  • Fabian Goodall- Play Vai Toutai on the wing for next year then after a full year in NSW cup Goodall should be ready for first grade.
    Nathan Davis- Let Tonga run out his contract. Don't sign Israel Folau.
    Ryan Matterson- Play him at lock or don't re-sign Chris Sandow/Release Norman
    Kelepi Tanginoa- Don't re-sign either: Lussick, Allgood, Gower, or Terepo.
    Tepai Moeroa- Tough one because I think in a year's time he could be one of our starting second-rowers. Unless you move Pauli to the middle?

    I think we'll have one of the biggest, most dominant forward packs moving into the future.
    8) Mannah
    10) Jnr Paulo
    11) Ma'u
    12) Moeroa
    13) Matterson

    14) Pauli
    15) Tanginoa
    16) Terepo
    17) Lussick
    • Where is Kenny Edwards ?
  • Some hard decisions to make, hopefully they make the right ones as we will loose some good young ones as they are all trying to play fg.  

  • i keep Matterson..Goodall..Tanginoa..Moeroa..kelly..Maafu..Davis..Dockar clay..Lussick..Tepu smith..Junior mauala

  • KELEPI TANGINOA  Sadly i fear we will lose this one and i honestly believe he has the most potenial. Also ZDC will be a handy first grader in the near future.

  • what about Tepai Tepu-Smith? i think he will be a gun.

  • Here is the issue. Fans will be up in arms if they turn out to be the next Gallen, Maloney or Topou and exceed the ability of what we currently have. While you have a point with Age players each of the three you have mentioned have all been part of the NSW origin set up recognising them as elite even within their age which is normally a good precursor for future success much the same as Pauli and Kelepi before them. They all have the size to be very good in NRL and in the case of Matterson and Goodall have both stood out also in their appearances in NSW Cup. The term "established First Grader" is worrying needless to say many on here wouldn't be too concerned about letting go an Allgood if it meant keeping Kelepi.

  • That's why the youth should hopefully be given a few games whilst those experienced players are still under contract. Hopefully we get to see Moeroa in the next game whilst Ma'u is out injured but I highly doubt we will.

  • keep - Kelepi, Jnr Paulo, Pauli, Moeroa, Goodall, Aliola

    Don't resign - Lussick, Allgood, Ben Smith, Joseph Paulo, Fui

    • Paulo's been already signed for three more years hasn't he?

"Samrani reminds me of Kane Linnett for NQ back in the day. Not a massive player in attack but defensively was sound. He won't be playing Origin or anything I doubt, but can he be a very steady 10 year NRL player at Centre? Most definitely.

"It's quite disappointing how Penisini has panned out.
He should of been a world class centre by now, and I honestly thought he would of been when he 1st came onto the scene.
I do hope Ryles can get him there but not sure if a change of club is what…"
