1. Teddy has lost a lot of pace, it seems to be quite dramatic. It wouldn't surprise me if a gradual migration to the No.6 jersey, OR, Robbo and team will demand he fundamentally changes the way he plays at fullback, with a bigger emphasis on passing and kicking game.

2. Collins will be the no.1 prop in the game by the end of 2024. He will be that dominant that JWH will largely fall into his shadow, previously unthinkable.

3. Keary and Walker will finally really click as a unit. We will be in great hands in the halves.

4. Watson either won't make it back, or if he does, will be sadly ineffective.

5. Wong will be a cult hero, he will be dominant in attack on the field, have commentators jizzing, and be all over the media (albiet not quite to the extent of Sualliii was). Will be hoping it doesn't go to his head, as it did to Fatrell.

6. Robbo will prove the mouth breathers wrong ,as we finish top 4 and really challenge for a title.

7. We will finally get a DECENT run with injuries, at least decent compared to recent years. There will still be issues.

Agree with it all, but it all hinges on 7. We can nail 1-6, but if injuries don’t improve then it’ll be another wasted year.

[HunchoRooster]

We can only hope that you are spot on with the injuries. Still waiting for Penriff or Souffs to cop the injury curse we've had since going B2B.

Even Melbourne have lost Paps for over a year now. We still hold the title of the most cursed team though. I think I read a stat somewhere that Joey Manu has played 1 finals game since 2020 due to injury, and that was 50 odd mins against Cronulla.

[HunchoRooster]

In terms of squad, Dom Young is not playing ressies. Neither is Leniu.

They had multiple clubs after them, particularly in Dom Young's case. Newcastle offered him more money than us, and he almost signed for Souffs. Do you honestly think he would join us without any assurities that he was getting a starting gig in our side? He is playing. Unfortunately I think it'll be Billy Smith that missses out if JS see's out his contract. I don't necessarily agree with that but that is my prediction as to what will happen. BS odd man out. He will get game time though given Toops is always good to miss 5-6 games through injury, similar to Manu. Teddy will play Origin again. Need depth and Bily Smith will still get 10 odd games next year.

Leniu will likely play off the bench at first but will find himself in the starting role with Lindsay halfway through the season. Another bloke who was offered very similar to stay in the Riff and be apart of that machine with all his mates or go to the Dogs for even more money than we offered where he would've been able to play wherever he wanted... again, he is joining us because he wants to be a starting prop at a big club. Whether you agree he deserves it over the likes of May, JWH, etc. is irrelevant because it will happen. As previously said, not my personal opinion, I like the idea of next man up who have experience in our system already but just a matter of fact when you are recruiting sought after players, they get promised certain things.

Billy Smith is a left centre. The best option at the club.

Suaalii is a dud at left centre.

Young is a quality winger but has yet to prove he can play left centre in first grade. We want to start the season strongly and can't afford to experiment with players out of position.

I think Suaalii is one of the best wingers in the NRL.

It will be interesting to see the line up come round 1.

Agree

Suaalii wing or nowhere.....but i wouldn't pick him over Young or Toops.

Billy Smith killed it at the back end of the season, him and Manu *obviously) are musts at centre offering strike on both sides of the field. Watch what Smith did to Campbell Graham !! How many centres could do that

Robinson won't guarantee anyone a starting spot

[bondi paul]

Bondi Joe to remain as our goal kicker.

[Kelby]

JS could be picked as a left edge back rower?

196cm / 100kg

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

Dom Young will be in the starting side. Dude is a star.
