Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Saukura, Ogden is around...
Talau,Toa.... Even Roberts.
As I said - There's guys that can fill those spots in ressies...
We need top liners.

Roberts, Toa, Tupou aren't top liners...
Junior has barely learned to speak in 20 years - He won't be an NRL fullback in this lifetime.

Brooks is a dead set mute but you bang on about how great a 7 he is and that's an even more important position for communication

 

[tigertragic]

Anyone who has Tupou at FB hasn't ever spoke to him....
He should never be there.
Isn't even old enough or been around long enough to be able to read the game.

He's a timid timber... Leave him on the Wing.

Fully agree, but I think Tim may have him in the position in the future years

Based on what exactly?
He’s only contracted for another 2…
He’s barely making a name on the wing - he’s got a million miles to go there, without assuming he’s headed for the spine.

Ok - Just an opinion....
Don't go betting your house on it.

Tupou is apparently playing FB in NSW Cup to specifically improve his communication.
I'd like to see him on the wing in FG if I'm honest, but given the FG situation is such a disaster at the moment he's probably better off in NSW Cup.

Do we not have a couple spots left for this season , what aren’t we out grabbing some players , are we promoting with in ? But I would have thought we looked at someone to assist us for the rest of the year , kids can’t do it

Does anyone know what has happened with the ex Keebra Park Qld schoolboys prop from last season Herman Tofaeono?

He played a few of the early rounds of SG Ball for the Magpies (with Dotoi) then haven't seen his name listed anywhere (NSW or Qld). I'm assuming he sustained a long-term injury. He is a powerhouse metre-eating prop in the mould of what we lack in the seniors.

He's had an injury, surgery and moon boot.

Seemingly it wouldn't have mattered and he'd not be playing in anycase.

Hes still only young it would be super intimidating trying to to tell grown men where to go on a football field give him some time to grow into his body and give him plenty of time at fullback in reserve grade he can be a star he has a touch of class about him

Didn’t say he hasn’t got class but just don’t see how a quite player will be a good fullback. Winger maybe Center sure.

Re super intimidating Laurie was barking orders last year in his 1st NRL game at fullback.

Players have it or they don’t & some positions we need talkers (Hooker, Halfback and Fullbacks).

I still think there is something doing with Luke Thompson. He has been back home in the UK for family reasons for the past month and now he’s finally back he supposedly still has concussion symptoms. Last game he played was round 12.

Not saying he is coming here but it sure is sus and I’d take him for sure.

He was on massive money at the dogs.Let him stay in the UK as he was not worth anywhere near what he was getting

This thread signings suggestions and rumours should drop the word signings as it is just suggestions and rumours almost nothing that is a likely or imminent signing .Tim what are you doing ?are we making any offers?
Our Roster is so bad we can't put a competitive team on the field

Nathan Brown not named in Eels 22 this week. Reckon he changes club before Friday. Not saying to us just think he will move this week

TBH i know a lot don't like him but if we could add him at the right price I would not say no. We need some experienced players and not a lot out there.

I’m not worried about what he is on at the Dogs, that’s between him and them. If we could get him on a fair deal he easily better than almost all of our forwards. We should always be interested in players that improve our squad.

For 2022/23 plus 1 year option he would be fine

Madge not coaching anymore.

He's a dud.

Melbourne for the rest of the year...?

Didn't @THE_POM say it's being considered?

My mate just said WT, hopefully it's true. Storm would love him for their finals tilt
