Can't have better hair though.

Never. His was glorious. Upper echelons of men’s hair. A couple of tiers above prime time Des Hasler

That's a big call there Fui. Surely JJ doesn't top Hemsley?

Hunters was good, but it lacks the curls. Might make top 10, obviously not now.

I’m inspired, I’m going to do a Fui’s Match Ups of best heads of hair in the celebrity world.

I think this is a really smart buy. Taylor had massive raps on him while he was at the tigers. Definitely has potential. Would be signing with us for an opportunity, not $. I have little doubt he could develop into a first grader. Welcome aboard!

I'm hoping he's good enough to push Lui out of our top 17.

What’s the go with Royce Hunt, Matt? Has he had his chance?

[ALX22]

Was unlucky with injuries at the Tigers, and I felt came back too soon from a knee injury.

Never got a chance at the Knights, with the club looking at younger 'local' players.

Good luck to JJ.

[BadnMean]

We win. Knights sign Klemmer today, and Dogs signed Napa, what losers. Our management are definitely smarter.....

And I bet Roosters will get Tapau now. If so all 3 teams sign international props and we get a reggie prop suckers.

Technically we signed Bateman (international player). Just we don't know how he'll go and he looks a worker not an impact guy like those.

[RedRaider]

Welcome to the Raiders JJF. I hope you are demanding selection in season 2019 because your form is so good.

I still think we are short an outside back but Sticky knows more than anyone.

I think Oldfield for Rapana until he’s back and then first reserve is fine. I do agree you need another option that plummets Abbey down the list though.

Not sure what deal we gave him. If any. I know Makatoa is now a train and trial only. TBH Im not sure whats the go with Hunt

Rapa is out for 10wks or something.
We lost Ravalawa.
I think Kris has moved up a spot.
But I thought we were 1 short last yr, and it hasnt improved.
Id like to see 1 more added.

For those who were kids in the 70s, I propose the new nickname for JJ ....

JJ ‘Dynomite’ Felise.

Just seems to have gone from a first grade contender to no man’s land. Kind of happened during his debut game actually.

That’s my point - how did he go from big unit with potential and who’s good enough to get a debut game to guy who plays seven minutes and is never sighted again? Baffling.

yea no idea, I thought he was worth more of a look, I'd have offloaded Boyd and Paulo halfway through last year and made sure the likes of Hunt, Guler and Knight etc had 8-10 more games of first grade
