Slater wasn’t much chop early in his career either.

I think he has shown with his kicking that he has a pretty strong work ethic, as by his own admission he was never a great goal-kicker as a younger player but has obviously worked very hard on it and has developed a great kicking style and boot on him.
Some pretty good natural football talent, combined with such a strong work ethic will go a long way to addressing any issue that may need to be developed, you’d have to think...

A resurrection of one KHunt would be nice.... can't recall if he was a natural ball player when he came to grade (the sweep wasn't exactly in vogue at that point from memory), but **** me he was unstoppable in the end

And by Ali, you mean the article released yesterday afternoon. These flogs on Twitter really need to start being called out for literally just copy pasting material and calling it breaking news.

Good call from Wayne to move Isaako to fullback
Will he be a ball playing fullback? no I don't think so but if you look at our team it's based on a strong running game, literally everyone in our side with the exception of Boyd has a stronger running game than they do anything else, I think it's a good move

Wouldn’t wish injury but the injury has already happened. Bloke has a pair of cheap 10 year old spring cables for hammys waiting to snap and take out someone’s eye. Would be nice for him to get a medical retirement for a good payday and so club isn’t handicapped with salary cap.
Can't happen. It must be a one off injury. Boyd's hamstring is a pre-existing condition. Insurance companies won't pay out. Like Stewart he will stay on the books whether he plays or not. I certainly don't wish him injury harm.
These guys are real people that should not be tossed aside by supporters when they get an injury doing their job. I will continue to back him doing his best every week. Hodges played on no hamstrings for years. Not the particular comment I replied to but others are very unforgiving on players we've supported over the years.
The four year deal is questionable but may also pay off.

Blindside: Broncos chase Sydney Roosters halfback
THE Broncos are targeting Sydney Roosters young gun Sean O’Sullivan, with the jury still out on whether Anthony Milford and Kodi Nikorima can fire as Brisbane’s long-term scrumbase pairing.
Blindside can reveal the Broncos are moving to poach O’Sullivan, tabling a formal offer for the promising 19-year-old halfback who made his NRL debut against the Titans last week.
The son of former Storm recruitment chief Peter O’Sullivan, who was embroiled in the Melbourne salary cap scandal in 2010, the Roosters No.7 is viewed as a successor to Cooper Cronk.
The Roosters are confident of keeping O’Sullivan, but it hasn’t stopped the Broncos having a crack.
The Broncos last week withdrew a one-year offer to Melbourne playmaker Ryley Jacks and have instead shifted focus to O’Sullivan, who has some family ties at Red Hill.
His sister Jess is the partner of Broncos prop Matt Lodge, who made a dash down the M1 after Brisbane’s shock loss to New Zealand last Sunday.
The Broncos’ game finished at about 4pm before Lodge raced down the highway to get to the Gold Coast’s clash with the Roosters which kicked off at 6.30pm.
“It was a busy day,” Lodge said. “My partner’s brother made his debut for the Roosters, so I went down there quickly. It was a good night for him.”

Just what i was thinking [emoji848]
Fair enough if we were signing a seasoned halfback..but this kid isn't that much further down the line than our junior halfbacks.

neither of Boyd nor Paix can even play ISC yet (both 17) ... so they are likely several years away from the NRL at the least

It means they will have competition and all of them would have to compete so the best man for the job gets it. Would be a new concept but I'm willing to give it a go.

I haven't really heard much about Sean O'Sullivan...
Is he the type of 7 we need?
Is he the type of 7 we need?
Penrith junior and went to Roosters- played 18 games for the Roosters last year in NYC and plays ISC for Roos this year. Residents half this year and was outstanding- laid on three tries before half time and Blues routed us.
Two things I noticed in Residents- he set up Britt for two tries but then went over the other side of the field and put Garner over. Then steps through and scores himself- all before half time.
Garner and Britt just dined out on his edge work. like a second rowers dream three tries between the two of you and barely touched doing it.
Ended up with three try assists, four line break assists and one line break for his try in his first senior rep game. Kicked strongly all night.
Was Blues 20's half on Wednesday but Roosters pulled the pin when Cronk was in doubt.
Would have been great to see Clifford and O'Sullivan go up against each other.
