wants to know how he did it

They probably don’t have the high end silky skills of say Brisbane or the overall consistency of Penrith but in terms of yardage, tackle breaks and those areas they’re elite. What I like is they all have different body shapes and different strengths.

How big is Morrin? Never seen any listed measurements but he looks quite short and nuggety

Whatever you think of Freddy as a coach I think he’s more than qualified to comment on this discussion considering he was started his career as a centre and finished as a 5/8th, he also won premierships and played for Australia in both positions so I don’t think there are many people who...

Burton is a centre with a kicking game. I’ve said this about Burton previously and I think it still holds true, he’s a very predictable player because he has two strengths in his game that are light years ahead of the other parts of his game and that is his bomb and his left foot step, the...

Yep, for a guy with his size and power he doesn’t break nearly as manly tackles as he should. In 10 games he’s broken 9 tackles, by comparison Tino has broken 31 tackles in 13 games. Early in his broncos career when he actually used to run hard he was breaking between 50-60 tackles per season.

Tino won’t come, he left the storm and signed with the titans to be closer to his family and those family ties have only strengthen with his brother there as well now, add to that we’re in no better position than the titans in terms of where we are ladderwise and how much we could offer him
