Do you have any info on Dean Hawkins 

best position half or 5/8 etc

Hawkins is a traditional halfback, remember he got injured and Ilias took over.

Sullivan is an issue for me I do not like lazy players I mean training ect there are reasons Flanagan is moving him along the bad apple syndrome .. seen this many times before . The club needs committed players this is the only way the mediocrity barrier will be broken .This is why the Storm have been so successful they have committed players that will put in the hard yards . At least the club is doing the job to bolster the halves and about time ( Sheens has a lot to answer for this debacle IMO).

I've been saying for a while now we need to recruit on personality more then anything. You can take the risk on 1 or 2, like we have with Fainu, but that's it.

Sullivan offers that x factor that Sezer and Hawkins do not, that  off the cuff type of 7. 

By end of 2024 I am hoping it is 7. Sullivan 6. Fainu it will be very attacking with Bula and Api.

Agree. Attitude plays a big part, especially in defence.

I agree with this however it cuts both ways. We have spent 10 years with an introverted main playmaker whose form seemed to ebb and flow (mostly ebb) with his personal confidence. Fainu & Sullivan look from the outside to be cocky but again from the outside they are not going to lack in self confidence and will back themselves and a club like us, in the position we are in need some self confidence that doesnt vaporise at the first setback. A couple of cocky young smartarses, with wise old heads like Klem & Api around might be exactly what we need.

@jedi-tiger the X factor is one thing the inability to work hard in preparation and doing the things to help the body cope with the riggers of week in week out NRL is just as important as the X factor ,no use having that in the rehab room on a regular basis and Sullivan seems to have a permanent booking there !

I agree with you and he looked overweight at his tour, but I was specifically responding to Dougs point about personality...laziness is attitude, not personality. Laziness is a career killer.

Sullivan's defence might be a bit of a worry but hopefully they can work on that somewhat

He’s a great player but honestly we can spend our money better elsewhere ie halves and outside backs. Haas would make our very good forward pack even better but we’d still score no points.

So just to clarify if it was Haas you don’t want him
