Can Kautoga be an impact forward? Sure i guess. Though i would not be surprised if we see Williams at Lock or Prop and Kautoga is the other edge starter. Not saying they should do that, just what i think Ryles might go with.
Yeah i agree he should start at Lock. He made Origin playing Lock. As you said he was moved to simplify his game and it worked.
Though i wonder what the plan is for 2028 onwards since Hopgood is off-contract in 27'. Do Parra extend him for a bit more money or do they go with Koina who is cheaper and could be better player in the long run? Rush mentioned how much he values pathways and bringing talent into FG to avoid losing them.
Also, i do agree he is a better fit at Prop than Williams who is the clubs best back-rower.
Sam Tuivita is a must, I'd be re signing him for another 4 years!!
Til 2030 at least. Him and Leniu are a nice counter balance in that Leniu is that high energy mad man, Tuivaiti is the bigger working middle who can pump out 50-55+mins and make over 30 tackles with 10+ more runs. I felt Tuivaiti was underwhelming this year, he started well. But of course, a full season in the NRL at Prop can be a shock to the system, i bet he comes back even stronger and prepared for FG. Ryles should start him.
These will be Rush's first signings. I think Sam and Williams will get done. Sam's management we're holding off and I heard they didn't see eye to eye with Jim.
It will be good to see Rush's name associated with a few good re signings
Is it just me or does Tuivita seem a little injury prone for a 21-year-old?
