Opinion Ryan Sutton

Hmmm [emoji848] now let me think about this shit team next year. Add Mahoney & Kikau to the decent recruits for this year(JAC, Burton & TPJ) plus no JMK or Dufty next year, Kiraz with half a season under his belt, an older and stronger Alamoti who maybe ready to play FG not to mention how many more plodders Gus will cut lose and may recruit more for next year. It may not be a “shit” team next year after all.

If Mahoney and Kikau can help us score just another couple of tries each game AND we can improve our defence we should get up to around 8th to 12th at least

A Good pickup ..

Better than Thompson and would be on slightly more than 1/3 of the price. Same with Max King really. Gus fixing our cap slowly...

Mahoney's service and decison making from dummy half is elite and Kikau's the best strike back rower in the competition currently and the best decoy (depending how and when you use him). Them 2 alone in theory should be at least another 2 tries a game... The best thing about both of them is they make players around them better. Also on Kikau usually half's make second rowers look better than what they're but I actually think Kikau makes Luai look better which is actually insane when you think about it.

Someone in commentary mentioned Sutton played 2nd row until he joined the Raiders.

Kikau is our modern day Frank the tank.

Potentially even better. How good is that ?
