I think Mikaele will be at the dolphins. He only signed an extension with us for this year.
Needs to have a long look in the mirror and realize how big he actually is and then learn how to become a wrecking ball .....you get this feeling we will never see the potential ...shame

Agree.
When people talk about players needing time in reserve grade I think of Jock Madden (not in a bad way)...when people talk of players who are just happy to be a first grade NRL player I think of Mikaele.

Yeah it justs funks me out ...he is an Ipswich boy (same club as Noel Kelly actually ) and I'd been given some inside goss about him from one of Ipswich Jets coaching staff ....why I called him the beast ...that's how he described him to me

Long been a fan but he has been even more disappointing this year.
So, we’re after a centre and not a back rower to replace Garner. I wonder what this tells us about the futures of Talau, Kepaoa, Gildart and Doueihi…
Well the two currently there aren't our best. Maybe Talau centre short term, transitioning to back row? We're certainly understaffed there.
Despite preferring Doueihi to centre short term, I guess we're looking a bit further down the track. Which would mean Doueihi to 6 and Brooks to ????
Laurie comes back, Toa to centre. So I guess someone to partner him.

I'm starting to think we need to pick our best 17 every week when fully fit and find spots for them .....If Douehi needs to play 4 ...he plays 4 .....you can't leave Jo O out of the starting line up by playing Douehi or Hastings at 13 .....
Jackson Hastings has said he believes the club should buy Sharks and Kiwi backrower Briton Nikora.
We’ve been linked to him for a while but that seemed to go cold.

I haven’t watched many Sharks games. From what little I’ve seen Nikora looks a good solid player. Not a game breaker type but solid.

To me he looks the same sort of player as Garner, but an upgrade.

The Pom posted on the other forum that Nikora staying at the Sharks and Tigers no longer interested in Aitken. Supposedly concentrating on Crichton. FWIW.
From the Pom: Nikora’s management contacted all involved clubs that he will remain at Cronulla last night. Euan Aitken wants 450k a year & the club has moved on from him at this point. Angus Crichton now a main focus
Taylan May is the clubs number 1 outside back target for 2023.
Kade Dykes appears all but done for 2023, talks discussed about him being out 30th spot for 2022 continuing
Disappointing regarding Nikora. Lots of pressure on us now to sign Crichton (Or anyone good) otherwise we’ll look ridiculous letting Leilua, Tuilgai and Garner.

Yep ..especially Garner .....Luch and Tuilagi are better players .....but leaving yourself short a starting back row for 2023 is unforgivable
Few stories going around that the Roosters want to clean house ...letting go JWH Crichton etc go to make a run at Munster ...

Id take JWH at the right price. Old and past it but still a hard loose unit and we lack that.

I think he is past it ....I reckon he is battling to get 30 quality minutes now ...I think he turns 35 before next season starts ...I'd pass .....18 months ago ...hell yeah
