We'll miss Hoppa at the back if he doesn't play there but Meaney's got some ball play in him don't worry about that.
I have a real good feeling about Meaney... just comes across as a kid who is willing to learn, willing to put in work and keen.. watching him play at the Knights he was bobbing up all over the field, keen to get his hands on the ball... had a few good moments.. keen to see what he will bring under Pay and co

Then he shouldn’t start. I’ll never forget that Raiders game and his turnstile defence in the next 3 games.
I'll give him a go considering we have no one else but a backrower to play centre. We are definitely up shit creek when teams are running hard lines at Foran and Holland.


We should be chasing a top class centre.

His game is very much Patten like.

His always been a turnstile, always gets injured and is extremely inconsistent.

Way too much emphasis is being put onto Holland considering he's the best centre we have right now and we don't even know who will be playing on the opposite side lol

Hoppa to left centre as Holland won't adapt to the left side.
Should combine well with Crichten, am I crazy?

Hopefully we can get a better idea from the form shown in the trials. If we recruit another player prior to kickoff I think it will be a really promising youngster looking to leapfrog himself into an Nrl slot. I think the club is planning things for long term success rather than splashing their cash on a panic buy.

Who watched the Jayden Okunbor video. The bloke said he is talking to hoppa a lot because he is an outside back. This means that Meaney will start fullback Andy hoppa will play centre

I reckon Jayden Okunbor will definitely start the season as our left winger. While Remis Smith will be our right winger.

Thats 2 big tall strong fast wingers.

I agree but dont kill me this doesn’t excite me !!!

I don’t want a pattern type fullback
Patten was a pretty good FB. Wasn't really the safest but could always bop up and create something from nothing.

Unlikely. Physically he can handle it but he still has a long way to go and needs to work on the basics.
