Sharks medical report says he is back training with the main squad so hopefully isn't too far away. The way we are going we might need him and he is probably the best of our outside back depth

“consistency and ticker”
definitely need this but from the entire 17 week in week out.
Fitz needs to find something that installs this into all of our playing group and fast.
2 from 5 is not great especially when you look at who we have and how we have lost to.

Not great at all
While we have done a lot of it to ourselves, and have let these people play this way, our opposition have been up for it against us
Ilias played the game of his life
Horsbrough too, and somehow plays 65 mins against us then 38 and 32. (Haven’t had their halves since either)
SJ played one of his best games of last 4+ years to get revenge on us for… looking after him when warriors ditched him.
Need to get our act together and stop letting these guys play like world beaters against us because we walk them up to our tryline

I agree mate but only if we had a gun centre. Unfortunately we don’t.
I know Iro has some defensive issues but I’d give him a crack. See how he handles it.

Looks a genuine winger only to my eye …

Yes Ikuvalu is a centre/wing and I think he has played the odd game in the centres for us - was decent, hes a strong player
We start every season like this, losing to physically dominant teams, dropping easier games we shouldn't and belting the Dragons to paint over the cracks

He is 6 foot and 100kg so could maybe make a good centre
We have Iro coming through the ranks and Stonestreet who could go to wing for Ronnie to go to centre as options but I’m still Okay with Sifa out there at the moment.
Another injury or 2 in the forwards might force our hand thou

mate, stop this nonsense
you were in here calling for brad parker the other week who is utter **** and now you want matt ikavalu to replace talakai?
in terms of centres, he leads the league in meters and try assists, he is equal second in the entire ****ing league
the defensive issues aren't his, they are coming from moylan, which hurts teig, which hurts him
dont look to replace talakai, leave him where he is killing it
look to fix the blokes playing next to him

Said I want him to play Centre for the jets to see how he goes in that position.
Why is Parker ****? Averages 100metres a game, 88% tackle efficiency over this career.
Can’t have a team full of superstars, we ain’t the roosters mate.

i dont get why you would want to make the centre position worse by moving guy who is clearly a better centre than parker to the bench, for a bloke who wwont even catch a ball but preferred to volley it back to penrith
Im still annoyed how we didnt put pressure on him after he kicked and eventually regathered (after Ronaldo dropped ball).
He shouldn't have made it anywhere near the ball.

Yeah Parker is trash. I agree you can't have a star everywhere, but you don't move a decent player for a bang average one. If Fitz was going down that line you'd fire him into the sun.
