I honestly can't believe there is not even anything in rumour departments.
Jiba doesn't have a job as of Nov 1 this year and his brother is the best outside back at the club he was affiliated to as a junior.
@1910 is there any insight on what's going on?
Has he fallen off a cliff in Townsville to be getting no attention and seemingly plummetting down the depth chart of edge backrowers in Nth Qld?
Other than him just wanting to stay in his home base of Tville... is there any other reason he's not had his manager at least reach out to broncos?
His form this year at the Pride is certainly not what it was last year at the Cutters. But I have put that down to the Pride not being too settled and the whole team leaving last year. If he got a run of games with Duffy I think things would improve. Cutter moved him into the middle last year when they needed wins, and they won he just has such a massive influence on his teams.
He's 20 next week so certainly not all lost he's still learning but for me his form line is just too exciting to ignore. A huge kid that can move from an edge to a middle and always wins and influences games is hard to ignore.
22- Meninga Grand Final- lost but scored two tries.
22- Country captain with Purdue in the side won 38-20
23- Meninga finals- 50m try against Ipswich backing up the middle from the kickoff. Then out runs everyone- it's great for a front row to even be there supporting a break down the left let alone run the 50m when the ball comes back to him.
23-Meninga Grand Final-lost but was captain and front row.
23- Meninga player of the year
23- Colts Grand Final- won, front row and captain, MOTM, two tries- 40-0 at 18 in Under 21.
23- Cup debut May v PNG- four games off the bench at 17 years old.
24-Moves to Cutters and scores 6 tries in first five Cup games down the left edge.
He's now played 29 Cup games since May 2022 and one NRL game. I don't necessarily think he should have played more NRL by now, but I think he's entering that territory where his development needs a step up. That 30-40 games area is where I would expect him to have 10 NRL games and 2-3 of those be good games.
He's made the step up every time.
