    There are ample good, running 5/8s but a shortage of the kind of halfback Katoa is. Long kicking is certainly a problem for both SOS and Katoa. When Milf was playing, he took it over and was much better than both. No reason Katoa in particular can't fix that part of his game. As @Liverbird with...

    Missed the game. Never heard of Mikey Lewis. Plays in the ESL? Getting cold where you are?

    Hope so but I haven't heard it for next season. Heard it's a good possibility for 2025.

    2024 squad and best 17

    I'd bet that is the plan. You know Wayne loves his ball-playing fullbacks. Averillo used to be a 5/8.

    3. HAMISO TABUAI-FIDOW - 9.5 Impressive test debut. Showed the turn of foot of an Everest-winner when scoring his first try from deep inside Australia’s end, making something out of nothing. “That is a side of sensational,” Andrew Voss said on Fox League. Crossed from short range to score his...

    Josh Curren would be a great pick up. Not sure about Paix. Why would the Dolphins want him?

    NRL’s 15 bust signings of 2023 Anthony Milford (Knights to Dolphins) Milford was once the highest-paid player in Broncos history and had one hand on the 2015 Clive Churchill Medal before Johnathan Thurston’s famous field goal. But then came the fall and it felt like a death by a thousand cuts...

    NRL’s 15 boom signings of 2023 Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (Cowboys to Dolphins) The ‘Hammer’ couldn’t get a start at the Cowboys, stuck behind gun fullback Scott Drinkwater so he took his talents south. The Cowboys’ loss proved the Dolphins’ gain as Tabuai-Fidow took the inaugural club - and the...

    2024 squad and best 17

    Surely if Niko is in the starting 13 it'll be as a 5/8 with Katoa at 1/2. Also I think Kenny Bromwich might beat Nicholls for a spot on the bench.

    Plus, I think Katoa is a good halfback. We need a 5/8.

    TBH, I have no idea at all how and why a couple of those along with Hammer were selected in front of Ponga.

    Top 5 players, 2023

    I guess it's gotten better but still, just because Newcastle are a one man team doesn't mean the best player in the competition this year by a mile, Sean Johnson, should be punished.

    Problem is, what big name players are available? Is Wayne going to offer 1mil a year for Jerome Luai? I guess that would work but is slightly overs. Probably worth about 800k. Won't be available until 2025 anyway. I wonder if our ESL insider, @midlands hobo can recommend anyone over there. Why...
