Sipley goes against what we are building i feel. He barely plays for Manly nonetheless starts, yet we want him to come in an start? We have money to get bigger players, we should aim higher.
Mozer also i feel Ryles will keep Walker as the primary 14 with Hands as the back-up Hooker.
Makes zero sense your basically replacing like for like Sipley for Paulo when the game is speeding up we don't want the 120 plus kg props there getting phased out.
I do not think Smith is amazing like some here but he is not rubbish either. I feel he is a good Hooker that can definately get better. He is a Hooker you can do well in finals with.
I think Randolph makes a fair point LB. I'm not really sure if too many players are in the amazing category.
I will say this and that is Rylie Smith is a better talent than Reed Mahoney ever was (that doesn't mean Reed was rubbish btw). Don't discount his aerobic ability either.
THis kid is a genuine talent, don't discount was he has done in the space of 4 months.
Your talking about aiming higher yet happy with smith as a starting hooker, the guy barely takes the line on and gasses after 20 minutes and passing becomes average.
"I've always thought about Iongi to 5/8 even before Brown made his intentions clear, however I really would prefer to leave him at fb for the foreseeable future as he's still learning the position.
I really doubt we'll look at another fb

I mean that's what this thread is isn't it.
Supers already kiboshed the Paulo retirement anyway.
Grant Anderson is not available if you kept up with the times..

Smith is dog shit at hooker.

I don't understand LB. If "He is a Hooker you can do well in finals with" why is he only a not rubbish good hooker?

You watch too much netball, you're getting your Smith's mixed up.
