Is it just me or has this fella put on quite a bit of beef in the off season? Am I imagining things? I thought his defence was better last night, probably should get first crack at the centre spot but we’ll see.

I also think he's started to look like Gal... Poor bugger

That's the impression I have gotten from training photos ect but some reckon he has always looked like that. it makes sense to bulk up for the centres. yea defense seemed less of a struggle for him.

He was bit of a non factor in the trial overall, didn't get much opportunity but its gunna take some time for me to be sold that he is our best option in the centres. he's a helter skeltor panicky sorta player. mind seems to be going 1000 miles an hour, needs his body to keep up. not to mention all the basics required of a centre.

As opposed to the cool calm and collected Ronaldo Mulitalo

Nah I agree it definitely looks like he’s filled out a bit.

I wrote in another thread that he appears bigger and looks more the part out there. Hopefully he can nail it down for his and fans sake

This bloke looked like a pit bull tbh. I’m not sure I’ve seen such a high energy player before. I reckon he might shock a couple people this year

He just doesn't look like a natural pit bull to me

Still looks close to the quickest in our team. Although I enjoyed seeing Will run Naden down last night, with ease.

This bloke needs an extended run at centre. Give it to him and I reckon he’ll kill it.
If not we know for 2023 we need to go to the market for one.

In your head, rent free
or, here me out, we put ronaldo there for an extended run with ikavalu on the wing, save money and have an incredible strike centre on our books

I'm all for Ronaldo at centre too .
But , it seems Fitz loves Tracey and he'll get first crack .
Gunna be a REAL interesting year with our depth quality.
Get injured and you may well struggle to get back into the team.

This was the pairing I suggested before the trials but seems we want to go the hard way converting Connor and hoping it works out.

I get the coach wants Tracey in the team and look we all like what Tracey brings and like to see him have a role but is it gunna be worth it when we have a specialist centre/wing sitting in reserve ?
