I think he’s also realising how important wingers and centres are becoming considering the increasing speed of the game. Forwards have a tough enough job as it is.. wingers and centres are now expected to run for 150+ metres a game, the Penrith backs do this best and have laid the modern day blue print.I like what Gus is doing here. Signing a lot of talented fringe first graders in their mid-20's. He will eventually find a couple diamonds in the rough - ie. Preston, Edwards. But I think the underlying purpose of these signings is that it creates competition for positions in NSW cup and Ron Massey, as well as first grade, and this helps the development of young players coming through. He did the same at Penrith - Ciraldo was one of those signings funnily enough, but they're guys that will show up to training every day and give 100% and compete with the first graders hence making them better.
I'm not expecting any of these QLD signings to play first grade any time soon, but they may end up breaking through, it's a win win. Low risk, high reward.
Yeah he's a unit. Agree with you.I think he’s also realising how important wingers and centres are becoming considering the increasing speed of the game.

This QCup bloke is apparently running for 180m or so per game - massive numbers
Looking good, just has to learn how to pass to his winger.He looked pretty good in the 2 games he has played in reggies
Im sure he will develop. He will definitely add some gruntLooking good, just has to learn how to pass to his winger.
I like him a lot. He's got a great build for the centres as well. I think he looks like he's struggling a little with the conditioning, clearly needs a full pre-season but I think he's promising.He looked pretty good in the 2 games he has played in reggies
He’s being held together by tape lolI like him a lot. He's got a great build for the centres as well. I think he looks like he's struggling a little with the conditioning, clearly needs a full pre-season but I think he's promising.
Yes haha he's got those compression tights on both thighs and calves, he's struggling already haha.He’s being held together by tape lol
100%, get him a bit fitter and he could be a weaponI like him a lot. He's got a great build for the centres as well. I think he looks like he's struggling a little with the conditioning, clearly needs a full pre-season but I think he's promising.
