I think the over hyping of Newman is indicative of how poor we’ve been for a long time. Agree loads of potential, but not achieved anything in the game yet and to be honest needs to do more positive things in games like last night…..

In what way is he overhyped?

England international- not achieved anything in the game?

The lad has had horrendous luck with injuries, he’s a quality player and will show it if he gets a run of fitness. Hes one of the few English players with genuine class.

Newman looks in career-best shape as does Oledski. I think he’s been playing well this year but after his good break first half, didn’t seem to do much else last night.

1cap? Against who and what did he do? But ok, I’m fine with the love in as he’s a talent. Just think fans need some perspective when bigging certain players up though. Don’t think it helps the player either…..

What did he do?
I'm guessing you didn't listen to that one on the radio, he was a standout and scored a try

He played the whole series

"If fusi stays fit" must be the most used phrase on this board and most probably the NZ Warriors board his last 2 year there....He's not going to. He hasnt for the last 5 year. Signing him to start with was an exciting gamble, re-signing him was stupidity

Have to say it looks like another gamble that hasn’t really paid off. I’m just hoping he can get fit this season and get back into the side to contribute because we need him.

I would love for him to come back, stay fit and consistently show what a good player he is...At that point, i would thank him for his efforts, be grateful we got something back for our money, say farewell and dont, not even for one second, consider giving him another deal.

The most likely outcome is he comes back from this injury and continues to miss as many as he plays until the end of the season.

Spot on Matt.
There is absolutely nothing to suggest he is ever going to stay fit.
In fact, the evidence says the opposite.
Terrible decision to re-sign him.
We need to be prioritising a winger for 2025.

Watched bits of Dan Okoro on highlights of the Bulls v Wakey game. Seems a good prospect but lots to work on and nowhere near first grade yet would say. Could well be worth signing but not going to ease our prop rotation problems soon.

With Fusi, he could be man of steel in the second half of the season, and I don't think we should re-sign him.

The clubs in a tricky position in that they have a load of good young players, but they all seem maybe 2-3 seasons away from being regulars in the first team. I think we signed a player like Frawley, who is decent without being amazing, so that Sinfield would be able to overtake him by the time his deal is coming to an end.

We need to be smart as to whether we bring in a top end winger that then stifles the next generation coming through. As Saints and Wigan (and us previously) have shown is that in a salary capped sport, the only way to stay on top is having most of the team as home grown.

Especially as he’s broken his jaw

Straight up journey man duffer on massive dosh and blunted the path way of some good lads who could have benefitted from the salary he's been gifted for doing zilch
