Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

I call it talent stockpiling and denying other clubs with $ to spend the opportunity to strengthen their rosters.

Is there anything stopping us from signing Kikau if his contract isn’t finalised? Other than our general stench.

Would we consider David Fifita? I know he broke out in raucous laughter when it was suggested “would he consider a return to the Tigers?” But the guy is as part of WST Tigers as anyone.

He was the one who suggested it in the interview I watched. No thanks.

I think he could do a job ,maybe 45 minutes?

Nah, he’s a slightly better plodder than our current plodders. We need someone who dints the line and intimidates other forwards.

My wish list for next season would be Tapou, Fifita, Davey and Frizzell. All off contract all attainable. I’d even release Musgrove and resign Tamou another year.
We need a team of older heads in and around the group. I believe Pole is just the first of some decent front rowers we have coming through. We need props, I don’t see much point in picking up middle career ones as we would benefit most from props that can start and hold their own for a season or two whilst our younger ones develop further, with the idea of just dropping them in and out of first grade next year for experience.

How the hell could they get him under there cap they just got Angus in

Lodge had his 2022 & 2023 Warriors contract fully paid out so he is not considered as part of any new team's (Rooster's) Salary Cap cos he's effectively playing for nothing. A bit like SCOMO not getting paid for doubling up as a Phantom Minister or 5. 🍻

Why is TPJ in reserves this week...
Look like Gus has started the process of offloading players he doesn't want so he can fit in the others that are waiting..

Because TPJ should be at a totally different level.
Instead he is kind of Cruising.

The roster the dogs have is a top 8 roster. JAC and Ballin are playing at that level, but not many others in their side.

Wow that a big contract to get out of.

Given Kautoga is picked ahead of Tumeth it suggests he has not re-signed and the club are investing in Kautoga.

Probably the right call but time will tell.

You'd like to think we have a spot for both boys next year (development or Top 30). If an offer is on the table and you are a young 2nd rower in the club, you would want to stick around with Papali'i the only NRL established player in that position at this point. The chances most likely won't be the same at other clubs for this point in their careers.

Wouldn't mind seeing Kautoga get his shot this week, return to Flegg for Finals and then give Tumeth a home debut at Leichardt Oval in the last round where he played his junior rep footy.
