Can I just say, I understand people / fans buy into their teams players, i get that. But on the same token, Bailey Simmonsson is a basic first grader that isn't going to win you games too often. Steady, does a job for sure, but a strike weapon, a strike centre or winger he is not. Good luck to him and thankyou for your service. Lets buy some real talented players that can win premierships, not just compete for the bottom 8.
Very true. The club took at leap of faith with him and signed him on a 3 year deal despite doing his ACL. I remember before his ACL cowboys was the team chasing him. Apparently now he toured Titans facilities. I know his wife works in the media. Is she based in qld? Perhaps why he wants to go north. Cause surely Titans is not a convincing team you would want to join to win a comp. But as you said, other than his yardage work, there is nothing elite about Bailey. He is highly replaceable. I would use him to push for Jojo or David Fifita. Even as a part of deal for Tino if he truely wants out. We are in a rebuild and he is not a crucial part of the club. Adios. Want players that want to be here
I really hope we reconsider Lomax as a centre. He can sit up his winger with his ability to offload with multiple players in the tackle. He has that strike to beat a defender with his right foot step and strength. Obviously got to tell him to control and pick his moments for these attacking chances. He also doesn't have the speed on the wing to exploit any half breaks like Khan Peirara could.
Defensively it would help as well. He can get caught in field too much on the wing so centre would help with that. Also similar to attack, he doesn't have the speed to quickly cover breaks on the wing.
Agree BE. And in his last games with us, he becomes a defensive liability by leaving the defensive line but had missed to tackle thus leaving the opposing winger for a try. Unfortunately, Lomax had also done this since he came back from SOO.
"Brisbane are a prime example of self centredness in the club. Madge was brought in to fix it but is too much of an authoritarian to fast the mob. Ryles seems to have that nice balance of being able to put forward discipline while also getting those…"
"Though on top of that HOE, not so much how is Samrani better than Simonsson, but if the future is now why is Richard Penisini not at least getting into the 22 man squad? He would be more of a future Centre for us than Samrani."
"Russell has stepped up, but missed 3 tackles last week (3/14).
The real question is how is Samrani better at centre than Simmo? I like Samrani but he's let in plenty of tries by getting burnt at centre.
Meanwhile, Junior missed 3 tackles too & made…"

Sami is not being kept, maybe a swap ? 🫡
I like Sami and AKP as wingers but we currently have Fox and Lomax. Unless Lomax plays centre we need a centre
Potentially AKP outside Lomax

That would be an awesome combo.
And now talk is Titans board considering keeping Hasler.

Show me any buying we are actually doing Blue Eel.
I'll call down once we start......
