Atoni has no more to prove than the other props who haven't played SL yet.
I like him a lot.

Another good run out for Atoni today. A few more like than and I’ll be happy to see him remain. 


I also thought Faatili got some good minutes in today and looked fit and strong in the carry and in defence. 


Mckmeeken, Storton and Vagana were excellent. Can see Storton putting himself in with a shout of playing for England if he carries on. 

Storton is top drawer and way better than the overpaid Aussie prop KR brought over, I bet deep down they wish they hadn’t wasted their money and kept him, their loss our gain

Atoni had a great game yesterday, probably 2nd to McMeeken.  Loved his offload that led to Russel's try.

I agree on Atoni
Didn't miss a tackle either.
I'm not sure what else he needs to do for you Trojan

What do you mean? I said he played very well in the last two games. I’m not criticising him and haven’t at all. 

I did clearly say that for me I want to see a string of consistently good performances to justify any extension beyond this season. 


That’s what he needs to do for me. Great start, let’s see it carry on. 

Some murmurs that Lewis Dodd could become available to Superleague soon as his expected starting shirt has gone to another young half. 


Probably would be a signing worth looking at for 2026 and onwards but we do have Trueman, Lino, Russell and Lawford.  so it’s unlikely. 


I would like to see us extend Roarke next season as he’s a player that could cover the full back line. So hard to find a place for him but I also feel he’s too good to not be playing. 

Not a rumour, and I decided not to start a new thread for it but news - Neil Tchamambe has signed a two-year contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2027 season.

So along with Jayden Myers, that's 2 young wingers we've got signed up for the next few years. You get a feeling and it's just that, it may be Walmsley's last year, especially as we need quota space next season for Smoothy. As much as I like Walmsley and he always gives 100%, he does seem to be the obvious guy to make way. Saying that he'll have no problems getting another contract if we do decide to not renew, either at another SL club or more likely one of the top Champ clubs.

Rumours that Tom Amone isn’t happy back in NRL and wants a return to SL. 

Jayden Myers is a Centre, played 45 games with only 16 of those being as a winger and they were fairly early on in his 1st grade appearances.

Your point is still a good one though, we have 
Myers at 21
Pratt at 20
Tchamambe at 19
Hall at 22
Scott is 25

Dodd & Amone aren’t going anywhere, there aren’t any ‘rumours’ of them wanting to leave - it’s purely because they aren’t making their respective 17s at the minute.


Myers will be a winger for us, can cover centre but Powell, Mills et al see him as a top prospect winger going into the future.
