His best and and in my opinion only position in an NRL team is 6…
He is too slow for the centers … and he doesnt have the motor for back row …
We won’t need him at 6 next year … he is probably better off looking elsewhere
So we are 10 games into the season … and he is still 5 weeks away from playing reserve grade after a year long absence from a serious injury …
I think expectations should be very much kept in check this year … and then there is no contract for next year I understand … tough road ahead for him …
The Roosters deal was year longer and for about $30k a year less…but stil getting $825k a year
Would you rather live and work in Penrith or the Eastern Suburbs ?
The sad part is that apart from Api…who else from the current squad can they bring into the side that can make an immeadiate difference ?
If you say Toa… he won’t move the needle a nanometer….
The game yesterday was lost that first 20 minutes of the second half ..
There was very little energy and urgency…
Not sure which forwards were on the field during that time ..
However … I think it’s reasonable to say that the three forwards mentioned in the first post were not major positive...
Personally… I find the guys on the other podcast more knowledgeable.. also not as much “fluff” on that podcast ..just discuss current news and the previous/ upcoming game and move on .. doesn’t need to be an hour .. suits me anyway…
I’m happy we are all anonymous here …
Big Rob is obviously a dinosaur … the problem is that he is the only person worth watching on that show … the other two guys might be ”nice”, but they are not overly entertaining …if this is the end for him, unfortunately I’ll be tuning out …
If he survives this … he needs to be off social...
