Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Madden will definitely start. If he doesn't then Madge should be instantly sacked.

Our team is weak, it needs a half to stand up and have a crack, if Brooks is in his shell Madden has at least shown he'll have a go. Hopefully he hasn't succumbed to the same lack of enthusiasm that has engulfed much of the squad.

He's kind of playing for his NRL future and it's about time he gets a shot. If he does well it will make things interesting when hastings and Doueihi come back. Fox promoting him as the 'rookie to watch' this week.

I see Euan Atkin is to be released from his Warriors contract.
Sited family reasons for not wanting to go to NZ when the Warriors relocate later in the year.
I always thought he was a good player when with the Saints.

Euan Aitkin granted an early release from the Warriors for 2023. Could plug a hole in the centres.

Wow that's surprising. I thought it was a masterstroke to have him in the backrow. He has a fantastic hit up in him, early offload and a good defender. He's a horrible centre because he completely starves his winger and can't put the winger away to save his life.

I'd look at him for the edge or a No.16 position. He's better than Garner IMO.

Aitkin would be the best centre at the club and/or a starter second rower instantly. Wish we signed him when warriors did

If we've signed Sione Fainu in our top 30 as has been reported, we have no room to sign another player unless we release someone.

We’re talking for 2023

 

[WT2K]

Aitken is a yes from me. Pretty sure we tried/had interest in him when he signed for NZW

In that case release all of them in 2023 and start again, I bags ½ back 🤪

maybe they release Madden early if they decide to keep brooks

 

[Needaname]

Yes bad history when it comes to this.. Manager most likely using us to lift value with Sharks. Maybe we are about a 20% chance and 80% Sharks.. But you got to try

Same thing happened with Papali’i.
Possible that we may still get a deal out of this.
Sharks won’t have the wiggle room to give in to managers demands.

As long as we don't offer overs by a margin just to nab him.

 

[Liddy]

I reckon Atken would be a good buy.
Very solid defender and someone who plays it hard. Just what we need.
I’d be happy for him to play centre.

 

[hammertime]

Damn. Typed Tuilagi instead of papa

 

[diedpretty]

If a player on train and trial is weighing up whether its a good career move to come here, then God help us.

more likely God help him.

Peachy, Brooks and Laurie need to go. Nofo and a couple of bench forwards need to pull their finger out too If they want to stay.

I'm a no for Aitkin. Watched a few Dragons games. He's ok but nothing too flash. Still think AJ will be good there. Will need another centre to if not Douhie.
