talakai is a bench prop. We need a starting prop who pushes Pole to bench. For bench prop I want kamakamicka so we are going with Pole, Kamakamika, Sione and a utility
I think you’re right, need a more athletic type for 13. But Talakai would offer versatility & another option for edges & bench.I’d love to get Talakai.
Second that, he's been very impressive during the finals.
Can see him as a 13
Doesnt have the motor for 13. IMO Cant have him and Royce in the same squad.

So, the club has officially farewelled 6 NRL and a massive 13 women players... obviously a big clean out going on there.
And, Aaliyah Bula is included in those leaving.

Yep, Naden, Tumeth, Lobb, Porter, and Matamua confirmed departures (along with Faatape, Feledy, and Staines).

Crazy moving Bula on IMO. The small amount she would be getting would be the the best value investment in keeping jahream happy. Particularly as we are renegotiating his Contract.

there’s a few head scratches with some of the women’s leaving, thought Thorne, McGrath, savill
and would have been worth keeping
Congratulations to the 5 Tigers/Magpies players in the Fiji squad. Had no idea Samuela and Sione Fainu qualified for Fiji - best of luck
13 women’s players wow. Hopefully this is because there was something seriously wrong with the women’s programme and they are fixing it

Hey they are a young married couple... this may not be a football decision... every chance Aaliyah may be pregnant or they are trying...
Never know... and best we don't jump to conclusions.
Just on list of exiting players from other clubs...
Any interest in Jacob Host?
I thought he played well this season for Souths.
Out of the middles who could provide depth he & Fletcher Baker probably the best. I think they would strengthen the Cup team and could fill in at NRL level from time to time & do a good job but unlikely to hold down a spot in the 17 on a consistent basis.Just on list of exiting players from other clubs...

Just looked up Host’s stats & seems he’s going to St Helens.
I’d take him 1000000%
worth a punt, especially if you can get him for under $300k x 2 years.
