I’d be on the phone to Vunivalu after that Wallabies game. Surely you don’t want to play for them mate? I don’t like how the guy plays but if we could somehow swap Isaako for Vunivalu, that would be awesome. If not him, Koroibete would be great too. I don’t watch enough Union to know who else would suit league, but I reckon the NRL should give each club an extra million to target the best rugby players available. If we could somehow achieve any of this I’d be very happy. Time to be ruthless and get rid of a few of the players we have that put us under a lot of pressure on and off the field.
Lose- Hopoate, O’Sullivan, Oates, Ofahengaue, Isaako, Luke, Te’o, Kahu, Isaako, McCullough and TPJ
Gain- Asiata, Grant, Allan, Sua, Vunivalu, Copley
I think they’ve probably been re-signed or signed with other SL clubs, but I would love someone like Mike McMeekan (2nd Rower), Niall Evalds (wing), Morgan Smithies (2nd row), Joe Philbin (2nd row), Alex Walmsley (prop) and Liam Watts (prop). Backs never seem to do well but these forwards could fit right in the NRL.
I’d obviously be raiding the Q Cup too, with players like Jono Reuben, Jordan Grant, Nixon Putt able to make the jump to first grade in my opinion.
Ah, a man can dream.
