Lehi deserves the 1

Hoppa, Koula, Faulolo, Talau all excite me more than Garrick and Showpony Saab. They all are skillful but also have a dig and do the hard stuff well and don't whinge and throw their arms in the air (looking at you Reuben).

Now back to those forwards....
Hope Manly quickly locks Faulolo and Talau ( collectively known as Taulolo for ease of reference). I believe they’re both off contract this year.
 
I don't think many have called Tom out for poor form, it's called not being on the field
Well said feathered friend
On the field a fit Tom is our number one
Lehi's time will come
A fit Tom is still the King
Long Live the King

I think Lehi played better Saturday night than a fit healthy Tom has played in 2025
I fit them both in, but feel it's an injustice for Lehi to lose the fullback spot ....adds steel from the back and will only improve with game time.

Well he might not be prepared to wait that long , I think we have him till 2027 but you don’t take anything for granted in the NRL.

Turbo was pretty good i st game of the season against the Cows and did seem very promising with the Turbo factor from the back ongoing but cruel fate has stepped in again .
Would still expect Turbo to resume full back duties when available again for this season , even into next but even if it goes better for him for the remainder of this season and onto the next , probably going have to be an almost inevitable change with Lehi there in 27 , his last contracted year .
Always been a big fan of Koula as a keeper and strike centre , Saab on the books until 29 i think and definitely rated .
Maybe Garrick back to the other wing with Turbo in the centres but Turbo will have to take a haircut to keep that backline grouping of Lehi , Garrick Koula, Turbo and Saab within the cap parameters
 
Noise is getting pretty loud that next start it's Hoopa to fullback, with Turbo to centres - 100% back this move, just hope these ordinary forwards can lay some sort of platform

More like next game Max if the noise is on point.
