Official Teig Wilton

[Sir Chadley]

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

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

Like who?

 

[Milkshark]

Like who?

Not for me to figure out. Recruit within or look elsewhere.

 

[snowman]

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.

cant see that happening, id say we know wide running second rowers of his calibre and potential are few and far between these days

we'll pay him to stay

 

[Jaz]

Cheaper to retain a star than attract a new one. I'm confident whatever Fitz is happy to pay Teig will be money well spent.

We have players who can play centre (Iro, Tracey, Ikuvalu, Atkinson, Hiroti, Mulitalo).
A player to fight Talakai for the edge jersey is what I’d say we need (if they win have option to leave him at centre too)

 

[Sutty]

Teig is at that sweet spot where he isn't quite Origin level yet but is just that tier slightly below. Just looking at who played left edge last week, the only ahead in class would be Kikau and Papali'i imho.

papali'i was a lump of **** for the tigers, kikau was no better

 

[Gumby]

He’ll stay imo

It's only round 1, I was talking over a period of time etc.

Teig Wilton hopeful of Cronulla Sharks extension as rival NRL clubs circle

Teig Wilton has revealed he is hopeful of remaining at Cronulla long-term, despite growing interest from rival NRL clubs to secure the second-rower for 2024.

Fwiw.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Wilton has usurped former skipper Wade Graham for the starting edge role in the Shire and is expected to push for a State of Origin berth with NSW later this year.

I love Teig but he's not ready for SOO yet imo.....round two and they're talking about fucking SOO already.

The only person liking this will be @Born&bred

Sounds like his contract is

I haven't really thought about this but there'd have to be half a dozen NSW backrowers who would be walk up starts before his name would be considered, surely

name half a dozen left edge backrowers

i have him either starting or on the bench

Just thinking out who could be there non side specific:

Murray
Martin
Olakauatu?
Koloamatangi?
Lane
Wilton

Given how freddy doesn't usually shy away from picking guys out of position, i'd think Murray and Martin start. Are Ola or Koala eligible? Otherwise Lane is the only one I could see getting in the way, and that is only if he can return to his end of season form quickly after this injury. He's way closer than I had considered.

 

[snowman]

i cant see him starting murray and martin as both are right side players, but i hope to hell he does

koloamatangi is another right side player

matterson may be a shout but he is a nonce

Hudson Young another

I think Freddie would have a good hard look at all of them for a left edge spot before Wilton if he was picking an Origin team tomorrow. (Well, okay, not Lane, but he does beat him for the jersey currently if healthy).
Pretty sure Martin has played left when Kikau off.

Think both Ola and Koloa are eligible as haven't played for first teir internationals.
Think Ola opted himself out last year to concentrate on Internationals

For some reason I thought Young was a pom. I guess it's just the factor of being a second rower playing for Canberra.
Young is also a right edge player, but I agree, I think Freddy would look at all of them before Teig at this stage. He generally finds players he likes and finds a spot for them somewhere. Rather than being position/side specific.

Murray could play anywhere on the field and be outstanding ..

You could play Yeo at 13, Martin left and Murray right and put a Young or Ola on the bench to throw on either side for a bit.
That's if Lane wasn't available as a very competent left edge starter.

Kind of weird how many NSW eligible edges are right side players at club level though...
