He has also played this full year outside of Pezet which is horrible.
If we're signing SuA then of course he's going. Even if we're not I think I'd rather throw Latu or play Williams than him.
He's not bad, Kelma, but he really still has too many brain farts for someone of his experience.
Where do we need to recruit? List of player and where we have cover and where we dont. Brackets are the cover player
1. Iongi (Twiddle)
2. need to sign (Bailey simmonson)
3 Will Penisini (needs someone putting pressure on him)
4. Samrani (needs pressure, not sure how long Kelly is signed for)
5 JAC (Twiddle)
6. Lorenzo has to be ready( Papali/ Junior)
7. Moses ( Journeyman or Volk)
8. Tuivati ( need to sign 2 props)
9. Ryley (tds)
10 Junior ( like tui we need 2 x genuine props as cover
11 Sua (hopefully Latu Williams Guymer Funa Luta Kit Kat can cover 2 back rower and bench rotations)
12 Kit Kat (as above)
13 Hopgood ( Walker, Guymer, could use Paulo, Doorey)
14 TDS (Ryley)
15 Walker
16 Need 2 x props plus teacum brown
17 one of the back rowers
as it stands I think we desperately need 2 props and a quality winger (Bailey just too one dimensional)
I would argue two middles, a Centre and Winger. Then depth wise a Halfback, Hooker and perhaps another back.
I think in 2027 Fletcher, Coinakis and Hudson maybe would move to cup so that's 7 and 9 covered. Volkman might stay too.
We need a middle and a left center. Then we can see. I don't generally believe in signing depth as that's why your juniours are for in general.
Coinakis maybe as a 3rd hooker, but I wouldn't rely on Fletcher being our back-up Halfback. Would rather one with some NRL experience, particularly if Talataina is at 6.
Thats what made Hawkins valuable last year, he played some FG before coming here.
I feel these juniors should step up to cup
An opposing club that picks him up thinks our coaching and defensive systems are the issue or otherwise they are passing. Just like how Penrith took blaize Talagi despite him being garbage in defence with us. But as we saw against bulldogs Penrith coaches havent improved him at all.
He has talent. He can run a good line, can be physical and can offload. Added bonus is he has some experience so you can throw him in if you need him. But a team will try and fix him.
Imo Kelma is one of the laziest defenders we've ever had... honestly think he has been lucky with us to have had so many first grade games. Im actually surprised he gonna try his luck elsewhere, unless it's just us encouraging him to do so. Tata!
