Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Daine Laurie is still without an updated offer as he heads into the final year of his contract.
I like the approach, he needs to perform to demand the money fullbacks are on, he has been one of our best but in saying that the team wernt really setting the world on fire so wasn't too hard for him to stand out. I personally don't think he's our long term fullback solution, hopefully he proves me wrong, only time will tell.
 
We seem to be confident because of Api ,Papalii , and Klemmer signings a couple of years ago we got excited about the Leuleua brothers and a Penrith prop called Tamou and a year ago excited about 2 Wigan stars Hastings and Gildardt . I agree our pack a bit better especially if Stephano who is a real line buster can stay fit . However our entire backline doesn't thrill me with same half's we've had for years and imo no specialist centers . Tommy Talau used to be a half decent center but now I am told no longer fast enough .
Weve got many wingers and no decent centers . Maybe Naden can adapt ?
Maybe Staines?
Did anyone really ever get excited about Gildart though?
 
He is the sort of player a team like Riff need. Minimum contract, experienced back up for injuries, suspensions and rep season. He has very little impact on your salary cap yet can do a job if and when required. Clubs like the Storm love these players.
As for us we have plenty of them but they are not on minimum contracts!!
And they were/are starters
 
Cheers mate,
Any news on Bateman and when this will go down etc.
Farnsworth would be a nice pick up
It has been mentioned Bateman's partner who's an Aussie has already moved back to Aus with their child and he has stayed back to finalize affairs in UK (has allegedly just listed their house in Wigan for sale). Read into that as you will however it would appear certain a move is imminent, the only question is will it be to the Tigers.
