"I'm surprised at how small Lorenzo is. Hope he has some growing in him."
"Yes I believe he will start there but this will also be one of Ryles's biggest challenges over the next couple of years. We look like we have some very talented players coming through looking for opportunities. Ryles may have to make a tough call on…"
"Wouldn't be surprised if we do get him, adding experience to our young squad has done wonders for us."

Fletcher is an excellent goal kicker
He has starting this year on fire. Converted all the goals last week in trials. Last year in SG ball he was not this good
His style seems to rely a bit more on a powerful strike through the ball which might correlate with a development of his own strength as he is growing
Amazing. Very very happy. 1 slip up from a guy who has a lot to work on and from Kelma who won't be here much longer. Plus a weak performance from Pryor who I think might get squeezed out also.
Otherwise we completely dominated them.

Future looking bright but we still need to find an edge player who is an established high level NRL starter, a 6 and a genuine Winger.
I wonder if we could try and get Bostock who is in line for a big upgraded deal in a stacked backline and top 30 in Redcliffe. He is originally from Sydney so might be able to get him if we offer a good money deal. I think he is a 10 year NRL winger who is tough and nails and is no where near his ceiling.
The edge is target is Talakai in a swap deal for Lomax. I like Talakais versatility and punch. Sharks are desperate to capitalise on their 'window' and Lomax will be happy to go to a title contender. He will probably also like playing for a STG rival and living in a beautiful part of NSW he is familiar with. They need Outside backs and a goalkicker.
For 6, unless Pezet who looks absolutely unreal already figures out a way to stay we definitely need someone to come in and support Moses and slot in for him when needed. Lorenzo, Fletch and Twidle looked good and will feature in our spine and plans well into the future but I don't think they will be ready to play a full season next year. Brooks could be an option. Experienced and balanced Moses nicely. I'm confident now anyone can come in to this system and improve defensively and I don't think he'd blow up if he is coming off the bench by the end of the year if the kids start firing. It isn't a sexy option but it does make sense I think.
You were going alright mate until you mentioned Brooks. I hope I can sleep now.
Alternatively we'd try a cheeky swap with Lomax for retention of Pezet.
Sign Garner and Bostock.
Talakai has made a living toppling over Harper, which is not hard to do. He is not that good. Talakai for Lomax is not a fair swap. If Talakai and another player? Yeah i'd do that.
Thing with Pezet is he is a conservative Half, like Moses. Does our offense need a running 6? Pezet could work out as a full-time 6 but have yet to see him in that role.
Bostock won't be released but there are a few good ones at Dolphins. Tevita Naufahu is a talent and wont get a run.
You said Pryor, do you mean Saxon Pryke? If so yeah i don't think he makes it. Reminds me of Ky Rodwell, absolute worker and that is it.
Yes Pryke, auto correct got me there.
I think Talakai is quality can play Middle or Edge, can cover centre although that's less important now.
There is just no point holding out for the star everyone thinks we should get in return for Lomax, it just won't happen like for like. And that's ok, all we want is someone who can come in, help us win and ideally on an underpriced salary.
Talakai, Wong, these types of guys are who we should take, who we should expect. We will improve them anyway and save money which was the point of moving Lomax on
Tait up there is good and will be ready to start playing first grade in 2027, Nafahu is a player I'd take but I don't think he is due an upgrade and extension like Bostock is. That's the way I see it, get the one they can't keep but would like to.
Question LB, what would you offer Bostock if he came to you right now seeking an extension and upgrade?
Don't like loosing Russell. He was a punching bag now he's travelling to elite
