Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

To get a winning team we must find some top class recruits
I don't think Jacko is a forward .He's a good half-back and organiser
I would pair him with Brooks ( we have to use as he's our most expensive player) I would try Douehi at fullback more robust than Laurie
We have wingers a plenty ,But no decent centers must recruit one or two
The forwards we have Steph, Joe , Api , Isaiah, and maybe Twal and Blore
That leaves us 3 short. Team is 6 forwards and 3 bench . So at minimum we need 1 top class center and 3 top class forwards
Eg . Bradman Best , maybe Sua ,maybe Nathan Brown ,maybe Tapau or Klemmer

The only good place for Brooks is with another organisation

Can you imagine AD at Fullback, everytime a player on the other side makes a break a try is on, his defence is terrible.

DL's defence far better.
I really feel AD better at centre or wing.

And out there near the sideline, he has help.

The sideline itself.
Big man grab opponent push over the line. ????

He made a pretty good cover tackle on Moga. Bigger body to bring the football back to start the sets, can still inject himself in attack and run the football. I don’t know if he is a 6, maybe benji and Sheensy have a plan to improve his game. Definitely looked a better player when Hastings was on the field. Is Daine Laurie our long term number 1? I don’t think he plays fullback at any other club.

Dragons going for unwanted Warrior, Jack Murchie .. saying they need back rowers .. maybe there is some truth about Jayden Su'a leaving the Snap Dagoons .. hopefully to us .. ;-)

No good harping on about Brooks , he will be here next year we just gotta live with it

If he is still with us next season .. no other club will want to offer him a gig after next season .. he's 27 now 28 in Dec .. another contract with us will see him out to 29 / 30 years of age .. he'll go down in the history books as the "half back who failed to take us to the finals" .. if i was him, i'd leave now .. !!

The exception of George Williams for Canberra

He was a very good half

Yeah he was alright but he’s been terrible and I mean terrible this year, his team is stacked and were expected to fight for the title and instead they weren’t far off relegation

Could have insisted that the tapes of the conversation between on field ref and bunker be made public

This would have been pointless as there would be nothing there out of the ordinary. Just the bunker confirming they had a challenge left - which is part of his job. Trust me in game conversations between match officials are very boring there is no smoking gun.
 
Looking at what we have .. or might have for next season. Switch the players around to where you might think suits our side:

1. Laurie
2. Nofa / Tupou
3. Talau / Kepaoa
4. To'a / Naden
5. Maumalo
6. Doueihi
7. Hastings / Brooks
8. Utoikamanu / Twal
9. Koroisau / Ngatikaura
10. Ofahengaue / Pole
11. Papailii
12. Blore
13. Nu Brown

Then we have some:
some POMS ??
Saukuru
Matamua
Kautoga
Freebairn
Dias
Ma'anaima
and any other players we might be lucky to sign up..??

The day Lee and Justin are gone, will be the day the tigers come back into the light. Until then, we’re stuck in the shit.

That's nice, replace with who?

You do realise the board who you also want gone pick the new ceo and chair.

Who's says who they pick is better?

Just my thoughts …..

Laurie will have competition from Stains or if not Stains some other decent fullback recruit. So time will tell.
I think Naden to centre & perhaps Doueihi (not my answer at 5/8) to partner.
Brooks and Hastings are my half pairing.
Blore has had almost two seasons injured so jury is out on him and same with Talau.
Nu Brown decent roster backup but not a starter. Same with To’a and Kepaoa.
