Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Of the backline players that aren’t currently in their teams top 17, personally think Alamoti and Valemei are the best bet. Both I think would improve our team.

Would still need to sign a rep quality outside back IMO if we ever want to get back in the 8 though…

40 tries, 42 line breaks, and 1 domestic abuse case in 44 games of NSW cup. Would've played NRL here already if he wasn't a see you next Tuesday. But you see, the Roosters don't really care about whether or not a guy is a d-head or not. They just want to win. Hence why we've seen them signing every women abuser they can get their grubby claws on. He'll probably debut there eventually.

We’re going to have to fork out close to Luai money if we want a genuine, Origin quality centre. There’s only a handful.

Cobbo
Holmes
Crichton
Best
Whigton
May
Graham

None of those are available.

You could go the next rung down which would be Penisni, Ramien, Garrick, Kelly. Bird, Kris. But none of those are available

Cotric, Schoupp, Ta Whare, Chester, Averillo the next rung down. These are the sorts of players we’d most likely be attracting. I think the last two could be decent shouts. But then the question about availability comes into it.

Maybe because he's always looked good.
Fast, good hands, serious attacking threat.

Probably end up on the storm backline, killing it. Like Addo Carr.

Or not.

He got sacked for a domestic violence charge that was dropped so he could join the Roosters - he simply does not live a lifestyle that is conducive to professional football.

That was the same modus operandi this Daine Laurie used to to join Penrith - remember how that turned out?

I’m assuming by Chester you’re referring to Tom Chester from the Cowboys. He re-signed until next year not to long ago and I imagine he’ll be apart of the squad long term at some stage. He’s also a Cowboys junior so I imagine they’ll want to keep him. Averillo I think could become a possibility, I don’t see how he fits into the Dolphins lineup next year with Tupou going there. But Dolphins did pay decent coin for him from reports but whether that’s true I don’t know. We apparently tried for Bostock when they announced him for a swap this year but they said no so I’m assuming he’s also apart of their long term plans. Te Wahre and Schoupp we should at least keep tabs but if it was out those two I think I would go Schoupp. Think Te Wahre needs more of a diet to get into shape.

Averillo is probably the only player we‘d be capable of signing who would be an upgrade on anyone we have.

If Averillo becomes a possibility I think we’ll make an offer. Just have to see if he does. I don’t think Niu, Aitken or Te Whare improve us, or if by chance they do it ain’t by much.

Daine Laurie, now that’s a name I’m prepared to give one more chance at this club. Third times a charm they say. So the next Daine Laurie should be a fkn immortal.
 
I have just received a rumour that the club is interested in signing Maika Sivo for next season. Given the fact he seems to be on the outer at parra especially with Lomax coming next year I think it's a definite possibility. What do we think? Could he bounce back like Olam has

Where did you hear the rumour? Just curious.

Looked injury affected last time I saw him play. Doesn't carry it back as hard as you'd think a guy his size would. Good finisher though.
