I’d take 17 shit players who try their heart out and love the club over whatever the **** we have now. Offer 25 blokes from the Q Cup 110k a year and give five first graders a bit more and as long as they don’t pack it in when the going gets tough then I’d be happy.
The expectations haven’t been set by him, we need to get out of this mindset where every player has be a superstar, I think he can be a handy player for us.
Niu is a keeper but he is a work in progress. He'd benefit from a ISC season in his projected position but if we were out of finals calculations altogether we might use him again. He showed flashes of brilliance and balance. There was a touch of the way Renoulf seemed to glide in a few of his open field excursions.
Nah, he’s diversified - he took Jack Bird.
See above.
Probably for the best, just means we won’t get speculation about player swaps that won’t happen and we will just release him and pay for him to play elsewhere
Last year he wasn’t ready, physically or mentally, particularly coming into that side & being touted as the saviour at fullback. I don’t think his physicality has been his problem this year, it’s his decision making that has let him down. He should be up & down, like most players his age, dropping down to qcup for a few weeks and back to nrl for a few weeks is how it’s supposed to happen. I would like to think he has escaped some of the media attention with the more high profile players off contract and that will allow him to develop without the threat of leaving for promises of game time and more money.
His favourite ever team mate is Justin Hodges. That’s exactly what we need. Get him in Kev.
