Fine with Herbert on the roster because he’s NRL capable in a position we’ve got a shortage and not expensive but he’s not of the quality or potential that should be a walk-up start every week. Neither should BK really, unless he’s the 2020 version.
Treymain Spry, Tony Francis and Jojo should all be in the week to week centre equation come 2023 which will help but it seems we’re lacking a bit of variety in body-shape with outside backs in general

We should be scouting the lower grades and even Fiji and PNG for a tall athletic winger how many Arial tries have we scored since the don retired
Herbert is being made to look worse than he is because of the constant breakdown of our right edge defense. He's making some poor decisions, I definitely agree with that, but I actually think that it's stemming from Toby being out of his depth and not communicating properly. Too many times I've seen him hopelessly out of position in defense creating yawning gaps for the offense to stroll through. None of this is an excuse for Herbert's atrocious body language and frequent blow ups of late. That can't be good for team morale.
You are speaking my language. I would love to see us tap more overseas talent. I think the Dolphins are smart to link with the PNG Hunters.
We also have Marcus Bai's son, Cooper in the system too. Which is really meaningful for the Chargers connection which was an era where I well and truly threw my support behind the Chargers during the Super League war.
You are right that our aerial tries have dried up. We used to even joke about the frequencies of bombs to Don. But he was good.

How good is the 19s origin. Weaver has played well. Poor Fafita hasn't had a good opportunity yet
Small discussion going on in here

That's a good point. And many were cornerstones of the Kiwis. And there would have been more in recent years if IRL wasn't put on ice due to covid. And not all Kiwi eligible players are selected of course.
And there are alot of Kiwis on the GC, let alone SEQLD.Originally Posted by Storm Kiwi reps
- In 2013, there were about 650,000 New Zealand citizens living in Australia, which was about 15 per cent of the population of New Zealand.
- ABS: NZ-born residents were almost twice as likely as the overall population to live in Queensland in 2006 (38% compared with 20%). In particular, they were just over twice as likely to live in Brisbane and more than three times as likely to live on the Gold Coast.
- ABS: In 2006, there were several Statistical Local Areas on the Gold Coast where around one in ten residents were of NZ birth, the result of strong growth in the NZ-born population living in this region. These areas were Pacific Pines-Gaven and Surfers Paradise (both 11%), and Coombabah, Kingsholme-Upper Coomera, Broadbeach-Mermaid Beach and Robina (all 10%).
And then you have all the Kiwis who grew up on the Coast and came through the school system and went elsewhere in the NRL.
And then you have the issues of categorising people's nationality and culture when it can be defined in many ways and through generations. And of course the huge amount of people who trace their background to the Pacific Islands.
Storm also have notable reps for Tonga, Samoa and PNG. Wise for a club based in an AFL city. Perth should follow the play book.

100% agree that we should be targeting the Kiwi base we have here. I think club management are already ahead of us in that regard, which is why they brought in Ezra Howe. Unfortunately, we've ended up with Clark, Lisone and Vuna (some would argue Herbert belongs here too but I still like him).
Don’t forget Paasi, Hurrell and Pulu

Which high-profile businessman has offered to buy a 25 per cent share of a struggling NRL club? This underperforming outfit could certainly benefit from his management expertise
Could only be the Titans or Warriors
