Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Needaname]

Yes it's on the cards. I don't claim to be well connected to the club so I rarely comment on signings like this, but in this particular case I have heard solid info that I trust.

Well we appreciate you filling us in.
Very interested to see how this plays out.
Could be as soon at Tohu Harris is fit.
Likelihood of Barrett going sooner to them I’d imagine.

The Nikora issue is dragging on for the Sharks. The longer it continues, the better for WTs.

The More We win and look like a Club on the up, The better it is for the WTs.

Multiple meetings taking place today Aitken being one of them

for some reference.
Aitken is 182cm and 96kg
Isaah Papali’i is 182cm and 108kg
Nikora is 185cm and 94kg
He is not as small as it seems and gets through 80mins consistently.

Pathways meeting is next week. Aitken's discussions have progressed quickly. Nikora seems to have made his choice elsewhere based on conversations had over the weekend. Jack Williams appears to off to the Storm.

Hearing this also we have given Nikora a deadline or we take his contract off the table

What about Hopgood?

Is Aitken a good chance of signing?

More likely than others at the moment, doesn't have a lot of Sydney Options at the moment, but the deal from all accounts won't be massive $$ wise.

does the club see Aitken has a back rower or a centre?

Back Rower, Sheens is the one pursuing this.

Could he come mid season?

 

[Tiger Tarl]

What's the price for Aitken? Surely cheaper than Nikora...

I don't mind solid moneyball-style signings (Jackson Hastings for example) as it means we can have good coverage with the potential to still splash for a legit gamebreaker.

Does the club see him as a lock?

what aload of crap

Kid is 20 years old and had 2 years with very little footy coz of Covid. He'll be just turned 24 (age of Harry Grant now) after learning from Api and playing off the bench at the end of Apis contract. In terms of his career and development, he's still a kid and if developed correctly will be our Hooker for a decade after Api leaves.

What about Hopgood?

Hopgood is like the pre Jack Williams.
