Official Connor Tracey

He reminds me of Keary a bit, obviously not size wise but just how he seems to possess a good passing and kicking game but also like to take the line on and run it.

I've thought the same. Small, quick and not afraid to take the line on. Not sure how great his kicking game is but then Keary didn't have to do any until the 2018 GF, and he'd already won a premiership by then.

Does he have the best chin in the NRL?

Forgot about Clearly. Hopefully with a few more off-seasons under his belt he can add some size to it

They've already watched the trial we ran for them against the dogs

and are onto his manager to ask for a release.....

For former Sharks ... Brett Kearney would be a good comparison IMO. Different stride but similarly explosive.

Horrible news for one , great opportunity for another

I loved Kearney, he was a very handy player

I’d like us to go with Tracey for the first 1-4 rounds as the utility.
Real pace out of dummy half is something we’ve lacked for the last couple years.

Won't happen ,
But when Brailey goes off
I'd like Tracey to half and Chad to hooker

Many of us have dreamed of Chad as a hooker

 

[snowman]

looks like he has won the race to the 14 spot

our bench will have some great utility value to it

 

[Gards]

Many of us have dreamed of Chad as a hooker

only those that want our worst defender stuck in one of the most defensively demanding positions

sounds more like a nightmare

at least he will be less likely to butcher an overlap playing in the middle

Can still chip kick from the middle though.

Tracey and Billy on the same bench? Interesting, I thought we could of gone with another big man.

Tackle stats don't really mean much, don't show poor reads.
