    • Yes but Drew left the next year because Brian Smith made the wrong call in the GF and effectively lost the game with his mismanagement. If they had diferent builds it could work, I hope they try TDS as a 5/8. A good hooker play's like a half and a good half can play as a hooker.

      • Not saying impossible but unlikely we signed him to play 5/8.

        Maybe if Smith bagns the door down and Papali'i not doing great, Ryles experiements?

  • I really hope Ryley Smith is locked up long term. He's better than De Silva. I hope we didn't pay over for him. 

    • Mutts i dare say, considering the length of the deal particularly Da Silva is the future. Why go for Da Silva anyway if you feel Smith is the future? Just move forward with Smith and sign a back-up who are around.

      • I feel like you have both on the roster at the same time and go from there rather than throwing all your eggs in the one basket. Both have different attributes we could do with. Smith is full of energy, tenacity and has shown how he can spark an attack. Da Silva is more of your crafty style of hooker. I see a squad where Smith starts and gets Parra rolling, allowing TDS to come on and contribute more in attack.

        • I think Rylie is now contracted, I would be amazed if TDS is on more than Rylie, if he is, its a recipe that can effect a total side.....certainly defeats the type of commeradie that Ryles is seemimgly promoting.....the more I read on here the less I am liking it.

          Even Super in the above post is justifying it with who starts and who finishes, the reality is that Smith has areobic ability similar to Gutherson and he can play for 80 minutes, even if at present he struggles getting it. That said he is a guts and all player and that is just a case of balance in his game coming from experience.

          I have this feeling that Parra seemed to want to win something after the Galvin experience. If we paid anything like what is being reported from the media mafia, then we are in deep shit AGAIN.

          Finally i was under the impression we had some good young hookers coming through our juniors and I don't know how they feel about this........of course if this kid is some sort of a "freak" then I am totally wrong in my assesment.

    • Ryley would probably request for what we are paying tds if we try and extend him. Our he'll try his luck with bears or png

  • Any updates on the Garner pursuit? Feel like the forward pack will be great if we sign him.

    • Someone mentioned that he was going to Dragons ... probably why we got the 35yo De Belin. 

  • Poor manly releasing the great JA to accomodate him and than him signing with us
