I’m keen to see Toa play fit in a settled team. This is his last shot at becoming a regular NRL player and he has a lot of motivation for 

Needs his body to hold up this year.

Geez Luai is a superstar, I love his attitude and especially the comment about watching back all the games twice and knowing where the issues are and how he could have addressed them, to the point where he could have got them to the 8. I don't think he is that far off to be honest, there were multiple games where we lost in specific moments and there were games where you could tell the team ran on to the field with the wrong attitude and negative energy. I believe a Luai type player could have made all the difference in Skill, experience and positive energy. Him Terell and Turuva will make a big difference, throw in Bird, a recommitted Pole, and a bunch of kids that have tasted first grade and have the whole pre season to get ready. The top 8 is within reach.

Id love to get his take on where we went wrong.

I'm keen to see some consistency across the park this year, we had a torrid time in our halves and entire backline throughout 2024 due to injury and suspension. We can't forget the fact that Galvin was probably not identified as a starting half till February at the earliest so Bud and Sezer were probably training in those spots all pre-season, so we started on the back foot before a ball was passed. Most key positions look pretty settled so they should look much better come round one (i hope)

Obviously looked a gun that game against NQ two years ago (playing outside Brandon Wakeham!!) but could never back it up again. Maybe it was injuries? Will benefit from having Galvin on his side.
