I reckon Toby can be that guy for us next year. These last few weeks he’s seemed a bit more Argo than usual. His try last week had me screaming Clive. I think he’ll rise with Fifita and Tolman leaving.

Must be an Affleck fan

We should sign Nathan brown from parra. Offers that experience and a bit of aggression our pack packs

Klemmer.

Klemmer has come out and said he won’t leave Newcastle and he wants to extend.

Do we all think it was AOB who is the unnamed coach reportedly such a **** on Mad Monday the boys wanted to flog them

First bloke I thought of - his performance at Broadmeadow earlier this year shows he has the form ..

 

[CHOGM]

I think we largely have the personal, but positionally we need to adjust imo.

9 Brailey/Mciness
13 Wade/talakai/Williams/McInnes
8/10 Finucane/BHU/Hunt/Rudolph/Kaufasi/
Williams/Talakai

That’s 10 guys filling 7-8 positions each week.

Injury and form determines who plays, but the main point is Talakai/Wade and Williams play in the middle, and Nikora and Teig are the edges when fit all the time.

Talakai gives us offloading in the middle , and Williams PTB speed. Hunt too could easily develop his offload game, he’s almost there.

In my opinion the main thing we need is a strong left centre. Maybe it could be Iro, I don’t know.

I rate him but I don't think he really fits us, we need more size in a starting prop. Amazed that someone else hasn't picked him up yet. Has quick line speed, never lets a quick play the ball. It's so handy to have a guy like him with everyone playing smaller locks.

I don’t hate it ..

Nathan Brown would just add to our players on the decline.

He's had his time but smallish impact forwards have an earlier use by date.

Sounds like a message to prospective teams that he'd like them to up their offer.

30 years old next year. Still got 3 good years left in him imo. He wouldn’t cost much so it’s a no brainer for me. Him and Mcinness coming off the bench for us would be brilliant.

Smaller impact forwards burn out earlier.

The thing that works for them is 110% aggressive intensity, which gives you a good roll on in attack.

Once life drags them back to 100% or lower they are of little use.

It’s hard to tell if his impact has waned as he hasn’t had a game in 2 months ..

Will prove a good pick up for someone IMO..

Could be a Bellamy type ..

Good luck to him somewhere else.

We already have enough guys that are smaller or the bench.

Big pass, has been declining the past year or two.

Don’t think there is any more info than I wrote

Yep, he's a run off the back of the fence guy.

And the reason he's a run off the back of the fence guy is that he has very little more to offer.
