I think meany at fullback would be better moving forward and averillo halfback
Plus didn’t we sign Cotric at centre for 2021?
Which means Lafai or ?? Needs to go

I do not rate Meaney at all, I think he needs to go asap along with Lewis.

 

[BomberBurton]

Lafai is only for this season, right?
See if he's still half decent, if not, cya.

Lewis I agree but meany is still a baby he showed good signs against the dragons.

Lewis I agree but meany is still a baby he showed good signs against the dragons.

He needs to be quicker off the mark and more elusive to make it.
Whether he can find that, I don't know, yet suspect that it is not in him.

What's strange is that (if it was true re Coctric), why not announce both at the same time.

Maybe there is only talks and a handshake so far but hasn’t signed on the dotted line?

Welcome back Lafi

 

[BomberBurton]

I have think under the right coach he my blossom.

Guess time will tell, yet that applies to a few others too.
Wonder how Harper would've faired.

 

[BomberBurton]

*Colours the man crazy as instructed*

 

[spiritofaslan]

I think I just realised perhaps the idea behind this signing.

We have quite a few real bright young backs coming through. Isaiah Tass being just one, Alamoti, Picken and Harding others.

What better way to guide some of these guys towards first grade than with an experienced international centre like Lafai. When the Morris brothers left, we lost a lot of experience with them.

Sure it's only a 6 month contract at the moment, but I wonder if we've offered a mentor role after this for him?

 

[BomberBurton]

That would make sense, so lets hope that's the case.

 

[K E]

Welcome back Lafi

Just need to get Pea back and we're set.

 

[Nutboy]

Just need to get Pea back and we're set.

And Iris?

 

[spiritofaslan]

And Iris?

We have Iris twin Okunbor, will that do?
