We should enquire about Mo Fotuaika, helps them clear more salary for Tino and we can give them Kaufusi and Hunt. He’s 23 with 117 nrl games and 6 origin appearances

I’d like Mo but I reckon the Titans love him and he loves it there, might be a hard sell for him to move down here and for Hunt and Kaufusi to pack up and head up north when they both have contracts and are being used by Fitz consistently, they’d be well within their rights to dig their heels in.

With Nicho looking lost at times, and Finucane injured for the year
Maybe we should give McInnes the captains armband - he is the very definition of a man who leads from the front.
Could help ease a bit of pressure from Nicho too

I would like to see that.

nicho seems like he doesnt handle adversity well

got dropped from origin and hasnt found his form, so i doubt stripping the captaincy off him will somehow level him up again

Not saying I'm against it but he needed a lot of supports to get him through a year where everything was pretty sweet.

Wasn't Graham captain on the w/e?

Shame Sezer is going to the Tigers. Think Nicho could do with a Jeff Robson esque calming influence next to him.

he hasnt been great, put it that way

he was a big reason we made the grand final last year, and him getting concussed meant we had no chance of winning it

but this year he has been average

Just finished playing golf with a fellow who has contacts within the Sharks ranks. Not a done deal but he reckons a straight swap is brewing between Sam Walker and Trindall.

Cant see it happening, unless Roosters are done with Walker and want to free up cap space and use Trindall as a back up half or see if he has starter potential.

Still can't see it happening. Wouldn't be against it but we still need to fix our forwards issue.

Maybe co-captains?
Not ideal but helps in this situation with Nicho

Wade was captain on the weekend, we gunna promote Nicho to captain to reduce the pressure on him?

But between Cam and Wade I don't think Nicho needs to be sole captain again at any stage.
Definitely doesn't need to go into press room after with coach (whenever that starts again) as he takes losses/his own mistakes hard and probably would prefer the space.

I was replying to snow’s post which suggested that Nicho was captain and that it might have a bad effect on him if “stripped” from him

Fair enough
At this stage he already wasn't captain so it was kind of null point anyway

But like you mentioned going forward (for immediate future at least) co-captain at most is probably the go

Sam Walker = new OWB.

Big average.

This from Gun other forum when asked about Walker rumour

I've heard nothing on Halves or backs. Just we are looking for forwards and looking for clubs to take some of our players

Thresher · Jul 31, 2023

Walker looked feeble in a team with a good forward pack and protection from the likes of JWH.

He'd shiver in fright if he was told that it was Kaufusi's job to go hunting anyone who treated him rough.
