Ideally we only need Niukore coming in hard emptying the tank off the bench. The advantage is he can also play 2nd row/lock for situations like where we are now, very down on troops.

I also thought he came highly recommended by Brown from his time at Parra

Honestly, do you guys go looking for players to have a whinge about.
Wait till he gets here at least.

He's a perfectly fine player, just an elite bag getter rather than elite on the field, and that frustrates people.

It's pretty clear that he was signed to replace Frizell because he fit into the cap model, doesn't affect the ability to re-sign Bradman, Dom, J Saf etc, that's why POS has done it. I would have brought Barnett back and copped losing one of the outside backs, but POS clearly thinks it's the correct call - and thinks it's achievable - to keep the backline together, hold Jacob, and not shell out big for another experienced forward from elsewhere. Time will tell what was the right call.

Clearly he likes these tweener forwards POS, the Dolphins roster has a fair few of them.

Niakura named in cup for the wahs. I know Pete doesn’t get many wrong but this maybe one of them.

Mooney was playing cup before coming here. I’ll wait until he’s played a few games here before judging him
