I really hope we can see Savelio come back from the wilderness. He’s the first back rower we’ve had since Willie Manu who I think can just decide to make something happen out of nowhere. He’s got everything, just lacks the professionalism of Ellis, Mini etc.
I agree re the club needs to speculate to accumulate re signings. We’ve started poorly, but do slowly start looking like we’re improving.
Right now, I’m really considering whether to renew. £58 a month Ill spend to watch us get hammered in our own back yard. Next year is an expensive year for me and I could probably use the money better else where.
However, a few exciting signing of players and I’ll easily be lulled back in. I just hope we try make our ‘marquee’ (i mean in terms of quality not marquee quota) players non quota.
Too often we go big on overseas players who in reality lack loyalty and are often hit or miss. The days of quota players like Ogre and Fitzy are sadly behind us. It’s got to be about locking in exciting British talent down.
Spent big on Ellis and in the end, he replaced his weight in gold (2016,2017 & leadership).
Not sure how he would fit in but I’d like us to take punt on Gildart and obviously Leeming. Their time in NRL should up their playing and training standards.
