I hope Petrus still has a path to FG. 3 year deal for Sua and Kautoga is still young. Petrus turns 19 this year so he could be ready next year IMO at least for a bench role

  I think so, Kautoga signed til 2027. Ryles has shown if you are better he will play you. Petrus, if great, would be cheaper to keep 2028 onwards than Kautoga and might be the route to go. We have so many forwards off contract in 2027, Petrus will have a spot I reckon. Kid is only 19 thankfully so he can play a couple of years playing off the bench before he gets antsy.

    I do like Kautoga once he gets the errors down. Runs hard and solid defender. He improves each week so happy to keep him long term

      But I'd say Petrus is better, you play Petrus. I like Kautoga but I wonder what his ceiling is.

      Kautoga has too many errors in him and is easily gassed. It's no surprise the errors and poor defence are the results of him being gassed easily. Some athletes have a lower ceiling when it comes to fitness and endurance. The game has changed and it should be standard metrics for every club recruitment policy.

  Who is Petrus?

    Damaging SG Ball and Australian schoolboys backrower. He's been a one man wrecking ball in games this season and dragged the side over the line in a couple of games. Fast, athletic and physical.

      I am about to flip. How we losing to dogs 20-6 at HT. Such a frustrating team. So inconsistent for the amount of talent.

Imagine if Keaon signed with us instead, he would have money and Jaydn with him.

Su'A is a right edge backrower who played four games for QLD in 2020-2021 (dropped after Game 1 2021).

What will be interesting here is the flow-on effect to Kelma Tuilagi and Jack Williams. Recall Williams started game one of the season at right edge back rower and moved to prop due to suspension then injury to Hopgood, forcing a reshuffle. Tuilagi forced his retention in the Broncos game but was patchy in defense vs Panthers then Tigers.

Are we sure Su'A is not being ear-marked for Williams Part Deux (2nd row and middle)?
