Assuming Walker is happy with playing in the 14 jumper. Maybe he has loftier ambitions...like being a starter.
Guess that there will be all eyes on Koula , especially with Suli leaving . maybe Tippytoes, Bullimor looks promising . Hopefully Burbo may get some opportunity to impress next season , just wondering if Saddler will still be around .
I thought Hosking lived and worked in Oldcastle. He works as a warehouse manager, or in some equally unexciting job.
Are they likely to be at FG Standard by the start of the season?
With no NSW cup footy it's hard to say. You'd think Tuipolotu is ahead of koula at this stage though
Guess that it more the hope that they can , Koula seems more likely and has played mainly centre this season with under 18 "s and Black Town and some strong efforts . Tippytoes has the attributes but probably needs to step up a bit . Can"t have rep standard players in all positions but with Suli leaving , really need a bit more ability there .
Fan of this bloke, but is in recovery from injury....full off season and training with the Top squad, expect him to push for a spot in 2022
Koula was playing wing at blacktown this year im pretty sure. With taufua and tuipoloutu in the centres. Weekes at fb
I'd say funa, taufua as well.. potentially Saddler and De Luis. But who knows at this stage
I re-sign KDL on minimum wage without any hesitation.
I'd hesitate for a while to see what else is happening and then sign him.
I believe his salary is being paid by the club, not out of the cap. So, no.
Have you had a close look at the players who remain uncontracted @SeaEagleRock8 ? There is not a lot of quality left out there. Certainly no one springs to mind from the current leftovers as making a difference for us next season. De Luis provides great depth in a position where we need both experience and depth. I think we need to lock him up. Looking at the composition of the squad for 2022, we need another backrower, a centre and a utility back that can play fullback. I don't think we have the financial capacity to even look at many players that could take us further next season. So we are really are just looking at the journey men, the unloved and the unwanted. Copley could be worth a look for example, purely as cover/depth. Billy Magoulis could also be worth a shot, Ray Stone I guess but we are already scraping the bottom of the barrell. We might be better off fasttracking some more juniors, than working with players we don't really need, who don't offer anything different to the players we are not keeping on.
