Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

In Tristan's case there was no choice but to play him in NSW Cup.
Anyone eligible for an age group team should remain there if we want to develop them. The next step should be NRL.
Our Reserves are putrid , nobody's learning anything standing behind a tryline 10 times a game.

We had a choice. He was improving. Learning the game. Solid in what he knew at that time.
 
We do have plenty of talent within our juniors, but so does every other club.
To find Pole and Bula, then add the emerging Galvin, Da Silva and Mason plus recruiting the Fainu brothers, along with the fast emerging Large brothers, Makasini and Godinet just to name a few is very good.
Obviously we have other young hopefuls amongst them and future recruitment of more young talent will be very important.
If we recruit 6-8 good standard players, some young and looking for opportunity, others a bit older and wiser but have attributes we are lacking, we would quickly change from being a bottom 3 team to a genuine top 8 contenders.

They have 1 free spot this year and 4 next year .. its tight ..and they don’t seem to churn over the guys that they don’t want as easily as other clubs…

Thats why I prefer these limited roster spaces to be filled with established first grade talent.. not fringe guys at other clubs

Yes and plenty of others can be pushed out if they don’t start showing us some value for money,

I’m tipping Richo will be ruthless and tapping quite a few on the shoulder very soon if they don’t start showing big improvement quickly.
we will see…

They had to get HR involved to get Noto out the door with a pay out .,,and he wasn’t even showing up to training on time
 
A signing for the thread
 
Bold prediction here. Latu Fainu to evolve into a lock by next season - the Cameron Murray mould.

The kid is a nugget, probably can tackle better than most in our club & has that something special about him.

Imagine a spine of Bula - Galvin - Luai (Sezer) - Fainu - Api (TDS).
 
I suggest we sign that fiery number 6 from Manly , seems to have way more skill, superior speed , defensive aggression and commitment then anyone in our back line. Maybe wrong but seems their fans appreciate having him in the side Perhaps he is under a long term contract and no chance of getting him ?

i can understand the thought process but I reckon it’s a 5% chance.

Latu is not going to want to play in the middle and tackle his backside off

He’s a flashy 6…

cam Murray is a tackling workhorse …

Ain’t gonna happen I reckon
