Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Staines covers fullback and wing. He is genuinely quick which Nofoaluma, Naden and Mamaulo are not.

have we ever seen Staines alleged pace? I believe he is quick off the mark but i am yet to be convinced he is 'genuinely quick'. I can't recall any runaway tries or great come from behind tackles in his career thus far.

In his debut match he demonstrated blistering pace down the right-hand touch line to score. In the game last weekend one of the commentators mentioned Staines using his pace to get across to cover defend. Our recruitment officer I recall has chased him from his junior days at Forbes. His pace as far as I am aware, has never been questioned.

I usually only watch the WT and so my knowledge of players from other teams is based on how they perform against us.

Last year at LO, the Panthers were attacking our line and put through a grubber kick. Liddle, standing about 10m out, trapped the ball and set sail for their line, pursued by Staines and Burton.

Staines made no impression on Liddle. It was Liddle first, daylight second.

Staines may be quick, but on that night, he was no quicker than Liddle.

Just watched his tries on debut. He certainly didn't show any pace in any of them. Not a winger in the game that wouldnt have scored them.
I'm not saying he definitely isn't quick, just that I'm yet to see it.

I remember that also. I watched again before commenting as I was going to add that into the post. With how much Staines had run past the ball, then needing to turn and chase he was giving Liddle about 20m head start. Not sure he could've caught him if he was as quick as alleged.

Four try debut. Second try, he went down the right touch line with blistering pace to set up Edwards. I wrote he scored but he didn't but certainly set it up. Players with this pace turn half chances into tries such as Coates or JAC and save tries.

Charlie Staines' miracle debut

Just read all the dally m tips being likely winner by position and a handful of challengers for each position and guess what WT don't get a mention
Last 2 position winners Luke Brooks - halfback a few years ago but that led to him getting his huge contract and the other winner Nofoaloma -winger
and that led to 5 year contract .
Conclusion better not to have any winners at the moment

How does Sheens avoid your wrath? He is the football manager and has direct responsibility for roster changes

He's just as responsible mate.

RTS is the fish we gotta target..... Munster and Moses ain't coming

RTS however is a real chance, the kiwi connection with Benji and wanting to potentially come back to the NRL would be real I believe - ala Benji when he went sure he knows better than anyone how to sell the NRL return back to him knowing he went through it too

500k to play wing at Roosters would be on the table, but 1mil to come back fullback here under Benji would be intriguing for him I believe

Get that done and go straight for Dylan Brown with Brooks at 7 - AD to centre with Laurie off wherever he wants

1. RTS
3. AD
6. Dylan Brown
7. Luke Brooks
9. Api

Of all the outrageous possibilities, this is probably most likely.

IF Benji really had that pull, Dylan Brown idolised him and Benji has always spoken about how he's a big fan of his. On top of that there's their Kiwis connection, and same for RTS.

We came last by a mile if we did have anyone it would be Joe but to get dally m points teams need to win or not get thrashed.

First concession from Pascoe, have heard "he can sit out the season" a few times.

Lol at Munster prick teasing is at the dally Ms

Imo if you watch tapes of Staines and Naden, Staines is more of a sprint style runner where Naden tends to be a strider.
Of the two I’m sure Staines would win a match race.

I remember back at school where there was this idea going around amongst the coaches to offer sprint athletes a chance to trial with the firsts.

The biggest problem is they had no real strength, skill, timing or agility. They also didn’t have the motivation to compete in contact.

It was all straight ahead for these guys. Even when they made a break, they were easily knocked off their centre of gravity.

Needless to say, most ended up in 2nds, 3rds or 4ths.
