Ahh, yes it does but that section isn't easily visible on a mobile. Need to go through menu. Rather than the large membership button on the front page that doesn't work.The Membership & Ticketing button works

The membership links all seem to be working for me. A friend signed up for a membership online the other day too.
I would think Clark & Newsome, they have the most pace and propensity to having a workrate, Kellaway simply needs to do more every game, and Naiyaravoro needs to do a lot more each game - and probably 10% of his body fat
Agreed, my only concern is that Clark and Newsome are quite similar (and to a lesser extent Kellaway). Naiyaravoro offers a point of difference. I don't generally like carrying wingers on the bench but it is something that can work in Naiyaravoro case.
Yeah take your point, it might sound a bit crackpot but I'm actually thinking defending around the ruck almost as a forward whilst the back rowers cover out wide or everyone shuffles out one. Not sustainable at a national level but I think stranger positioning has been used in Super before and you can probably get away with it. Plus imagine the impact he could have at a defensive ruck, could blow through the opposition if they have limited numbers and create turnovers.I'm not sure moving him in closer makes that better. He can clearly get exploited by kicking over him because he is slow to turn around but his one on one tackling is poor. Outside of the occasional big hit he is not a good tackler and gets beaten one on one a fair amount in situations where he is in a perfectly good position to make the tackle.
There seems to be a large gulf between the standard required to be a quality winger at Super and at Shute Shield level. Richie Wolfe scored a heap of tries for Norths thanks to his sheer pace but I don't think he'd be anywhere near defensively capable of taking down a guy like Koroibete. So it seems you get a lot of wingers who are good defenders and of a reasonable size who can do the hard work around the ruck even though they lack any big X factor like size or pace.Agreed, my only concern is that Clark and Newsome are quite similar (and to a lesser extent Kellaway).

The gulf in standards applies to most positions on the field, stars in the SS can disappear totally without trace when they are elevated to the Soup.
I think part of the reason that he hasn't been able to work out how to use his talent is poor strategy/coaching.
Anyone in a professional program works hard but in all fairness strategy and coaching aren't the reason he perpetually sits 10kg over his ideal playing weight.
Sounds a bit like Jonah's appetite without either Jonah's metabolism or his ability.
Wherever he stops, it takes some serious intake to pack on 10kg in 4-6 weeks, if indeed he did.
