After waking up today and having a clear head and no longer being pissed off by yesterday's performance, Atay has got to go. A fraction of that $1m could go to so many other halves available Shaun Johnson, Adam Reynolds, Jackson Hastings, Gareth Widdop, Connor Watson, even Kotoni (if he is going to be a 5/8). Let alone our own juniors who may or may not be up for the challenge. I think we have to let Atay go, we've taken the general position away from him, the conversion kicking, has 1 good game for 2 bad games.
We need a hooker and 5/8 ASAP. Big body winger next priority.
I think if I was to look at our halves going forward I would sign Staggs and play Fogarty/Staggs next year and then Staggs/Weaver for a decade.
If Sexton comes on as well then you’d have Sexton/Weaver as the halves and the luxury of moving Staggs to the centres.
Tanah Boyd needs to totally focus on becoming a First Grade starting hooker.
I’m saying this because I don’t see us being in a “Premiership Window” for at least two seasons. So we need to continue to build through recruiting young players with ties to the area.

I have watched Sexton in his last two games and it just confirmed with me that, at some time this year, he is going to own the half position in the NRL side. Good organiser, good kicking game and takes the line on with speed and a step. Much quicker than Fogarty and a good defender. He is the immediate future whereas Weaver is at least a couple of years away. Interested to know why you don’t have a wrap on Sexton, Bodie? I may be missing something.
Burleigh and the titans keep playing him at half. sexton showed him up in rivalry round on the weekend

From what I have seen sexton is good but can be flustered and in the 2 weeks i have closely watched him his kicking options arent consistent yet. i wonder also how he would handle second receiver, tweed are playing to his strengths though and i am sure he will develop this season given he couldn't barely play last year with COVID
Have you watched much of Weavers games Bods? I don’t know too much about him. I’ve seen a bit of Sexton however and really like the way he plays. To me, he plays very similar to Moses at the Eels. He could probably do with a few extra kg’s put on him before he debuts but if Fogarty went down tomorrow I’d be happy to see him have a run.
My question is though what has happened to Spry? Did he play QCup last weekend?
^^^^ oh boy
I am actually very worried about the season ahead knowing we still have results like what we saw on the weekend in us. I honestly thought that **** was behind us.
Couldn’t agree more with you Bodsie about Weaver but he is a couple of years away. I think they will start to run him against men later this year. Fantastic talent. Has a real football brain.
