Latu has obviously not impressed the coaching staff as was seen by him being stood down from training and games (in all grades) earlier in the year. Samuela on the other hand worked his arse off and impressed.
Seibold and co may have made a grave mistake in not jumping through Tartak's hoops...
This is a good point.
Garrick while doing an admirable job at fullback doesn't really pose much of a threat.
Croker while being a champion defender provides little out of dummy half.
It's unrealistic to expect one player to carry 3 others in the spine.
Serious question for those who are completely against this signing. Did you have the same reaction when he signed AFB who kicked his pregnant wife? Or Dylan Walker who had a number of domestic incidents? Or Watmough who had a domestic incident early in his career?
This is it. I think he must have scored for us once or twice all year and not many line breaks.
All the best to the kid but apart from a good run in the trial he hasn't stepped up.
He was told he wouldn't be playing first grade in the next 2 years and was granted a release. Unlikely he was going to play much with Koula and Garrick in front of him.
He has had a couple of moments of brilliance but hasn't really kicked on as expected.
Respectfully disagree. Paulo is not slow - Paulo runs the field
He racks up big metres as an outside back and has a good strike rate for scoring tries.
I hope Schuster is able to develop some more "grit" in his game. If he could, I could see him being a similar player to Jim Dymock. The thing is, he really needs to roll his sleeves up and do the dirty work. Time will tell.
Especially halves... think junior superstars like Brett Firman, Aaron Groom, Josh Drinkwater, Drew Hutchison, Arana Taumata, Jai Field, Lachlan Lam and silvertail's messiah Tom Wright
I agree we should not be extending Schuster.
Fainu is a tricky one. As mentioned elsewhere, he was dropped from all grades for over a month early this year for not meeting expectations. I assume the coaching staff have made a decision based on the impact of dickheads on club culture.
