At the start of the year, Iongi was rated by many as the best fullback yet to play NRL. So after another year of development, I am confident he will be solid in the NRL. Thankfully with Moses and DB, it will give Iongi time to settle in the fullback spot without the responsibility of producing magic in attack. Needs to focus on just the basics. Communicating the defensive line, safe under the high ball and using his footwork and explosiveness to ice of any opportunities created by offloads or our halves.
"NOS, I agree DB leaving was a failure to adequately secure a position (5/8). The player options were bad ideas but it's also true DB did not reciprocate the faith and trust placed in him.
Good find above. I stand by it. We know I didn't say he was…"

"Though if you are to overpay it's for players that can make more of a difference. Keaon I didn't mind paying slight overs for as middles are so important today. But you also do not want to go too over the top as it puts your cap out of wrack and you…"

There goes his legacy.
Good player but past his best.
His 900k a year can secure us some serious talent.
Don't know how I feel, what I will say is we still haven't won a comp with him there and as captain, so I guess it's time to move on.
I hope we have someone in mind. That's a lot of cash to spend on an elite player.
Get Brailey and that chase hard for Munro. Stonestreet and Wilson are good options too
Also a lot of faith in Iongi. I hope he has what it takes.

Have lomax as a backup
We have 5 spots to fill, think that money is used to get quality pieces to make us competitive faster.
Who do we go after LB?
