Not sure how pleased Ata would have been with his season.

He was well below average for middle forwards IMO, plenty of room for improvement next season. Just seemed to lack impact in limited minutes. Needs to play with a bit more mongrel.

Sounds like a bunch of marketing hocus pocus. [emoji23] But there you go. No real surprises there. The Storm rankings are probably the most interesting, for a club that has been near the top of the tree for a couple of decades.

What a career. Not too many players hang up the boots knowing they were arguably the best in the world in two positions at one stage during their career. At 32 I reckon he's got two seasons left in him coming off the bench. Still mobile enough in the middle to be an elite defender, just doesn't have...

The kid was a gun centre in the juniors. Might be a bit courageous to write the idea off after two random rookie games in the position. The kid clearly has all the fundamental skills, size and speed to do the job.

Yeah, he might suit a contender that can afford to pick up someone with experience for depth, but he's way past being a key position player that you can build your attack around.

He goes alright does Joe.

Interesting stat in his defensive try causes compared to last year, that looked to be a definite improvement this season...and demonstrates 2023 was an aberration.

Hopefully he's got two or three of these level seasons left in him.

For the NSW Cup player of the year he really struggled to impact the game during the finals series. That's a concern. Good player to have in your squad, but even more than Hopoate, we'll be struggling if he needs to play for than a couple of games of NRL next season. I'd have Fogarty, Strange, Sand...

I'd be quite happy with a guy like Nikora on the books. He and Thompson would be good targets for 2026.

Gutho on the other hand. He'd be a step back from re-signing Rapana.

Yes, this strikes me as a bit of a selective news story on the back of his selection for the PMs XIII game. I absolutely had the impression the club was already in talks with his manager. I suspect there may be some agitating for an additional pay rise, but who knows. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapa...

Seiffert82

Whether or not playing Strange in the centres is a good strategy, the fact is Stuart is almost certainly not going to ditch Fogarty as an elite kicker (and by far his most experienced leader in the spine) for a rookie. He's also going to want to give Sanders a shot to get some experience as our futu...

Seiffert82

Above all else Jama brings an elite kicking game and a level head. We 100% operated more efficiently when he was out there, despite the ordinary service he usually got out of dummy half. Of course his running game could be better, but that's not going to improve at his age. Anyway, I simply can't se...

Yeah, I think ultimately people will latch onto the 2 or 3 issues that are of most importance to them at their stage of life and try to find a party, or candidate that will promote that agenda.

Always felt like he was on the verge of doing something special in a game. For mine he's our fullback unless Stewart proves he's the better option. At that point I absolutely agree he could be an elite 14 to bring off the bench. Good year from the young fella; after a few months in seconds it was go...

I've been high on Strange since his debut. I love his game. He has all those intangible qualities that make him a winner. I also think everything about his game could make him an elite centre. Given the context, his two or three games there done mean **** at this stage. With Whitehead and Rapana gon...

Said it another thread but - The eagerness by some to move a 20 year old promising half out of that position and into less important position like centre, is absolutely baffling to me Strange had a fantastic rookie year at 5/8th... he's earned the opportunity to continue to grow and evolve in that ...

I don't trust a single party in the next term. The Libs are clueless and Labor are hopeless. I could be wrong, but I expect a number of independents to get over line this election.

I'd expect Tamale to overtake him next year at centre, wing might be his best option to stay in the 17 I'd give him a 5 Curious to see where Tamale ends up, but i've got him as a winger right now and i'd say he's a good chance to start the year on the wing. But he's played all over the backline as ...

It would be very odd for him to agree to terms and then play for a different team.

Tough year for Kris. He could be one of the most damaging ball runners in his position. Will be interesting to see how he goes next season. I reckon Strange is a chance to shift out to the centre if Stuart wants to bring Sanders into the halves ASAP. It's one area we could definitely improve in 2025...

I'm surprised people think we've given up on Danny Walker and are genuinely looking to sign Paix or Billy **** Walters.

I'm not sure if this was a strategic decision or not, but for whatever reason Hughes barely saw the ball last night and Munster dominated the Storm's attack.
