    No from me. Too many silly penalties he gives away, but his offloading game is something that would benefit our team a lot. Need more of our players to offload as second phase play with jc, fifita, brimo is something we would benefit a lot from. But he lacks fitness and effort as stages similar to TPJ.

    Apparently in Toby's press conference at Movie World, he mentioned Will Smith had trained lock in off-season. Andrew Johns mentioned Isaah Yeo was most influential player at lock. Smith isn't the same calibre but do you think we would benefit if he or somebody else (tanah, liu) played a similar role. Wallace and Lisone have obviously shared a ball playing role with good effectiveness at times

    Don’t disagree with anything you mentioned, and I definitely wouldn’t want him for any longer than this year I just think signing an outside back to our last spot in top 30 was a mistake with our obvious lack of depth in our forwards especially with current climate in the nrl, someone like Max King could be potentially available with Gus’s fire sale.

    A big no to Lodge as he is the same type of limited minutes forwards we already have in JWal, Lisone and Ese Ese. In addition he is a loose cannon and a penalty magnet.

    In regards to Lock, Lui had played more football than lock at the Roosters and has ball playing ability. My view s that our team would be more potent swapping Tino with Lui. Sure we may lose minutes with Tino moving to the Front Row but would be more than offset by having a different point of attack with Lui at 13.

    Max King is their most consistent player at the moment. If we got him, that would feel like robbery

    Lodge is about the last person I want to see wearing a Titans jersey.

    Scrapping the barrel when even writing about Lodge it’s nearly laughable to think of him as an option, our top 30 is complete I thought

    Would rather Luke Thompson if him and Holbrook want to re-unite.

    Pretty sure we can use our development players now right? Any ball playing locks or second rowers there?

    Nope..a hooker, 2 halves, and a centre/winger.

    Alick is Top 30.

    Klese Haas is signed in some capacity but I'm not sure if it is current Dev, furture Dev, or future 30.

    Agree that these positions are our priority.

    The 7 should be your major marquee player and it is no coincidence that the 3 biggest improvers in the comp this year being Cronulla, Broncs and Cows all purposely targeted a high quality half and they are all benefitting from this with significant improvement. Unfortunately Sexton is struggling big time .and I don’t think he has the full skill set for a top quality half and behind him is Weaver who I think has a higher ceiling who is at least 2024 away.

    We have no depth at all at 9 and is also a must position to a quality 9 and depth although there appears to be some coming through the colts but again 2024 away.

    A strike centre who has pace is also needed where we don’t possess any dangers from long range tries with our centres. Farnsworth is the type of centre who great pace and is off contract this year I think. I think him and JoJo Fifita would be a great pairing

    I believe we are well off for wingers and a top centre with pace is needed.

    There are some real good forwards in QCup and we need to hang onto Alick, Haas, Issac F seem to be the standouts and as a club I would looking to fast track their development. We also need to ensure our future middles are athletic in build as we need to move on from the limited playing time our middles such as JWal, Lisone and Ese Ese currently play and because of their build, get caught out in defence due to fatigue and lack of lateral movement.

    I read that 14 clubs had expressed an interest in Cobbo and we are one of them but I think we would be a 1000:1

    Sorry WD, just to clarify - I was just answering Indo's question about what we have with our currently rostered Development players.

    I wouldn’t waste a brass razoo on Cobbo or any wing from outside. Any 9 and as mentioned by many swap Tino and Liu. And lol@lodge
