Agreed

He hasn’t really improved at all if you watched him play 2 years ago and watched him now you couldn’t tell the difference.

Don't know what the future is for Hoppa? Played great at fullback but we need more speed there. I'd give Meaney first crack at FB (but I like the idea of Smith having a go too). I can see Harper stepping up to FG next year, and I reckon Olive is a better centre than Hoppa too. Maybe Hoppa's someone we could move on and make a bit of cap space?

I like him, and Pay will probably pick him (FB or Centre), but I don't see where he fits in our top team.

He’s the best FB we have by unmeasurable amounts. I don’t quite know how people fail to see the level of skill and impact this guy has. It’s the same old story with the Morris boys. People bag them for being over the hill and old, yet they were without a doubt two of the best and most impactful players we had (particularly during our hot run).

Agree. I'm not a fan and i thought he was overrated in the 20s. As far as i know he hasnt been resigned. Has anyone heard anything???

 

[Mr Invisible]

Speed is only one factor. Look at James Roberts... rather average towards the end of the season.

Hoppa ball plays and has great support work. We just need other players backing him up if he makes a break into the back field.

 

[Trafford10]

If Lichaa remains starting 9, we struggle again next season.
Looks like the nightmare is set to continue.

 

[wendog33]

Totally agree. He suffered also because he wasn't in the top 30 so couldn't be played

Even more perplexing because we only used 29 players the whole year.

 

[Novocastrian]

Crighton doesn’t impress me at all. He will be back up in reggies for sure

Strong runner of the ball. Makes ok metres. My concern is he’s small size under the high ball

 

[Blue&whiteAxe]

CHN goes well. Doesn’t make many metres but is skilful

Does anyone know if Cerutto & Cleeland have re-signed yet?

My pick of the players signed so far is CHN, I think he would make a very good centre as well.

 

[Hot Dog]

Well one would hope that's the case seeing as he is the only signing who wasn't signed on minimum wage. I think some people keep forgetting that all.our other signings have been minimum wage.

I also think Crighton looked very good tonight. Solid u der the high ball for a shorter winger, strong running out of trouble, good in defence, and has enough speed to finish a try.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Morgan Harper re-signed on a development contract. His management posted about it today.

Close but no cigar IMO. I too would love to see Ceruto given a crack in FG

He is the best fullback we have by immeasurable amounts. But he is a journeyman fullback. It doesnt say much for most of the others as a fullback.
He lacks speed, his positional play is second rate, and his defence is suspect. Meaney must be given first go at fullback without doubt.
I think his huge pay packet could be better utilised somewhere else.
