Upgrade Losalu to top 30 asap - he played the perfect 20min stint right from the kickoff
Losalu is definitely worth his salt! He played well last night and gave 100% against the Broncos.
I'm surprised the Eels let him go.
Bends the line better than Collins does these days.

Whyte has really natured and has great footwork at the line and playing in a game like that will be good for his confidence.

he has been gifted premiership winning squads only to over complicate the game every year
I never see this argument being brought forward with Bellamy for example even though Peter O'sullivan went out and brought Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, Israel Folau, Cooper Cronk & Cameron Smith all down from Qld for him. Are they also "gifted squads" as you call it?

Can you explain why Trent Robinson is gifted squads when other coaches build and develop theirs?

It's the same BS that people came up with 20 years ago to discredit Ricky Stuart by claiming that Graham Murray built the team when he didn't.

Funny how it's "he has been gifted squads" but it's never "he developed Manu, Latrell, Matterson, Collins, Radley, Watson, Butcher x 2, Verrills, Walker, Tupouniua, Terrell May, Billy Smith, Wong, Whyte" And why is he discredited as "being gifted squads" but he takes all the blame for the failed recruitment?

Losalu has come through our junior grades the last few years

You could make the argument with Murray for bringing the likes of Morley and Luke Phillips across because we don't win in 2002 without either
Sticky to his credit had the squad the fittest in the comp however

It's amazing over 13 years how he was gifted 3 premierships. The likes of Boyd, Friends, JWH, Keary, Manu and many more when asked who has been the biggest influence in your career that Robbo is mentioned first. Even those still here.
But as for being gifted premierships the NRL and refs gifted Madge the 2014 one. He now has a squad who made ghe GF two years ago and added a couple of stars. See how he goes. Bennett had 17 rep players in 2010 in the last premiership he won. Can't remember the one he won previous. Was it 2006 with the majority of SOO players? Cleary has the best nursery in the country to choose from. It's like going to a draft with the Top 10 picks every year. Bellamey has been discussed.
The dumbest argument is Robbo has been gifted his premierships.

Whyte was great. He's a power pack. If he can get into that weekly grind of consistent quality could be the new cornerstone of our pack into the future. I've been less impressed with Wong after he burst into the scene with great potential. Still a raw product, but the talent is there, needs coaching.
That's the difference between Whyte and Wong.
