Come on down Chevy!

Sounds like dragons might become an option with raiders keen on Tyrell Sloan and would entertain the idea of a swap for Stewart or Mooney

 

[Noitall]

A host of clubs have shown interest in Trey Mooney apparently, knights are a definite one. I hope we’re one, can cover front row, lock and was initially a second rower. Does make me wonder if there’s some attitude issues not being able to make raiders first grade? But they’ve got a lot of good forwards too. He might have that attitude that WahsaurusRex was talking about too like a Leota or Leniu and could thrive with JFH

I think they need to get rid of Mooney to re-sign Papali’i as he dosent want to go to England anymore

 

[Tragic]

Who would you drop? Dallin even with the poor form he is in, is by far our best winger (other than RTS). The season is still well in hand, and not worth risking blooding a rookie or risking more Kosi meltdowns.

Rather have green but fast Sio kali missing in defence than dallin should the same without the upside though you could argue that dallin might come right before the finals run

 

[Ref]

Come on down Chevy!

We could be seeing a spine of, if the rumours of Stewart are true, and Jett keeps progessing the way he’s going. That’s a young and exciting spine

Stewart
Cleary
Metcalf
Healey

Next Year
TT
Linnane
Metcalf
Healey

 

[Worried2Death]

Plus Boyd at 3 gives you slow defenders at the 2, 3, and 4 spots inside a winger not renowned for landing on ball at the best of times. Just not a good mix.

People calling for Gagai, at 34 years old, he'd certainly fit the Dad's Army back 5 we ran out on the weekend I guess?

A Gagai and George Jennings combo would be an improvement on last week's right edge

 

[Dannevegas]

putting this realistic 2026 team up because This years chances with Webbys stubbornness is depressing

Tauapiki
Tuivasa-scheck
Fatialofa
Leiataua
Kali
Metcalf
Boyd
Barnett
Egan
Vaimauga
Halasima
Laban
Clark

Healey
Salalilo
Fisher-Harris
Gannon

Apparently Kahn Pereira being shopped around.
He’s got some running game.

Him and Beau Fermor

That clubs a mess

 

[Ref]

Why would they shop Fermor when there is always doubt around D Fifita.
Campbell rumours as well.
Sack the coach.

Yeah Fermor seems to be one of their better players.
Strange.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Jett’s contract has been upgraded from train and trial to top 30, making him eligible to make his first grade debut this season.

Jett Cleary earns contract upgrade, eyes NRL debut

He is the younger brother of Nathan Cleary.

Fermor is their best most consistent player and (Gus here) an Original player

I wonder if Akp would be a project for us!

Didn't you say his d was bad

 

[Boats n Hoes]

When that project already has natural next level speed its a project worth undertaking.

Everything else can be trained.......next tier level pace cant.

Apparently AKP has a māori father.
Played at Keebra Park with Tanah Boyd, Burleigh with Taine and Titans with Clark.

That’s why I used the word ‘project’

DWZ hasn't
