Do you only post whilst under the influence of dutch courage?

Just read an article that Trojan Horse put up about the best up-and-coming young players who are on the verge of regular NRL game time and as he says Ty Rodwell was on the fairly short list and it says this about him


I tell you 147 running meters average a game and 37 tackles are nothing to be sniffed at even in the NSW Cup especially for a Prop, they obviously see him as a prospect, with the end-of-season Coaches award and the fact he's a taste of the NRL. Whether he's the player on our radar is another thing though, but I hope he is because he looks like one of those that will be SL-ready when the time comes.

I believe they record the meters differently to how we do it. I think they do it from when the player gets the ball where as we do it from the advantage line.

147 is still impressive though.

If he’s in line for an NRL birth I think it’s highly unlikely he will be coming to England any time soon unfortunately for us.

He sure sounds like a decent option. There were a number of promising write ups on that list. There was a halfback too who looks to be top points scorer in the NSW cup or something.

I’m really interested to see who we may bring in. With most clubs quotas filled we could be in a good position to pick up a player who could step up with Trinity in 2025 and have us challenging for playoffs.

Could be a tough call to make for the club, in terms of half back, for 2025.

I'm not convinced Gale will be around, hes missed a few games for us already and I think this year is a big year for Lino. For me, in his three years hasn't set the world alight. He may well have a good season this year, if so do we gamble on him at a level he struggled with, bearing in mind we extended his contract by a further 3 years.

Tough call either way

I think Powell knows exactly what he wants from his halfbacks, you only need to look at how his teams have played in the past.
If Lino can step up and play the role Powell expects then he might well be the man for the job going forward. If not then I doubt he’ll be here next season.

In all fairness to Powell the 6,7,and 9, were on contracts before he arrived.Do not think any of them would be any were near the team ,if Powell had been given the choice ,is teams had a fast spine

Very true.

These positions could be major pieces of the jigsaw later in the year, in readiness, for hopefully a return to super league in 2025.

I can't imagine Gale will play after this year.
Lino is very much on trial this year
Lawford has bags of potential so is kinda also on trial.
Hood I'm not sure for SL. I like him but when you look at other teams I don't think he's close to top half of them.

If we are going for marquees in SL I'd suggest one should be a 6 or 7.

I agree with that. Either mid season this year in prep for next year or next season a top quality 6 or 7 is a must.

Just been thinking about Isaiah and his UK adventure.

We should get someone to ghost write a diary for him… then turn it into a performance art one person stage play, called…….


The Vagana Monologues

This will be the key to kicking on in 2025 should we return.

Teams on both sides of the world have struggled to recruit halves this off season due to lack of quality.

I did notice recently Milford is on the outer at The Dolphins. There doesn’t appear to be any further NRL interest.

He’s just picked up an injury which seems to be the catalyst behind him being moved on.

I would hope we are monitoring that situation, he’d be a risk but could also be a genuine game breaker and his flaws (defence) would be exposed less in SL. A mid season move could be a possibility too in 2024 once he recovers from injury.

I'm with you up to the mid season move if you mean to us.
If and it's a big If, he comes here, it's for Super League but even as a marquee I don't think we are looking that high. Even Brodie Croft was not a regular in the bottom team before he came to Salford.

I don’t think there is much appetite in SL.

Milford will be playing for the Norths Devils.

Only club that came in for him were Leigh by all accounts.

I think his options are very limited.

It is mad to even mention him as a possible target but I genuinely don’t think it’s out of the realms of possibility.

His risk profile is high (injury/attitude) which makes him unappealing plus he’s a very eyes up rather than structured player which is becoming less attractive to most coaches, but he’s the kind of wildcard signing that goes well at Trinity and I think we are not that tough a sell for a player with limited options and a point to prove.

It’s makes you wonder what happened with the Leigh deal as they seemed very keen according to reports. Brandon Wakeham is also in the NSW league now after featuring a fair bit for the Tigers last year. Always thought Cooper Johns looked alright but he’s packed NRL in for media.

This should all be on the rumours thread really but for me Milford hasn't lost his talent.
He's either going to take the Dolphins forward and look amazing or his off field issues will take him down a level. Meaning he either wouldn't come or we wouldn't want him.
Great player and I'd love to see him at Belle Vue but if had our purse strings he wouldn't be the one I'd go for.

Sounded like he was told he was in the running for the playmakers role at the Dolphins.

It’s now been reported over the weekend he’s been told he is surplus to requirements and will be playing at Norths Devils.

Oh really. I didn't see that.
That's a fall from grace. Too many off field issues I think.

Arrived and interviewed. Big lean unit. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.
