Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[batboy]

Now that the coaching stuff is sorted (and Benji has pulling power?) what's stopping us from making a big play at fellow Kiwi Joey Manu?

Easts are stacked in all the key positions and he would look good in the number 1 jersey for us. I like Laurie but Manu is being wasted at centre for the Roosters.

Now you're talking....

Mistake number 1

That is certainly not our first mistake.
But totally agree about Edwards.

I love were ur coming from but we are not getting rooooters players who they want to keep , u can offer them $100,000 more per season and they will re-sign them on $600,000 , but when they retire , u know what comes with a thank u a BIG BROWN bag full of green notes

You think..... I would suggest the problem is more so that we're not trying.
To be fair, With the issues they have coming up squeezing all that talent into their backline
- We should bring Tedesco home.

We'd entertain it - I believe they would - And I believe he would....
He's done it all, But leave a legacy - He won't leave one there....
He'll never be considered above Mini - EVER!!

If he were to retire here, It would be Hodgo who....

Wonder if Eli Katoa from the Warriors is an achievable signing. I believe he was signed long term and played well last year, but isn’t getting many games this year.

Yep i've been thinking the same thing. Could be a Papali'i type signing. Young highly rated player falls down the pecking order and needs a fresh start to rekindle his fire. Wouldn't cost too much and would give us some depth in the back row if Blore needs easing in.

Mistake number 1

Mistake number 1-9 is Luke Brooks

I agree with the suggestions of filling the roster with a couple of experienced players such as Frizell and Klemmer. Then adding others like the Sipley types (100+ games) and aiming for Pele or Katoa.

Sounds good but we have a real need for speed also

Absolutely agree.
Putting up big $$$'s for Manu as a FB puts Easts in a conundrum, as they already have the Blues/Kangaroos FB.
With Benji and Tim now onboard, Manu may just be swayed.
Offer him $1M and put the burners under the Rorters.

Throw em Laurie to sweeten the deal.

He'd look amazing in a Tigers jersey.
Franchise player.

Won't get Manu....
Teddy on the other hand.

Manu has 6 years or more left in him, Teddy - 3-4 Max.

We'd be stupid to say no to either.

Manu is an unreal talent.
Tedesco is the best fullback in the game and has been for many years.

Agree again.....but are Easts willing to move Teddy from FB, for Manu???

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’d even take LM over Tedesco in 2022.

According to James Hooper... The storm enquired about Doueihi.

The Storm have even got as creative as checking if New Zealand Warriors fullback Reece Walsh or Wests Tigers five-eighth Adam Doueihi might be interested in a late-season cameo at the Purple Reign.

While there’s no way either the Warriors or the Wests Tigers would be willing to release those star players you’ve got to admire Melbourne for the club’s lateral thinking given the position they find themselves in.
