Our pack is good for 10 years if we add another big intimidating prop. Nikora and Teig are set for years. Williams is a 13 for a long time. Hamlin-Uele is a solid starter. Toby isn't up to it as a serious player. He's all LGBTI+Q but not a great footy player. We need a couple of big angry bodies in the middle. Backs are sensational. Swap Moylan for Trindall and get Ironinbas Talakai replacement and we are set.
So Toby's too good a person to be a good footy player?

I don't buy it.

Agree that we need a bit more anger in the pack but Toby is a serious player, one of our best forwards - he gets through a stack of work and his go forward has been pretty good since last season

End of 2021 I wasn't as fussed about him after showing early promise but he has improved significantly since then

Being LGBTI+Q or promoting certain causes doesn't make you individually a good person, that's a weird comment but on point for the assumptions made and optics of the 2020's

In Toby's case he just so happens to be a decent, happy go lucky stand up sorta fella. As long as he's not forcing blokes to wear jerseys (or wearing no jersey haha) I could give 2 shits less about his sexuality - let his footy do the talking

Sticking his neck out and being prepared to cop flack in order to do his best to help other people feel better about themselves is a reflection of him being a good person.

It's not what makes him a good person, it's the sort of thing that good people sometimes do.

I don't see what's weird about this as a comment.

I could have left the reference of LGBT out but my point was that he is a hard worker but too small/light to be a serious prop. And McInnes is a gutsy player but what 90kg? and 5 foot 9?

Nothing wrong with Toby but he should probably be your fourth best prop, maybe third.

Agree with both these last player references. Love the way both play ( although crucial errors from each on Sat) however its True imho. They are being manufactured somewhat, into playing positions on Field, in comparison to most of their opposites, in other teams

You reckon those are mutually exclusive? The LGBTI+Q community can get pretty angry.

Edit: just ignore me... this train already left the station..!

Well….****.


Former Sharks coach John Morris came back to haunt his old club at the weekend - and he could be set to inflict even more misery.
As assistant coach of South Sydney, Morris played a key role in constructing the game plan for the Rabbitohs' fine win over Cronulla on Saturday night.
Now he shapes as a vital figure in the battle for rising Sharks backrower Teig Wilton.

At least half a dozen clubs, including premiers Penrith, are believed to be interested in Wilton.

But Morris just happens to be Wilton's uncle and that relationship will give the Rabbitohs a massive edge in the fight for his services.

Cronulla has already begun talks to extend Wilton but with so much interest from rival clubs, the wide-running forward is likely to hold off making a decision anytime soon and bank on his price rising.
The Rabbitohs see Wilton as an ideal runner on the left edge outside Cody Walker and are set to make a big play for the robust forward.

Walker will be 34 at the start of next season, don't think Teig would be running off him for long.

Anyway I think most of us want to keep him but not sure we want to get into a massive bidding war and pay silly money.

And how long is Morris going to stay at the Bunnies for. He’ll put if he’s not already hit hat in the ring for a HC gig elsewhere.

So now no Walker and no Morris at Souths.

I think he’ll stay

I can't imagine him staying, unless our offer is super-competitive, or out of loyalty to team/coach. He was good sticking out his contract, but I reckon his mum and his family would be telling him to treat us the same way we treated John Morris.

I'd be surprised if our offer wasn't competitive - especially if he's comparing against Penrith or Souths. He could probably go to the Dragons or Newcastle for more money, but then he'd had to play for the Dragons or Newcastle.

Teig is a good player, but not a pay overs player.

If he leaves, Talakai takes his spot, we get a specialist centre.
