"Thats very fair. Also have to keep in mind the performances I saw were also in NSW Cup so against weaker opponents. So wouldn't surprise me if he struggled at NRL level playing lock for the reasons you just stated."
"Yea you will really love Koina and Polley for this kind of stuff. I rate them so highly. Even to the point that I believe Koina makes his NRL debut before Talagi. Even chance he will be a better player than Talagi."

I could not agree more with what Sterlo said
He's right. We have a very inexperienced team and the only thing that will fix it is recruiting more experience or letting them develop it organically. On the plus side all our remaining players are more experienced than last year. On the downside we've lost five players with 100+ NRL games, including Jennings with 298. However Gower, Takairangi and Terepo weren't in our top 17.
The good news is we still have nine remaining and they are probably all in our top 17, with the possible exception of Cartwright:
1. Gutherson
4. Blake
5. Ferguson
7. Moses
8. RCG
10. Paulo
11. Cartwright
12. Matterson
13. Brown
By comparison Souths only have eight such players, but that includes their entire spine:
1. Mitchell
2. Mansour
4. Gagai
5. Johnston
6. Walker
7. Reynolds
9. Cook
10. Burgess
Are you forgetting we went from like 5th to 16th in a space of a season before your nominated period?
I swear people only see what they want to see, the club has been stagnant now for 4 seasons.
Cheers,
Scott
We finished last in 18, 5th in 19 and 3rd in 20.
How do you see that as stagnant.
If we finished in the same position every year then yes we were stagnant but as we have improved our position on the ladder every year since 18, that can't be called stagnant.
There were 5 better teams than us last year mate, our placing on the ladder does not respresent the reality.
This teams treading water and will continue to do so this year.
Regardless of whether you think there were 5 better teams is irrelevant to what Scott or myself said.
Scott said we have been stagnant for 4 years.
If we were stagnant we would have finished in the same spot for those 4 years which we clearly didn't.
Where did we finish in 2017 ? That's the season I'm talking about.
Cheers,
Scott
Bingo Scott, i cant believe what im hearing and reading.
Coryn, BAs had this team for going on 8 years.
We're really cutting it thin in the centres and wings. Green players (Penisini, Dunster), rubbish (Waqa), past it with several personal issues (Fergo) and barely played the last couple years (Opacic and Oldfield).
