    Hopefully Momo hits the tackling bags big time until March. His grab high & let go tackles are bad technique & you would think Robbo will sort this out because if not then why the hell was he signed again.

    I've never seen a more insipid performance in tackling in 1st grade in his match up with Staggs. It was boys against men stuff.

    He is far better on the wing with the sideline helping him out.
    According to the stats he's our BEST defensive back..... even with the shocker he had against Staggs. No way will he be on the wing when we have Suaalii and Toops, plus Paulo.

      We have plenty of backrowers, we need cover at half and 5/8.

        I'm guessing they're looking at Hutch, Manu and young Sandon Smith as the next cabs of the rank if either of our halves go down

          Thats why we need cover.

            We have 2 genuine second rowers in our first grade squad. In fact, I'm still not convinced Sitili is a genuine 80-minute second rower. Nat Butcher is a middle forward that filled in admirably at second row at the back end of last season.

            Born and bred in the eastern suburbs.

              yep… our defence improved quite a bit with Sitilli out… less dropped ball aswell …. I still like him don’t get me wrong but he needs to improve this…

                I honestly think that Sitili did the best when he was an impact player off the bench. Think of the times where he came on with tired forwards and abit of footwork and he busted through the line. The most notable ones were in the 2019 year, up against the drizz at AAMI park, the game where fatrell kicked the field goal. That was purely off a Sitili burst right through the middle - and I remember another handful of games where he was from the bench and came on and just tore through the line.

                But in saying that, our bench is kinda filling up fairly quickly with Watson, Egan, Collins (assuming Lodge + JWH start), then another forward would be nice - but it seems like Robbo likes to opt for Hutcho. So potentially Sitili could be our last bench.

                  Sitili will not be a bench player under Robinson.

                    Im not sure what his deal is with the Leeds Rhinos but Rhyse Martin would be a good pick up. He actually came to the Chooks in 2010 as a 16 YO & played SG Ball & Flegg before leaving to the Dogs.

                      Dom Young would be perfect for us. Trouble is he’s adding value in the public spotlight now. A few battler clubs will pay a few more $100k than we will

                          Haven’t we already filled that quota with the two south Sydney rejects?

                            Let’s not forget how Robbo turned around the last Souffs reject in Keary
