    • He's worth 1 mill + but sounds like he's very settled in new z. He's actually only played 34 first grade games due to injuries so he's probably not the safest buy. I'm sure plenty of 5/8s we don't know about will be available it's all happening behind the scenes 

  • Lorenzo talataina is future 6 not only strong in attack but hold own defensive 

  • Fuck I feel sorry for Lomax considering how this is unfolding , signs with us thinking we are one or two key players off being a title threat. Fast forward and he's playing under a coach on his L plates , Moses is on constant annual leave , we have no 5/8  locked in , nor even a glimpse of anyone decent coming, and he should be getting another 25% on his salary. 

    He could've stayed put , been a local hero , stay beachside , and be in a shit team without the massive commute obligation. And yet , he puts in week in week out.  
     

    yeah nobody suffers more than us fans , but he's gotta be a very close second.,

"Twidle at left centre will be immense. With Iongi and Volkman/Joash maybe preferred for 6 and Talataina coming through, we must be doing this."
