Have to say we look to have been making some more sensible signings already since Smith has come in. Given the lack of cap space we’ve boxed quite clever and then for 2024 we could free up quite a bit if we wanted.

Question is: how competitive can we be before we get the chance to bring in some real quality and right some wrongs in the squad?

He’s not. He’s on marquee money but Mitch Achurch and Nathan Peteru were better, and they were not up to much.
Jyst watch him tonight against PNG hardly notice he’s on the field.
All things considered he’s F**king c**p and in the too 5 maybe too 3 worst over seas signing ever.

Rhyse Martin on the other hand is quality, like him more and more the longer he's here. He'll go down as a very successful overseas signing.

Hes not worth marquee money but come on hes better that Peteru and Achurch.

Tetevano was a solid rotation prop in good NRL sides and for NZ. For some reason we signed him as our number one prop, pack leader etc, a role he's never played. It's not his fault we didn't look past his career appearances to how he actually plays. That lack of due diligence sums up why our overseas recruitment has been so hit and miss over the last few years.

Given our signings Tetevano is at least likely to be back playing the role that suits him. Daft that he's on marquee money but we can't change that.

I reckon Sangare could go on to become a really dominant prop in SL with the right coaching.
