Player Rocco Berry

Yeah no decision needs to be made now. I wouldn’t be in any rush to re-sign him come 1 November. We could re-sign him end of next year on the cheap (even the minimum possibly). An injury ravaged Berry as a fourth string center is still better than Morgan Harper.

Just see how next year plays out, we have some gun centers in our Flegg team (probably deepest position in that team in terms of talent) so a lot will depend on how they progress come end of next year, the likes of Kali, Vake, Putoko, Norris, Moimoi.

I don’t think we need to be looking externally for a Berry replacement. Pompey/Ali is a good pairing when Berry isn’t fit.

I'd be giving Kayliss Fatialofa some time in the centre's in cup, he's got all the attributes in my opinion to be very good there at NRL level. Otherwise I'm not sure how he fits into the longterm plan with our ritches of depth in the back row.

His old man had some injury plagued years too with only 8 games across 1987-1989. Had some reliable seasons either side of that though:

Dude seriously needs to take up Yoga and Tai Chi.

He is wooden as a Kungfu Wooden man....needs to be more like water.

That shoulder injury was from hyper extension when his arm makes contact with the turf, like he gave himself a chicken wing by having his arm on a ball, face down, and a dude on top of him.

Get him into Yoga Warriors, or dance, whatever, build flexibility and flow. The brothers need to teach him the walk, slouched shoulders, swinging arms.

I like his build, but he runs and walks like he has stick up his arse.

I get it

We would rather he didn't dive on the loose ball to avoid injury and just let the Tiger player take possession
