      He has a lot of ability, but unfortunately can't adjust to living outside of Norh Queensland.

        We have Walker. Keeping him is all that matters. And Sandon Smith is a gun. We will have to let some backup halves go, it's better for them too, they get to play NRL, albeit at lesser clubs.

          So pauga, jennings, sandon smith, Wong and sitili all playing this weekend in nsw cup. I wonder if it's for any other reason than to gain match fitness and improve skills?

            They're footy players. They like playing footy. What "other reason" would it be?

              I have no idea why but Robbo seems allergic to having a big body in the halves...unless it's Hutch
              The next Heath L'Estrange? That's some big wraps you have on him, mate!

              I heard he's Hendo, Stapo and Hutchinator all in one. Impossible I say.

                Well butcher, Whyte and May for three weren't put to nsw cup so it implies the others are lower in the pecking order....which I think is correct

                  Because they are not in our best 17, and the reggies don't get the bye.

                    While people are going on about Ethan Strange, the reality is he would not have got a start in our team with Keary, Walker and Sandon Smith. Even when we were short last year we played Hutchinson over some rookie.
                    Lachlan Metcalfe the half in Harold Matts is a gun as well from what I saw.

                      Yes all players not in our best 17 and not expected to be for next game against parra unless any injuries occur between now or then
                      some good depth though
                      sandon smith needs some good 80 min game time for a few weeks and not just coming off the bench for 15min in nrl

                        The injury toll in senior reps is pretty extensive so NRL players playing NSW Cup is not unexpected one has to say.

                        Whether they play will depend on how the SOO players pull up after Wednesday's game.

                          Indeed.
                          Brother of Luke.
                          R6 has raps on him. He's a QLD U18s rep.

                            Also a handy goal kicker!

                              But at the same time it's probably just as likely that he gets stuck behind Toby Rodwell and Jake Elliott having to fight it out for a reserve grade spot, which for him personally there is a much clearer path to first grade at the Titans.

                              There is always a bit of FOMO when a good youngster departs but I think it's a real positive that we are so stacked with young talent that we have to lose a few.

                              Something a club like the Storm have been so good at for so long. You almost forget that players like James Maloney, Cody Walker, Scott Drinkwater and Nathan Friend who would make a pretty healthy spine were all pinched from the Melbourne lower grade system.

                              Talented players leaving whilst talented players also remain is signs of a healthy and thriving talent identification and development system.

                              I feel more positive about our pathways systems than I have in a long time.
                              I doesn’t feel like we are stacked with young talent. They don’t seem to be pushing through to first grade like they did when we had O’Sullivan as head scout, but it could just be my perception.

                                Apparently Bennett is looking at bringing along POS with him to the dark side next year .
