Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[THE_POM]

Thanks Pom. Any update on Isaiah Papalii? ALso which other backrowers we looking at for next year?

Nothing has changed from the club stand point on Isaiah, he will be here next year as far as they are concerned.
If the Nathan Brown deal is done some juniors will be added to the top 30 next year i.e Tumeth. Some also rate the player we got from Dragons, Boyling.

What do we make of the Nofa move south. A good opportunity for him or is there more to come from it for the club?

There's a reason behind this & put simply Nofa & Roberts had no illness the other week.
Club hopes this will set Nofa straight & fully planning on him back for pre-season.

Some discussions have developed today that might see Nathan Brown join effective immediately.

Charlie Staines has also now been given official permission from Panthers to discuss with others for 2023, offer from the club imminent.

Doueihi 1st cab off the rank in relation to re-signing, very positive discussions this week, 3 year deal being discussed taking him to 2026.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Some discussions have developed today between who mate?
Are these just rehashed rumours from a couple of weeks ago?
If true the only thing that I'm hoping for a positive outcome is AD.
Regarding the other 2, I'd only be happy if they were bargains.
I know I might be on my pat malone with this.
Thanks Pom 👍

do you really want to have people turn on you or the NRL to desert you?

30 million is a bit beyond me mate. Well a freaken lot beyond me. I'm thinking could I con someone into paying that amount out.

I don’t know if Brown adds much to the club at this stage of his career. He is passed his best and doesn’t come across as an experienced leader who could positively influence the younger guys (I could be wrong). This has to be completed by the end of the weekend if it is to happen immediately.

Staines does add pace that we are lacking but isn’t a major step up.

I worry we are going to have the same issues we have now where we have a lot of solid first graders across the Top 30.

Edited: Staines not Sheens

I don’t think Sheens has much toe these days. In fact I don’t think he ever did.

My guy @Adam Doueihi
Sign that deal.

I agree. Staines gives us a pacy outside back but we have a lot of good but not great outside backs. He isn't great.

Brown to me is a high risk signing dependent on the contract dollars. We need back-ups though.

I just noticed my mistake and edited it as you posted. Agree with you on Sheens never having much pace 🤣

Pom, is there any implication with this Nathan brown stuff and Papalii I hope we are not clearing cap space at parra for him to back out of his contract with us and stay at the eels ?

@THE_POM Any updates re juniors re-signing?

Someone already mentioned Tumeth signing on for 2 years.
Henry O'Kane also close to re-signing.
Fa'amanu Brown has earned himself a 1 year deal for 2023
