Lachlan Dooner is another to watch - suffered a serious injury in a SG Ball trial match that ruled him out for the season in that comp - came back and played a couple of Jersey Flegg Games at the back end of the season- has a big boot and is a tall fellow - centre or 5/8 - I seen him play a couple of 1st Grade games in group 6 for Camden Rams when still a schoolboy - 17 or so

They also signed Toby's older Brother Tom Rodwell from the Sharks - winger / centre

What I read is improving players fitness is something that will be worked on to enable an 80 minute game to be played week in week out - of course one figures improving the defence will be worked on as well as not sure what type of attack they will have in 2025 compared to 2024 when they topped the table for points scored. Need to work on reducing errors and improving set completions and possession ratios - need greater than 50% possession in games.

Be interesting what the top 30 or so will look like as they have some places to fill for 2025. - 7 or 8 places

I just rewatched the second last round Cup game against the Bears. Most of our good youngsters played and looked pretty good with the ball but look like they need to muscle up to defend in NRL. One good NRL preseason might be enough to get some of them to the required standard
