Don't underestimate Kelly, yes he has been rocks and diamonds, but you have to remember he was playing for a team that were rocks and diamonds. Under Ryles coaching I think he will be a very good buy.

GC don't seem to be in any rush to keep him infact they probably want him moved to make way for something better they have coming.We have to be serious here.By the looks of things we don't have anyone worth while to add hence why we are looking at Kelly.
Richie just needs to stay fit before anyone can pass a proper judgement on his future. The good thing for outside backs is that they can be ready for the nrl by 18-20 years old. So I am going to watch the junior grades when they start very intently. Rokusuka, Bloomfield, Moala and Sorovi are chances. They are only 18 and 19 years old in 2026.
Oh ok fair enough. Bloomfield moving to Centre and Wing is promising since we have Iongi so Cyrus can find a spot somewhere else and have time to develop in those spots.
Rokosuka getting some Flegg time as well would help. Wouldn't surprise me if Ryles debuts someone from nowhere, even Alamaddeine is in with a chance despite his average form in Cup last year.

"Hes only here as a back up. There's no use getting excited fongi. We'll probably offer 1 year with an option in our favour. If people think we are offering good coin or a two or three year deal, they're wrong "
"Does anyone else think Penisini could play wing. His carries are always strong he just doesn't make as many as a centre. I think Penisini could possibly emulate what To'o does for Penrith "

I don't think Ryles wanted to replace Lomax like for like, he doesn't want to spend big money on Wingers.
How can they afford him 🤔

Kelly has higher potential that Russel. Hopefully with JAC and JR he finds consistency with his defence and handling errors
EA, is Richie the future or do you think he won't go far and there is someone like Rokosuka who is the future.
Also, what happened to Lachlan Vella, he could have been a future Centre talent.

I don't think Vella is anything much

Only thing I like about him is his physicality outside of that he's just JAG for me.
