No, he wasn't trained in uk.

Maybe not but your senior/marquee players are another year on and there not the youngest about.

If agars only after a prop and half back then tansey has to stay at 1 and berro 9

Not really, Tansey will play fullback for sure but Berro would still play in the centres and Wasy could cover the hooking role with Houghton or the new halfback might be able to play 9 too?

I also heard a few weeks back that Agar was looking to play Whiting at 13 for next season, if thats the case then Fitz can move to the backrow and Manu to the bench and Lauaki to prop.

I think we have enough options tbh, but a prop and a halfback are the correct priorities.

Neither are Mason, Galea and Vella, what's your point?

Rovelli doesn't seem to be rated by fans in Aus and at 27 isn't really a young understudy. Shouldn't we be looking for a 21-22 yr old who wants some 1st grade experience and who woud be hear to learn?

27 gives 5 or 6 seasons left. Thats a decent length of time left in a career to give. Didnt he only win the young player award 2 years ago? Is he really 27?

That's what annoys me the most people saying we should be in the 8 as if they are accepting mediocrity like the board

Thats the problem, too many people are just resigned to except mediocrity now.
'we should finish above Bradford, Salford, Cas'
'We should make the top 8'

With Agar in charge the current board and the current squad we are just gunna get more of the same, there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.
We are and should be a TOP 4 side now, not struggling to make the 8.
We should accept no less!!

At what age does a half back mature?
