Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's pretty well confirmed now that Austin is joining Kelma at Manly.
As Sapartan117 says we haven't bled too much and should look forward to a better roster 🤞
Having said that, the sceptical Cobar is concerned about tall Ken.
I thought he would get a cleanout arthroscopy of that troublesome knee and work on his fitness, speed and weight over the off season. He could then come back as a bigger weapon for us.
Is his departure just speculation?
Has anyone heard about his injury?
I had a great chat with him, brief as it was, but he came across as a very humble man.
He has a great strike record out on the wing and is tall for defusing or scoring off those bombs.

We just extended 3 centres.... and have Talau.

Time to accept it brother.

#6 AD

Talau mate he is barely first grade level, AD a better centre than talau and Starford or junior tupou

Daniel Atkinson one to keep an eye on next game for Italy. He is a 22yo halfback in the QRL, was in the Storm system until this season. Played in the centres in the 1st match and did quite well. If he's any good, I'm sure Sheens is keeping very close tabs with a hole potentially appearing in our halfback ranks.

After watching Nathan Brown captain Italy to a win, I think WT should make a play, his form was phenomenal and was MOTM, I'm sure he'd like to come home to the Tigers where it all started, he'd be a great addition with his go forward play and experience.

And also he was a 5/8 in his junior days so it mite give Sheenius a few ideas

Interesting....
Liddle -> Api
Musgrove -> Klemmer (based off POMs update)
Lucy -> Papa

Would say we are infront.

Brooks if he is released will be the hard one as can't see any club releasing a NRL quality half/58th a season early outside of us especially as the cap has increased a heap for next season. People want him gone but we don't have anyone better + we are competing with the Knights positional wise on the ladder next year. Would be dumb for us to release him a year early without some distinct benefit. Albert Kelly isn't the answer.

Agree completely. So often it seems these deals are carried out by WT amateurs.

Definitely weren't after any football related trophies and goodies.

Dally M Halfback of the Year award ...they'd get a wooden spoon now as well ...maybe they could of pinched all that weight off his back

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Luciano is a decent loss

Potentially for the Cowboys as well 😂

 

[happy_tiger]

Until contracts are signed I’ll presume Sharon Woods and Andrew fajita are adding more DNA. Probably with Phoenix Crossland stearing the ship.

Reason to rush out and buy a membership based on that news lol

 

[trentrunciman]

Is Austin Dias a big loss?

 

[ancient_magpie]

Has anybody noticed Diaz is gone too.That makes 2 props gone this week with no replacements that I know of
Maybe Klemmer?

Depends on the upgrade / replacement

Lot of unrest at Manly with Dessie sacking let’s go for Turbo, honestly the kids a star and would love to see him in a Tim sheens coached side

Be like when we got ballin, he got a good contract, then was on crutches when he arrived and played only a few games and retired, but he got his money. I would be very worried about Turbo with injuries.

2020 played 7 matches
2021 played 18 matches
2022 played 7 matches

WOULD BE BIG RISK FOR BIG MONEY.

I think magpie that because we are letting him go plus others is because we have netted klem 🤞

I hope so. Sheens loves turning second rowers into props so I hope it's not that. Luckily we don't have many second rowers.

Dammit, I wish I had a crystal ball.

Have been mentioning this... Dias for Klem is a no brainer....
Who's replacing Mikaele, Tamou and Zane?

Props were cabbage last year - But we've lost 4!!
Signed none (Maybe 1)

Yes it's concerning. What's your opinion of Pole. He is a solid lad, do you think he'd develop even more with gametime to be a solid middle?

 

[851]

I hope so. Sheens loves turning second rowers into props so I hope it's not that. Luckily we don't have many second rowers.

And centres, remember Danny Galea, Sheens team selections were diabolical near the end of his last stint here

IMO No.
We seem to he letting the right people go and better replacements coming in.
