Only ever seen a few highlights of him playing 9s and reserves anyone else more evidence to back up the confidence in his potential? And if that’s a no, as an example of being cautious with highlight reels go back and watch joe vickerys.

Thought the rumour was that we are going for Fifita also? I would assume Cuthbertson or Lui have to go if we are going for Fifita and Field. But that would be a very big improvement.

Cuthberston in last year of contract and IIRC last season he said he was contracted and wouldn't be going anywhere.Lui is contracted for another 2 seasons so unless he can find a club in the NRL or SL I doubt he's going to walk away.On Fifita not sure why Wakefield would be to do a deal as it was only last season gave him the largest contract ever offered to a Wakefield player and several posters from their site seem to think Wakefield are fairly cashed up.Fifita would certainly add some grunt up front.

Must be part of the attraction.

We have an abundance of young players with big potential coming through, we don't need to go out and sign more!

What we need is a seasoned pro for the front row and to cover the three quaters. Would not be impressed with either of the players mentioned, as they can't even get in an NRL team!

And yes, as a club, we need to stop going off highlight reels!

Jai Field is a young St George Illawarra player, our head coach was player pathway manager at... St George Illawarra, but yes, I’m sure the club are only interested in him because they've seen a few YouTube clips.
